Selena Gomez Marries Benny Blanco in Star-Studded California Celebration; Mother Mandy Teefey Shares Heartwarming Tribute
Selena Gomez, 33, tied the knot with her fiancé of nine months, Benny Blanco, 37, in a weekend-long wedding celebration in California, marking a joyous milestone for the couple. Amid swirling reports that Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, 49, felt “shattered” at not being asked to walk her daughter down the aisle, Teefey has now opened up about the heartfelt choice behind the moment.
In a recent Instagram post, Teefey revealed that Gomez chose her grandfather, David Cornett—Teefey’s father—to escort her down the aisle, rather than Teefey herself, her father Ricardo Gomez, or her stepfather Brian Teefey.
Reposting Gomez’s wedding announcement, Teefey wrote: “What a perfect celebration for the most kick-ass couple I know! The evening couldn’t have been more beautiful and perfect! Absolutely flawless!” She added, “All my love to my beautiful daughter @selenagomez and to the greatest son-in-law @itsbennyblanco!!! It was a fairytale come true. It was beyond heartwarming watching my father walk her down the aisle!!!”
Gomez, whose parents divorced when she was five, was raised by her mother and maternal grandparents, making her grandfather a central figure in her life.
The couple, who have known each other for more than a decade, began dating in 2023 and announced their engagement last December. They officially became husband and wife on Saturday, September 27, celebrating their union with family and friends.
