Selena Gomez marries Benny Blanco
Selena Gomez has married music producer and songwriter Benny Blanco, announcing the news in an Instagram post showing the couple kissing and embracing on a lawn.
“My wife in real life,” Blanco responded to the post Saturday by the Grammy- and Emmy-nominated performer. Gomez wore a white halter bridal dress with floral flourishes, and Blanco wore a tuxedo and bow tie, both custom-made by Ralph Lauren.
Gomez captioned her Instagram post “9.27.25” with two white heart emoji. Her and Blanco’s ethereal wedding photos were taken by photographer Petra Collins, who has worked with Gomez before.
Earlier, paparazzi had snapped other photos of a massive outdoor tent and other preparations in the Santa Barbara area.
Gomez’s wedding post has received upwards of 14.7 million likes in just 12 hours, with various celebrities and brands taking to its comments section to offer congratulations to the couple and wish them well. Singer Camila Cabello, actor Lily Collins and comedian Amy Schumer were among those who commented, along with the official accounts for “Only Murders in the Building,” the Hulu series in which Gomez stars, and Hulu itself. Rare Beauty, Gomez’s cosmetics company, also commented, writing, “so happy for you two.”
Blanco, 37, and Gomez, 33, met about a decade ago and got engaged at the end of last year. They worked together on the 2019 song “I Can’t Get Enough,” which also featured J Balvin and Tainy.
Among the songs he’s credited on as a writer and producer: Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” “Circus” by Britney Spears and Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger.”
Gomez, whose hits include “Calm Down,” “Good for You,” “Same Old Love” and “Come & Get It,” has been in the spotlight since she was a child. She appeared on “Barney and Friends” before breaking through as a teen star on the Disney Channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place.”
She earned awards nominations in recent years for her ongoing role alongside Martin Short and Steve Martin in “Only Murders in the Building.” Gomez has a massive audience on social media with 417 million Instagram followers, the most for any woman on the platform.

Princess Kate starts driving herself to events, ditches drivers
The Princess of Wales’ most eye-catching royal moments happen before the cameras are even properly rolling.
This week, Kate quietly arrived at her own engagement behind the wheel of her own car.
The 44-year-old hosted England’s World Cup-winning women’s rugby squad at Windsor Castle on Thursday, but it was her low-key arrival that caught attention online.
In a video circulating on social media, an eyewitness spotted Kate driving herself through the Castle gates, stepping out from the driver’s seat and striding across the gravel in a striking red Alexander McQueen trouser suit.
The Prince and Princess of Wales live at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor Great Park, just a short 3.6-mile drive from the King’s Berkshire residence, close enough for a quick spin rather than a full motorcade.
While royal engagements often come with a driver in tow, getting behind the wheel is hardly without precedent.
Queen Elizabeth II famously loved driving around her private estates, often at the wheel of a Range Rover, while Prince Philip once played chauffeur for former US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama during their 2016 visit to Windsor.
The tradition continues today in slightly greener form. King Charles has developed a fondness for eco-friendly vehicles and has been spotted driving electric cars and even hydrogen-powered models reflecting his long-standing environmental interests.

Pamela Anderson walks out of Golden Globes after spotting Seth Rogen
Pamela Anderson has revealed she cut her Golden Globes night short after feeling ‘weird’ about being seated close to Seth Rogen.
Rogen is one of the producers behind Hulu’s Pam & Tommy, the dramatized series about her life that she never approved.
Speaking on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM podcast, Anderson explained, “He was in the pit at the Golden Globes, so we were close.
To her it felt weird to see him after the release of the show that told the story of the ‘worst time’ of her life.
The 58-year-old actress admitted the moment stirred emotions she thought she had moved past.
“I may have just felt like, ‘I’m not chopped liver over here.’ I felt a little bit weird about it. And I felt like, you know — I’ve been so busy working. I’ve done five movies in the last year. So, I’ve just been busy, but sometimes it hits you and you feel kind of down,” she said.
“I don’t know. It just felt a little yucky. But eventually, hopefully, he will, maybe he’ll reach out to me and apologize. Not that that matters,” Pamela continued.
Anderson added that while she considers herself “free game” as a public figure she believes Pam & Tommy crossed a line.
“Your darkest, deepest secrets or your tragedies in your life shouldn’t be fair game for TV series.”
The Hulu series, starring Lily James as Anderson and Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee, revisited the couple’s whirlwind 1995 marriage and the infamous leaked sex tape that defined much of Anderson’s career.
While director Craig Gillespie defended the project as an attempt to “change the narrative” and portray the couple empathetically, Anderson has consistently voiced her discomfort with the dramatization.
