Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Celebrate with a Rehearsal Dinner in California

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco hosted a glamorous rehearsal dinner at a luxurious mansion in Hope Ranch, California, on Friday evening. The event was attended by close friends, family, and celebrities, including Gomez’s co-stars from Only Murders in the Building.

Steve Martin, dressed sharply in a suit, was photographed arriving at the estate, engaging in lively conversations and laughter with fellow co-star Paul Rudd. Martin Short, who was also present, arrived without Meryl Streep amid rumors of their romantic connection, due to her unexpected withdrawal from the wedding weekend.

Although Taylor Swift, a close friend of Gomez, was not seen at the event, she had been spotted earlier in the day departing from Santa Barbara, California, hinting at her presence nearby. It was reported that Swift is staying in a rental home for security reasons during the wedding weekend.

The couple is expected to exchange vows on Saturday in a private ceremony at a Santa Barbara estate. Their guests will stay at the nearby El Encanto hotel, where rooms are being reserved exclusively for the weekend, with transportation arranged to keep the location secret.

Gomez celebrated her upcoming wedding with a bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, featuring a yacht cruise with close friends. She shared photos of her elegant outfit—a pearl halter dress with a “bride to be” veil—highlighting her joyful pre-wedding moments.

Blanco proposed to Gomez in December 2023 after more than a year of dating. She publicly announced their engagement with a carousel of photos showcasing her stunning diamond ring. Gomez confirmed their relationship in December, describing her new chapter as “forever begins now.”
