Selena Gomez can’t contain her excitement as she looks forward to marrying her fiancé, Benny Blanco. The 33-year-old singer-actress recently appeared on Therapuss with Jake Shane on Wednesday, Aug. 6, where she shared details about her upcoming nuptials with Blanco, aged 37. The couple, who first crossed paths while working together on “I Can’t Get Enough” in 2019, announced their engagement on Dec. 11, 2024, after being in a relationship for about a year. Despite the major chunk of wedding planning still looming ahead, Gomez expressed her eagerness to take the plunge and marry Blanco. She mentioned, “I just have never really felt so sure about something.”

Gomez revealed that both she and Blanco are currently engrossed in their individual pursuits, but once their ongoing projects wind down, they will delve into the “nitty-gritty” of planning their wedding. Blanco had also shared similar sentiments when he appeared on the podcast just a month earlier, emphasising their excitement for the future while being preoccupied with multiple commitments. Although there hasn’t been much time to start the wedding preparations, they are both looking forward to setting the ball rolling soon.
Recalling their journey from professional collaboration to a romantic relationship, Gomez disclosed that after working together on a project, she asked Blanco to introduce her to anyone he knew who was appealing. Subsequently, Blanco invited her to a gathering with friends, which eventually led to them dating. Despite initial apprehensions due to the work dynamics, Gomez made the first move by embracing their newfound affection, indicating their strong bond both personally and professionally.
One key detail Gomez seems certain about for their big day is her preference for biscuits and gravy as the dessert at their wedding. In an interview clip for her skincare and cosmetics brand Rare Beauty, she mentioned her disinterest in having a grand wedding cake but is open to a small one to adhere to tradition, with plans to freeze it for the future. The couple seems to be planning their wedding with careful consideration of their personal preferences, blending elements of tradition with their unique touch.
As the couple navigates through their busy schedules, their commitment to each other is unwavering, and their anticipation for the wedding day shines through. The love and respect they share for one another are evident in their approach towards the marriage planning process, highlighting a strong foundation for their future together. With support from fans and well-wishers, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are poised to embark on this new chapter in their lives with promises of love, laughter, and a hint of biscuits and gravy as a sweet touch to their special day.
