A lavish weekend wedding in Montecito
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are preparing to tie the knot this weekend at a private estate in Montecito, California. Reports suggest the ceremony will host more than 300 guests, with large marquees and security structures erected to ensure privacy.
Daily Mail has reported that security and privacy measures alone are estimated to cost around $300,000. The couple is reportedly going all out for a star-studded, high-profile celebration.
Taylor Swift spotted arriving
TMZ reported that Taylor Swift, Gomez’s close friend, arrived at the estate on Friday. Swift was carefully shielded from view by staff holding umbrellas as she exited her plane in Santa Barbara. She was seen briefly in a maroon dress and carrying a large white box, thought to be a wedding gift.
The wedding guest list
While most details of the ceremony have been kept private, guests expected include Travis Kelce, Gomez’s ‘Only Murders in the Building’ co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, and Paris Hilton, confirmed by her sister Nicky Hilton.
Gomez and Blanco’s relationship timeline
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco went public with their romance in December 2023. A year later, Blanco proposed in a low-key picnic-style engagement, giving Gomez a diamond ring reportedly worth $1 million. Gomez shared the news with the caption, “Forever starts now.”
