Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco set to wed this month in Gwyneth Paltrow’s neighbourhood in South California

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are getting ready for one of the most expected celebrity weddings of 2025. The 33-year-old Hands To Myself songbird and the 37-year-old hitmaking music producer will say 'I do' in Montecito, California, a scenic town not much far from Santa Barbara.

Star-Studded Location

Located on the Central Coast of California, Montecito is between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The place is already home to many of Hollywood’s popular names, like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Several sources shared to Daily Mail, last week that the couple's wedding plans are in September, while TMZ reported later that the celebration would happen “at the end of the month.”

Wedding Choices

Selena Gomez intends to skip tradition when it comes to dessert and lean for comfort and simplicity. In a candid video, the Texas native shared: “My preferred dessert would be biscuits and gravy. My Nana’s biscuits and gravy. That sounds like dessert to me.” She added: “Whenever that day comes, I do know I don’t want a big cake.”


These preferences show the singer’s wish to keep her wedding private and reflective of her roots, rather than following celebrity extravagance celebrations.

Love Story in the Limelight

The couple officially confirmed their relationship in December 2023, and got engaged after a year. Sharing her joyful moment with fans, Selena posted a photo of her elegant ring accompanied with the caption: “Forever starts now.” The diamond, valued nearly $1 million, was chosen by Benny.

Their engagement happened after months of creative collaboration, which was highlighted by their working on their joint album I Said I Love You First. The project was released in March and portrayed their chemistry.

Benny with Selena

In June, Blanco appeared with Richard Wilkins on Australia’s Today show to talk about music, love, and their wedding. The Hal David Starlight Award winner confirmed that life “couldn't be better” after releasing the album after being engaged.

When Wilkins humorously said, “Most people when they get engaged they plan a wedding, but you and Selena make an album,” Benny laughed, explaining: “We just started making music in our house as a little fun activity and then all of a sudden we had one song, then two songs, then three songs, then four songs.”

Speaking about his fiancée, he added: “She was just a joy to work with and it was better to work with her than anyone else because at the end of the day I get to kiss her too.”

As the end of September nears, anticipation is climbing for Gomez and Blanco’s big day. With a dreamy Montecito charm, personal menu ideas, and the undeniable bond the couple share.
