Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco seem likely to get married in just a few weeks, especially after Gomez was seen enjoying a bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, last month.
During the sunny vacation, the 33-year-old Gomez was accompanied by her longtime friends on a yacht, including country star Ashley Cook, producer Raquelle Stevens, and actress Courtney Lopez – though her best friend Taylor Swift was noticeably absent.
Swift announced her own engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce soon after.
After returning from Cabo, Gomez is reportedly in full preparation mode for her wedding to the 37-year-old music producer Blanco, who celebrated his bachelor party at a Las Vegas spa with a group of friends.
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” about marrying Gomez and has expressed that he is “forever grateful” she’s marrying him, but he wants her to make most of the wedding decisions.
This arrangement initially made the planning process challenging, partly due to the couple’s shared tendency to procrastinate, with some friends specifically noting Blanco’s reputation for being a “bit lazy.”
While it may appear as a “nice gesture” for Gomez to have free rein over the wedding, it has reportedly caused tension, as she feels Blanco could contribute more to the decision-making process.
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.’

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.
