Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are preparing to commemorate their first wedding anniversary in a uniquely personal manner. The couple tied the knot on September 27, 2025, in a charming ceremony held in Santa Barbara, California. As they approach the milestone date, Blanco shared their plans during a guest appearance on “Today with Jenna & Sheinelle,” indicating that their celebration will be notably low-key.

Blanco, a renowned music producer, revealed that he and Gomez, an accomplished cookbook author and singer, intend to indulge in slices of their wedding cake to mark the occasion. In a lighthearted conversation, he recounted how he learned of this tradition from Gomez’s grandmother. “I didn’t even know this was a thing,” he said, recalling her insistence on saving the cake for their one-year anniversary.
Their wedding cake was meant to be a small, intimate treat, but the festivities took a humorous turn when comedian Martin Short, a close friend of Gomez, mistakenly ate a portion before it could be officially served. “We have the people on top. The full cake isn’t there because Marty ate part of the cake before we were supposed to do it,” Blanco explained. He noted that the team had to hastily reassemble the cake after the unexpected mishap.
Although both Blanco and Gomez are extroverts when in the spotlight, they have made it clear that their preference for personal celebrations leans towards simplicity. Blanco remarked, “She goes, ‘I don’t want a big cake. I don’t want to do a big thing,’ and I was like, ‘Me neither.’” This mutual desire for a low-key celebration led them to opt for a small cake that ended up becoming the centre of a playful narrative thanks to Short’s unintentional tasting.
Reflecting on the cake situation, Blanco joked, “So yes, we have six slices left. I hope you only have to eat it for the first year. I hope that’s the only tradition. I don’t want to be eating this thing on year six. I didn’t even wrap it correctly. It’s probably furry now.” His light-hearted comments certainly encapsulate the couple’s approach to their relationship and celebrations.
When asked about the specifics of their anniversary plans beyond the cake, Blanco indicated a desire to relax and unwind. “We wanted to just be chill,” he explained. “We’ve been travelling so much. I haven’t been in my own bed in four months.” The couple is evidently looking forward to a much-needed respite after a period filled with travel and commitments.
For the anniversary, they might indulge in watching their wedding speeches together, making it a reflective and sentimental occasion. The couple’s wedding was officiated by Lil Dicky and featured a series of photographs shared by Gomez on social media, where she announced their happy union with the simple caption, “🤍 9.27.25 🤍.”
As they approach their first anniversary, fans of the couple can expect a warm celebration filled with laughter and fond memories, showcasing their easy-going style and genuine affection for one another. The approach they are taking—focusing on personal moments rather than grand gestures—reflects the essence of their relationship, which prioritises connection over spectacle.
With the anniversary only days away, it appears that the celebration will not only honour their love but also highlight their down-to-earth nature, making for a memorable occasion in celebration of their journey together. As Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez prepare to mark this special milestone, their fans will undoubtedly be eager to see how they embrace the day, cake mishaps and all.
