Why SZA Thought Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Got Married

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco had SZA doing a double take.

Accompanying a set of pictures from the wedding of Lil Dicky (David Burd) and Kristin Batalucco, Selena posted on her Instagram on the 10th of August with the caption, “Reflections on last night’s wedding.

Given that the actor from “Only Murders in the Building” revealed her engagement to the music producer only recently, the “Kill Bill” artist briefly thought they might have already gotten married.

“This caption…I panicked so crazy,” SZA quipped in the comments before adding, “Yay Dave!!!”

The wedding date for the couple is scheduled eight months after Selena, who started dating Benny in the summer of 2023, publicly announced their engagement by posting pictures of herself flaunting a marquise-cut diamond ring on that finger while hugging her future husband.

And in the caption of the December 2024 Instagram post, she wrote, “Forever begins now…”

In my own words, here’s how I might rephrase that sentence from a dedicated fan’s perspective: “So, you might be wondering about the moment when Benny proposed? Well, the artist behind ‘Who Says’ has shared the story of what happened.

On a March episode of Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast, Selena, aged 33, reminisced, “I believed we had a shoot scheduled for that day.” She continued, “I had my hair and makeup done, and I was following my usual routine. As I got into the car, I found myself wondering, ‘Where are we heading?’ Since by then, I was familiar with most of the studios I visited, this unfamiliar location was starting to bother me a bit. I thought, ‘This seems quite far away?’

Upon entering, I found the room empty. I glanced at my assistant who promptly closed the door behind us.

Initially, everything appeared strange, but not for long did Selena realize that a romantic proposition lay in store for her, accompanied by her favorite treats from Taco Bell set up as a picnic.

The founder of Rare Beauty expressed that she often imagines how she would respond if asked about a particular event. She described this occasion as incredibly surreal, noting that it was exceptionally special due to the heartfelt things said and her subsequent shock. Despite the dreamlike quality, she acknowledged that it was one of the best days of her life.

Although they haven’t fixed a wedding date as of now, it’s evident that they don’t intend to hasten their walk towards the altar.

In a March interview with Rolling Stone, Benny playfully remarked that Selena seems to envision a new wedding every day in her mind. However, he emphasized that they are the kind of individuals who prefer to live day by day and are yet to fully embrace this current phase of their lives.

Back in the vibrant summer of ’23, as I eagerly celebrated my beloved Selena Gomez’s special day, none other than Benny Blanco himself spilled the beans about our favorite duo on the renowned Howard Stern Show, way back in May ’24!

In the last months of 2023, there started whispers about them having a romantic relationship. These rumors were officially validated by Selena in December when she commented on an Instagram post from a fan page, expressing her deep feelings for Benny, saying, “He is my absolute everything in my heart.

She went on to say, “He is simply extraordinary – the most wonderful thing that’s ever come my way. Even now, no one compares to him among all those I’ve known.

In a post on her Instagram Story, the founder of Rare Beauty casually leaned her head on what appeared to be the torso of Benny.

Later, Selena posted this picture on her Instagram Stories, featuring her donning a bedazzled ring with the letter ‘B’.
