Selena Gomez Reveals Why She Was “Sobbing” After Marrying Benny Blanco

It can hard for Selena Gomez to enjoy life’s happy moments.

Selena Gomez, known for openly discussing mental health, revealed she was surprised by her own feelings when she married Benny Blanco, explaining that worries often affect how she thinks.

Selena shared at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women conference on October 15th that she cried after her wedding, joking that she felt like she was going to die the next day.

The founder of Rare Beauty shared that she often anticipates a negative event following a positive one, almost as if she expects good things to be balanced out by something bad.

I often find myself quickly shifting from appreciating a success to worrying about how to maintain it. I’ll think, ‘This is great, but what if it doesn’t last?’ and get caught up in preventing potential problems instead of simply enjoying the moment. That’s a really common struggle for me, especially when good things happen.

Selena and Benny got married on September 27th in California, surrounded by family and friends. Shortly after, Selena, known for her role in *Wizards of Waverly Place*, shared the happy news with her fans, calling their wedding a “joyful moment.”

I’m entering such a wonderful time in my life, and I immediately think of all of you – my amazing friends. You’ve been there for everything, through all the ups and downs, and every step of the way. From when I first started performing to all the music we’ve shared, and now as I begin this new chapter, your love and support have meant the world to me. I honestly can’t thank you enough.

Selena has recently shared her optimism about the future, including the possibility of starting a family with Benny. While she’s mentioned health concerns that would prevent her from carrying a pregnancy herself, she remains hopeful about expanding their family.

Selena Gomez, referencing her Disney Channel character Alex Russo, shared on Instagram October 9th that she imagines becoming a mother someday. She posted a clip from the *Wizards Beyond Waverly Place* sequel series and wrote, ‘Alex Russo is a mommy. Hopefully one day that’ll be me.’
