Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco appear poised to tie the knot within a matter of weeks, especially after Gomez was spotted letting loose in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, for a rumored bachelorette party last month.

For the sunny getaway, Gomez, 33, was joined on a yacht by longtime friends, including country star Ashley Cook, producer Raquelle Stevens and actress Courtney Lopez – though her best friend Taylor Swift was notably missing. 

Swift announced her own engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce soon after.

Back from Cabo, Gomez is said to be in full planning mode, preparing to marry music producer Blanco, 37, who celebrated his bachelor party at a Las Vegas spa with a retinue of pals.

But as the big day approaches, an insider tells the Daily Mail that Gomez may be doing a lot of the prepping solo…

Gomez and her husband-to-be Benny Blanco announced their engagement in December 2024 after a year and a half of dating

Blanco has told his bride-to-be ‘that this is her wedding first, and their wedding second,’ according to our inside source.

Blanco is ‘ecstatic that at the end of that day she will be his bride’, the insider added. But while he is ‘forever grateful’ that Gomez is marrying him, ‘he has told her that he wants her to make most of the decisions.’

It has meant that the planning process ‘wasn’t smooth sailing at first’, in part because of the couple’s shared tendency to procrastinate. But with Blanco in particular, some friends have accused him of being a ‘bit lazy.’ 

It might seem a ‘nice gesture’ that Gomez is able to ‘do whatever she wants for the wedding,’ but it has led to some strife, our insider said, as the singer ‘feels [Blanco] could step up and make some decisions.’

Their relationship isn’t struggling, but their inner circle is very much aware that the dynamic ‘won’t change in the years to come and could end up being one of the quirks’ in their marriage. 

Despite any issues, the insider confirmed that it’s ‘smooth sailing now, because everything has been paid for and figured out.’

Blanco popped the question with a massive diamond engagement ring worth an estimated $1 million

Gomez and Blanco confirmed their relationship in December 2023 when they surprised fans by revealing that they had already been dating for six months

A separate source previously revealed to the Daily Mail that the pair have been slow to plan their nuptials after Blanco admitted that they had ‘both been working so much’.

The same source said the couple were planning a two-day event in Montecito, California.

With a September date set, it is understood that close friends and family have been invited. 

We can expect to see Gomez’s cast members from her hit Hulu show Only Murders in the Building, who include model Cara Delevingne, Martin Short and Steve Martin, the source said.

Gomez and Blanco started dating in the summer of 2023.

The following December, Blanco popped the question with a giant diamond engagement ring worth an estimated $1 million.

The Daily Mail has contacted both Gomez and Blanco for comment.
