Meryl Streep Skips Selena Gomez Benny Blanco Santa Barbara Wedding

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco were married on September 27, 2025, in a star-studded wedding in Santa Barbara, California, attended by over 170 guests including Taylor Swift, Steve Martin, Paris Hilton, and Martin Short. Despite being invited and initially planning to attend, Meryl Streep was unable to make it to the wedding due to her filming commitments for the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada in Milan and New York City. The wedding was kept highly secretive, with guests unaware of the exact locations for events and transported via shuttles. Gomez and Blanco, who got engaged in December 2024, had a grand celebration planned by Mindy Weiss, emphasizing privacy and exclusivity for the weekend’s festivities. Streep’s absence was notable due to her co-starring role with Gomez in Only Murders in the Building and her reported personal connection to Martin Short. Neither Gomez nor Streep have publicly commented on Streep’s absence, but sources confirm it was a last-minute change.
