Selena Gomez and โฃBenny Blanco Celebrateโข First Thanksgiving โฃas Husbandโ and Wife
Selena Gomez and Benny โขBlanco markedโ their firstโ Thanksgiving as a married couple, just weeks after โฃtying the knot on โฃSeptember 27, 2025, inโ Santa Barbara, California. The holiday celebration comes โafter aโ relationship that unexpectedly blossomed from a professional connection spanningโข several years, culminating inโ a whirlwind romanceโ and December 2024 engagement.
The couple’s journey from musical โฃcollaborators to life partners has captivated โคfans, offeringโข aโค glimpse into a relationship โbuilt onโ humor, honesty, and โa willingnessโ to โขdefy expectations. Their story underscores โขthe unpredictableโฃ nature of love and theโ possibilityโ of finding a lasting connection in unexpectedโ places, a โฃnarrative that resonates widelyโ with Gomez’s โคdevoted fanbase and the public at large. As they navigate their first holiday season โas husband and wife, the pair are setting a new chapter in their lives, โขsolidifying a bond that began with shared musical projects and โฃevolved into โคa โขdeeply personal connection.
Gomezโฃ and Blancoโข initially crossed paths through music, collaborating on tracks like “Same Old Love” and โ”I Can’t Getโ Enough”โ with Tainy and J Balvin. However, Gomezโข revealed onโฃ the August โ7 episode ofโ the Therapuss with โJake Shane podcast, their โคearly interactions โคdidn’t spark a โขromantic connection.โข “I feelโฃ like he wasโ an acquaintance, if that makes sense,” she โexplained. “To be honest, we weren’t besties.I just thought he was nice, and then we did a few songs togetherโฆnothing really there. and then โ [we did] ‘I can’t Get Enough’โฆdidn’t get it there either. I justโ thought heโ was funny,โ butโ I didn’t think anything of it.”
The dynamic shifted during the creation of gomez’s 2023โ single, “Single Soon,” which she later admitted wasn’t her “favorite.” “I can say this because I’m marrying โhim,” Gomez confessed on the podcast. “It just really wasn’t what I thought I wanted.” Following the โขsong’s release,Blancoโค invited Gomez to a โseries of dinnerโฃ nights,leading to a two-hour conversation and the start โof โฃtheir romantic relationship.โ
Gomez recounted Blanco’s initial hesitation aboutโค mixing work and โromance, acknowledging the potential for public scrutiny.โค “He was terrified in the beginningโฃ as it wasโ workโ and its combining, and people are going toโ getโฃ mad,” sheโค shared. โ”And I’m like, ‘Iโ don’t give aโค shit. kiss me.'”
