Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Celebrate First Wedding Anniversary: ‘Still in the Honeymoon Stage’

A year of loving each other like a love song. Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are celebrating their first wedding anniversary, one year after exchanging vows in an intimate ceremony in Santa Barbara, California, on September 27, 2025. Ahead of the milestone, Gomez told People that the couple is “still in the honeymoon stage.” “It just feels so wonderful to have a partner that actually genuinely listens and just meets you right where you are, whatever that mood or day looks like,” she said. “I just need him, and I love him, so it’s pretty great”.

The Selena Gomez Benny Blanco anniversary celebration will be a low-key affair. Blanco revealed on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle that they plan to eat slices of their saved wedding cake, a tradition Gomez’s grandmother insisted on. “We have six slices left,” Blanco joked. “I hope you only have to eat it for the first year. I didn’t even wrap it correctly. It’s probably furry now”. The couple may also watch their wedding speeches. “We wanted to just be chill,” Blanco said. “I haven’t been in my own bed in four months”.

Blanco called Gomez his “best friend” and “yin and yang,” saying married life has been “so easy.” “It’s my best friend that I get to spend the rest of my life with,” he said. Gomez praised his support, saying he “never took control” when they worked on their joint album I Said I Love You First. “He wants my decisions to be my decisions,” she shared. The couple’s wedding was officiated by Lil Dicky and attended by Taylor Swift, Steve Martin, and Martin Short.
