Wedding Day Hiccups
Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez's wedding, held on September 27, 2025, in Santa Barbara, California, was marked by a notable incident involving Gomez's handwritten vows. During an appearance on *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*, Blanco recounted how Gomez lost her vows just five days prior to the ceremony, causing her significant distress. "She was crying because she couldn’t find [them]," Blanco explained, noting that the vows were missing for about four days. Fortunately, he discovered them right before the wedding, which he humorously described as a heroic moment that made him look good in Gomez's eyes.
The Role of Friends and Family
The wedding featured a star-studded guest list, including Taylor Swift and Gomez's *Only Murders in the Building* co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short. Martin and Short contributed to the lighthearted atmosphere, with Short recalling a humorous moment where he almost cut into the wedding cake prematurely. "Oh Steve, you can’t leave yet without a piece of wedding cake," Short joked, leading to a playful incident that Gomez later referenced.
Official Statements & Responses
Blanco expressed his relief at finding the vows, stating, "It was like the best thing I could have done. I’m about to marry her and then I find the thing?" This sentiment reflects the couple's desire for a meaningful yet relaxed celebration, as a source described the wedding as "pretty simple and not your typical ‘celebrity’ lavish wedding." The couple aimed to focus on enjoying their time together, with an emphasis on dancing and fun.
Criticism & Opposition
Despite the joyous occasion, some public scrutiny arose surrounding Blanco's appearance during the promotion of their podcast, *Friends Keep Secrets*. Viewers criticized him for having dirty feet in a scene, leading to questions about his hygiene. In response, Blanco defended himself on *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*, asserting, "First of all, it’s the facility’s fault, not mine. … I have great feet!" He later showcased his clean feet to dispel the controversy.
