Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez’s wedding didn’t exactly go off without a hitch.
According to Blanco during his Thursday, February 26, appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Gomez was left in tears after misplacing her handwritten vows less than a week before the couple were scheduled to tie the knot.
“She was crying because she couldn’t find [them],” Blanco, 37, told host Jimmy Kimmel, explaining the vows were “lost” for about four or five days.
Blanco ultimately saved the day by finding the vows just in the nick of time, he told Kimmel.
“I found them, right before the wedding!” he said. “I didn’t look. I closed my eyes and handed them to her. I swear! I swear I didn’t look.”
The music producer then joked that discovering the important lost item made him look like a hero to Gomez, 33.
“But how good is it? It made me look so good,” Blanco said. “It was like the best thing I could have done. I’m about to marry her and then I find the thing?”
Gomez married Blanco in late September 2025 in a star-studded ceremony held in Santa Barbara, California.
“Everyone there was sobbing, and it was extremely emotional,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly of the pair’s nuptials at the time, adding that Gomez “bawled her eyes out” when Blanco recited his heartfelt vows. “The wedding was pretty simple and not your typical ‘celebrity’ lavish wedding.”
According to the insider, Gomez and Blanco “just wanted to dance and have fun” throughout the evening. The source added, “You could feel so much love from them.”
The couple publicly shared the news of their engagement at the tail end of 2024 after more than a year of dating.
“Forever begins now,” Gomez captioned an Instagram post on December 11, 2024, which contained an image that showed off her engagement ring.
For his part, Blanco celebrated the relationship milestone by writing in the comments section, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
In February 2025, Blanco and Gomez gushed over one another while speaking with Interview magazine for its Valentine’s Day issue.
“You know when you think you met the right person, you’re like, ‘Oh my God.’ But it feels so different,” Blanco told the outlet. “The second we started hanging out, I was like, ‘This is my wife.’ I was telling my mom, ‘This is the girl I’m going to marry.”
Blanco explained in the interview that their yin-and-yang personalities complement each other.
“It’s so good because I get her out, and she calms me down when I need it,” Blanco gushed. “She’s the first person that I’ve been with where I’m like, ‘I don’t even give a f**k what’s going on. I could sit in this bed with you for 72 hours and feel like I didn’t miss anything.’ She’s like my f**king heroin and Xanax combined.”
Gomez added that she was the first one to fall head over heels while spending time with Blanco.
“It was really simple. We got in the studio to work on a song and we just talked; that’s how easy it was for me. I liked him before he liked me,” she said.
