Why Selena Gomez ‘Isn’t Rushing’ to Plan Her Wedding to Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are happily engaged but not racing to the altar. On April 10, a source told Entertainment Tonight that while Gomez has “never been happier,” she and Blanco are taking their time planning the wedding of their dreams.

The source explained, “Selena and Benny are loving all the feedback on their new album [I Said I Love You First]. They’re focused on its success. They haven’t gotten into the thick of wedding planning yet. Selena isn’t rushing into anything.”

The source’s comments are consistent with what Gomez and Blanco have personally revealed about their wedding. Here’s everything the couple has shared so far about their upcoming nuptials. (They announced their engagement in December, so they’ve been engaged for less than half a year.)

Interview magazine asked the couple what their thoughts were on having a destination wedding. Gomez responded, “Honestly, we haven’t even gotten that far. We want to be so happy right now in this moment. But I don’t know. That might be hard for family.”

During an interview with Rolling Stone, Blanco revealed the couple hasn’t made any decisions about what their actual wedding day will look like. But Gomez has an active imagination, he noted: “I think every day she’s planned a new wedding in her head. We’re very much ‘take it one day at a time’-type of people. We’re still not over this moment. Literally, while you were talking, she was sitting there staring at her ring.”

Gomez added, “Also, I genuinely feel like this is such a special time that we get to apply it to this album and really just pour our heart into it, and completely translate what we feel and bring it to the world. That’s my main focus right now, at least.”

In early January 2025, Blanco, who is Jewish, confirmed in the couple’s Interview profile that “of course we will” dance the hora during their wedding. Gomez is not converting to Judaism though. “I don’t think I’ll be doing that,” she said when asked. “Not that it’s bad.”

Blanco added, “No. We want our kids to have both of our values, both of our morals, and hopefully when we mix them up in a pot they’ll—”

“Turn out good,” Gomez finished.

Blanco and Gomez are not in a rush to tie the knot for good reason: They are happy to be where they are. “It feels like we got engaged yesterday, but also feels like we got engaged 20 years ago,” Blanco told Rolling Stone. “I’ve known her since she was 18, and so it’s like we got all that stuff out of the way. By the time we’re dating, it’s like, whoa. My biggest regret is that we didn’t get to do this earlier, like we waited this long to be together. But I know it was perfect and it was right.”

During Blanco and Gomez’s appearance on On Purpose With Jay Shetty in March 2025, they were asked about the status of their wedding plans. “We have not even begun,” Gomez said. “Because I think for right now, there’s just so much going on. I have to go and shoot a series [Only Murders in the Building] for a while. And I don’t know, we’ll just see. We’re not in any rush. And I’m excited to see what happens.”

Blanco added, “I’m just happy she says yes. I don’t even care about the next step. No, but...we’ve been doing so much stuff. We haven’t even gotten to really just like bask in the glory. So it’s like, I think we're looking forward to doing that in New York a little bit.”

Gomez and Blanco spoke about how they’ll work together to plan their nuptials. “He’s very good at organizing and planning,” she said during On Purpose With Jay Shetty. “And I’m very visual. So I’m like, ‘This is what I like and this and this.’ And then he figures out how to [make it happen].”

Blanco added, “She’s already told me the types of things she likes and wants for a wedding.”
