Selena Gomez – Benny Blanco’s wedding was not peaceful when there were noises and dramas on the sidelines.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco officially became husband and wife in a lavish wedding that took place on September 27 (US time). The private, cozy wedding was surrounded by family and many A-list stars, but there was also drama.

The media reported that the singer’s mother, Mandy Teefey, felt that she and her husband were being rejected. Accordingly, they were not included in the wedding plan of their daughter. Instead of letting her biological mother, who had raised her alone since childhood, walk her down the aisle to give her hand to the groom, Selena Gomez chose her grandfather to perform this sacred ceremony with her.

Now, the drama has had a “twist” when Mandy Teefey herself spoke up. Selena Gomez’s mother shared her daughter’s wedding photos and said: “What a perfect wedding for the most amazing couple I know! The evening couldn’t have been more amazing and perfect! Perfect in every detail! Sending all my love to my beautiful daughter Selena and the most amazing groom Benny.” She concluded: “It was a fairy tale come true and it was heartwarming to see my dad walk her down the aisle!”

… drama of being rejected by daughter at wedding

Thus, Mrs. Mandy Teefey has dispelled the suspicion that her daughter rejected her at the wedding. She was completely happy when Selena Gomez was led down the aisle by her grandfather, and there was no sadness or jealousy as reported by the media.

Mandy Teefey gave birth to Selena Gomez when she was only 16 years old, then divorced Ricardo Joel, so the relationship between Selena and her biological father is not lost. The former Disney princess once shared that her biological father “had no opinion” about her entering showbiz, so it was her and her mother’s own journey. Selena Gomez is much closer and more attached to her stepfather, Brian Teefey.

She is also very close to her grandparents David and Debbie. In 2023, the singer revealed that she is living with her grandparents in her Encino mansion. Selena Gomez happily shared that they always cook together and always have leftovers, she does not mind eating leftovers from the day before. Choosing her grandfather to walk her down the aisle was Selena Gomez’s decision since receiving the proposal. Her grandparents were so happy that they cried when they heard her proposal.

The female singer is very close and affectionate with her grandparents.

After many days of waiting, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco finally said their vows at Sea Crest Arboretum – a private 70-acre estate (more than 28 hectares), planted with many green trees, located on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the city of Santa Barbara. The couple exchanged their vows in front of 170 people, including close family and friends. The ceremony was decorated with minimalist, including the letters “S” – “B” and dried flowers – symbolizing the love, purity and commitment of Selena Gomez – Benny Blanco.

According to Page Six, Selena Gomez’s wedding started at 3pm on September 27 (US time). It was not until the last minute that the guests learned about the venue of the big day and were brought there by Selena’s team. Security forces were mobilized, and guests were forbidden from leaking photos. It is known that the couple had to spend up to 300,000 USD (7.9 billion VND) to ensure the safety and privacy of guests. Guests will be arranged to stay at the El Encanto hotel during the wedding. Luxury room rates are up to 3,500 USD (92 million VND)/night.

After that, the bride Selena Gomez herself also shared a series of affectionate photos and videos with her groom on the big day on Instagram for global fans to join in the fun.
