Selena Gomez Marries Benny Blanco in Private Montecito Ceremony Amid Family Rift

Selena Gomez, 33, chose her maternal grandfather David Cornett to walk her down the aisle at her wedding to music producer Benny Blanco, a decision that reportedly left her mother, Mandy Teefey, and stepfather Brian "shattered". Gomez's choice to have her grandfather give her away was made early during wedding planning and brought tears of joy to David and his wife Debbie. The wedding, attended by around 300 guests including Taylor Swift, Martin Short, Paul Rudd, and Steve Martin, is held in a secret location in Montecito, California, with a weekend-long celebration overseen by party planner Mindy Weiss. Guests, excluding Swift who is staying separately for security, are kept in suspense about the wedding location, adding to the event's exclusivity and mystery. Mandy Teefey, who raised Gomez as a single mother through many sacrifices, was reportedly devastated by the decision, highlighting a family rift on Gomez's special day. The wedding festivities also include an afterparty hosted by Snoop Dogg, with close friends and celebrity co-stars present to celebrate the occasion.
