It might not be spring break, but Selena Gomez is still living it up in the sun.
The 33-year-old seemingly celebrated her bachelorette in Mexico amid her engagement to Benny Blanco, jetting off to Cabo San Lucas with friends over the weekend of August 23.
While down south, Selena and her friends enjoyed a day aboard a luxury yacht, as seen in photos published by People, where they danced, posed for selfies and shared much laughter together.
For the occasion, Selena kept this chic yet casual in a strapless black one-piece bathing suit. She styled the look with a pair of knit white pants and stylish black sunglasses as the group continued the celebrations with a walk around town.
But while the Spring Breakers star soaked up the sun, she wasn’t keeping the festivities to herself. For his part, Benny also enjoyed his own time away, celebrating what appeared to be his bachelor party in Las Vegas.
Sharing a string of images to his Instagram Story, the producer celebrated his impending nuptials with a relaxing spa day—which, per People, he described as “the most healing place on earth”—and, of course, a string of celebratory meals.
Not only did the foodie share a snap of himself eating caviar, but he also showed off the remnants of an epic brunch, one that included a box of bagels from Sadelle’s.
Tagging Resorts World Las Vegas, Benny wrote over the image, “I’ll never forget this weekend.”
Though the apparent celebrations of their bachelor and bachelorette parties would imply the couple are close to tying the knot, Benny and Selena have kept any details around their wedding close to the chest.
In fact, it was only recently that Selena confirmed she and Benny hadn’t even started planning yet.
“We’re both working on so many things that we haven’t even had time to get into it,” the Only Murders in the Building star explained on the July 9 episode of Jake Shane’s Therapuss podcast. “But we’re so excited. I think this summer we’re gonna sit down and be like, ‘OK, what are we doing?'”
Instead, the pair are happily basking in engagement bliss after Benny proposed in October. And, they’re not rushing into solidifying any details.
As Benny revealed of his fiancée back in March, “I think every day she’s planned a new wedding in her head.”
“We’re very much ‘take it one day at a time’-type of people,” he further explained to Rolling Stone. “We’re still not over this moment.”
For more on the few details Benny and Selena have revealed so far, keep reading.
The Wedding Date
Haven’t received your invitation to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco‘s wedding yet? Baby, calm down, calm down.
While Ed Sheeran suggested in a May lie detector test for Vanity Fair that he’d already been invited, Benny has insisted he and Selena haven’t finalized a date.
“I was like, ‘I’m going to have a wedding, and you’re going to come to the wedding,'” Benny explained in a June interview for Australia’s Today show. “I guess literally newspapers take things out of context and stuff. Eventually Ed will come to our wedding when we do have one, but unfortunately, we have not scheduled one yet—but we will.”
And who says the couple needs to get married right away?
“I think every day she’s planned a new wedding in her head,” Benny added in a March interview with Rolling Stone. “We’re very much ‘take it one day at a time’-type of people. We’re still not over this moment.”
The Star-Studded Guest List
Ed won’t be the only celebrity on the guest list. And you probably don’t need to go round and round trying to guess who else Selena and Benny will invite.
After the pair announced their engagement in December 2024, Taylor Swift offered her services.
“Yes,” the 14-time Grammy winner and Selena’s longtime pal wrote on Instagram, “I will be the flower girl.”
The Speeches
Of course, we can’t forget about Steve Martin and Martin Short.
When Drew Barrymore suggested that Selena’s Only Murders in the Building costars officiate the ceremony, the bride-to-be replied, “Oh my gosh! I haven’t even thought about that.”
However, she had given some thought to other potential roles.
“Marty is due to give a speech,” Selena continued on the April episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. “I told him he must. Steve will probably pull out his banjo, but I feel like Marty would have an epic speech.”
The Music
While fans already know Selena and Benny love each other like a love song, they might be wondering what actual tracks the two will play on their big day. And given the singer and the music producer’s careers, it’s no surprise they’re making the tunes a priority.
“We’re definitely not planning exactly at this moment, but we do want to make sure that the music’s good,” Selena shared on a March episode of The Tonight Show. “And I’m gonna let that be his job.”
The Cake
When it comes to dessert, the actress doesn’t have that same old love for a multi-tiered cake.
“Whenever that day comes, I do know I don’t want a big cake,” Selena said in a July TikTok video for her brand Rare Beauty. “I think I’d want a mini one for just us that we can freeze.”
Instead, she’d rather serve a different option and tell her guests, when you’re ready, come and get it.
“My preferred dessert would be biscuits and gravy,” Selena continued. “My nana’s biscuits and gravy, that sounds like dessert to me.”
The First Dance
A first dance is hardly a rare tradition, but it’s one Selena seems comfortable skipping.
“I don’t think we’re looking at having one of those,” the Wizards of Waverly Place alum said on an April episode of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware. “Cause they’re a little…”
When Benny noted Selena gets shy, she acknowledged, “I feel embarrassed.”
But that doesn’t mean the Emilia Pérez star will stay completely off the dance floor. In fact, she said she’d like to “have a special dance with my papa.”
“He’s my mom’s father,” Selena said, referencing mother MandyTeefey, who eloped with Brian Teefey in 2006. “He never got a chance to walk my mom down the aisle because, good for my mom, she decided to go to Vegas and be like, ‘Whooo’ and she’s still been with him ever since they were 26. So it’s very cute that they did that, but I wanted to give him an opportunity.”
