The whispers have grown louder, and it seems the countdown has finally begun. According to multiple reports, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are set to exchange vows this weekend in Montecito, California, marking what may be one of the most intimate yet star-studded weddings of the season. The wedding guest list, as expected, will be full of Hollywood's favorites. The lingering question, however, remains whether Gomez’s longtime best friend, Taylor Swift, will be making her way to Santa Barbara for the celebration. What is certain is that Gomez’s inner circle has been by her side every step of the way. Just weeks ago, she celebrated a chic bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas with close friends Racquelle Stevens, Ashley Cook, and Courtney Lopez – a prelude to her coastal California vows. Meanwhile, Blanco’s bachelor festivities took on a different energy, unfolding in Las Vegas at a lavish $25,000-a-night villa.
Sources close to the couple have confirmed that the ceremony will take place Saturday, September 27, at a private estate tucked within the serene beauty of Santa Barbara. Guests are rumored to be staying at El Encanto, an opulent hotel known for its sweeping coastal views and refined privacy – the perfect sanctuary for a wedding cloaked in both elegance and secrecy. The romance between Gomez and Blanco first became public at the end of 2023, and their engagement nearly a year later felt like a natural next step for the pair. Earlier this month, Gomez appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, glowing as she shared glimpses of the journey: "It’s wonderful. I’m very lucky. It’s going well. I’m so excited." If reports hold true, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco will soon pledge forever in front of their closest friends and family, wrapped in Montecito’s golden light.
