Selena Gomez And Benny Blanco Rehearsal Dinner Sets the Tone for Their Dream Wedding.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have officially kicked off their wedding weekend — and it couldn’t have started on a sweeter note.
On Friday, Sept. 26, the 33-year-old singer and actress and her fiancé, 37-year-old music producer Benny Blanco, gathered with family and close friends for an intimate rehearsal dinner at a private estate. Guests described the evening as having “the best vibe,” with the celebration carrying on late into the night as laughter and music filled the air.
The cozy dinner marks the first big moment of their wedding festivities, which are expected to draw some of the couple’s closest celebrity friends, including Taylor Swift, Paris Hilton, and Selena’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Paul Rudd.
From Secret Romance to Engagement Bliss
Selena and Benny first went public with their romance in December 2023, about six months after they quietly began dating. A year later, on December 11, 2024, Selena surprised fans by announcing her engagement on Instagram, showing off photos of Benny’s romantic picnic proposal — complete with her favorite Taco Bell and a sparkling marquise-cut diamond ring.
Pre-Wedding Celebrations in Style
The couple has been enjoying a season full of pre-wedding festivities. Selena recently jetted off to Cabo San Lucas for her bachelorette party, where she was seen celebrating on a luxury yacht with her closest friends, laughing, dancing, and soaking in the sun.
Benny’s bachelor bash took a different turn in Las Vegas, where he indulged in spa time, caviar dinners, and late-night fun with Lil Dicky and Marshmello at XS nightclub. Sharing highlights on Instagram, Benny wrote, “I’ll never forget this weekend,” as he tagged Resorts World Las Vegas in a post from his extravagant dinner table spread.
Selena also gave her fans a behind-the-scenes look at her bridal celebrations, posting photos of her chic bachelorette attire — including a veil embroidered with “bride to be” and a playful balloon backdrop spelling out “Mrs. Levin” in honor of Benny’s real last name, Levin.
Selena Speaks on Her Wedding Journey
Earlier this month, Selena appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she opened up about the exciting wedding preparations. When Fallon asked if she was having fun, Selena beamed: “It’s wonderful. I’m very lucky. It’s going well. I’m so excited.”
Now, with their wedding weekend officially underway, fans around the world are watching closely as one of Hollywood’s most unexpected yet beloved couples takes the next big step in their love story.
