Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are engaged and very happy together, but they are not in a hurry to get married. On April 10, a source told Entertainment Tonight that even though Gomez is happier than ever, she and Blanco are not rushing their wedding plans. The source said, “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.”
This matches what Gomez and Blanco have said themselves about their wedding. The couple got engaged in December, so they have only been engaged for a few months. Here is everything they have shared so far about their future wedding.
No Decision on a Destination Wedding Yet
In January 2025, Interview magazine asked Gomez and Blanco if they were thinking of having a destination wedding. Gomez replied, “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.” This shows that they are still enjoying their engagement and not stressing about wedding details yet.
Gomez Keeps Changing Her Wedding Ideas
During an interview with Rolling Stone in March 2025, Blanco shared that Gomez keeps imagining different wedding ideas. He said, “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.” Right now, their music and enjoying their time together are more important than wedding planning.
They Will Dance the Hora at Their Wedding
Blanco is Jewish, and he confirmed in their Interview profile that they will dance the hora at their wedding. The hora is a traditional Jewish dance often performed at weddings. When asked if Gomez would convert to Judaism, she said, “I don’t think I’ll be doing that. 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—” Gomez finished his sentence, saying, “Turn out good.” This shows that they respect each other’s backgrounds and want to raise their future children with both cultures.
They Are Enjoying Their Engagement
Blanco and Gomez are not rushing to get married because they are truly happy just being engaged. Blanco told Rolling Stone, “It feels like we got engaged yesterday, but also feels like we got engaged 20 years ago. 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.”
Gomez also explained that her work might delay wedding planning. During their appearance on On Purpose With Jay Shetty in March 2025, she said, “We have not even begun. 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.”
How They Will Plan Their Wedding Together
Gomez and Blanco also talked about how they will work together to plan their wedding. Gomez said, “He’s very good at organizing and planning. 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.” This shows that even though they haven’t started planning yet, they know how they will divide the tasks when the time comes.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are in no hurry to get married. They are enjoying their engagement, focusing on their music, and taking things one day at a time. They have shared a few ideas about their wedding, like dancing the hora and combining their cultures for their future family. But for now, they are happy just being together and letting things happen naturally. As more details come out, fans will get a better idea of what their dream wedding will look like. Until then, Gomez and Blanco are just enjoying this special time in their lives.
