A Star-Studded Celebration with Tender Moments

Despite Blanco’s muted demeanor in some images, James emphasized that his devotion was undeniable — with Gomez radiating trust and Blanco showing quiet affection beneath the cameras’ glare.

Their Santa Barbara ceremony attracted a glittering guest list. Hollywood icons Steve Martin and Martin Short spoke at the rehearsal dinner, while Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, SZA, Camila Cabello, and Finneas celebrated alongside them. Mark Ronson DJed the reception, and heartfelt speeches flowed from family and friends, including Gomez’s mother Mandy Teefey and Blanco’s parents, Sandra and Andrew Levin.

“Everyone was letting loose and celebrating them well into the night,” a source told People. “There was so much love in the room.”

Away from the spotlight, Blanco’s own Instagram post revealed an intimate side of the day. He captioned it: “i married a real life disney princess” — alongside photos of their wedding bands, Gomez resting against his chest, and even a candid shot of a young boy sprawled playfully across a rug at the altar.

The couple’s posts sparked an online frenzy, drawing more than 20 million likes. While some fans questioned Blanco’s subdued expressions — with one commenter joking he looked “like a hostage” — the overwhelming response was pure adoration.

“He looks so handsome and she looks so beautiful,” one supporter gushed. Another wrote: “SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO!!! Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your special day!!”

In the end, the wedding balanced Hollywood glamour with intimate authenticity — dazzling gowns, A-list guests, and tender unscripted moments. Whatever fans may read into the photos, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s words and actions painted the clearest picture: a couple deeply in love.
