Singer and actress Selena Gomez has married music producer and songwriter Benny Blanco, sharing the news on Instagram with a photo of the couple kissing and embracing on a lawn.
Blanco, 37, responded to Gomez’s post Saturday, writing, “My wife in real life.” Gomez, 33, wore a white halter-style bridal gown adorned with floral details, while Blanco donned a custom Ralph Lauren tuxedo with a bow tie.
Preparations for the wedding, including a large outdoor tent, had been spotted earlier in the Santa Barbara area by paparazzi.
The couple’s friends and professional associates congratulated them online. The official Instagram account for Gomez’s Hulu series Only Murders in the Building posted, “Our Mabel is MARRIED,” while her cosmetics brand Rare Beauty wrote: “So happy for you two.” Celebrities including Camila Cabello and Amy Schumer also extended their best wishes.

Blanco is known for co-writing and producing hits such as Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream, Britney Spears’ Circus, and Maroon 5’s Moves Like Jagger.
Gomez, who began her career as a child on Barney and Friends, rose to fame as a teen star on Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place. Her recent projects include hit songs like Calm Down, Good for You, Same Old Love and Come & Get It, as well as her role alongside Martin Short and Steve Martin in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, earning her multiple award nominations.
