Selena Got Married: Diagnosed with Lupus, Lifelong Contraception

33-year-old actress Selena Gomez and 37-year-old music producer Benny Blanco officially announced their relationship in December 2023. On December 12th last year, Selena showed off a huge diamond ring on IG, announcing their engagement. On the 27th (U.S. time), the two held a grand wedding. Selena shared wedding photos and videos on social media, sharing the happy news of becoming a wife with the whole world.

The newlyweds held their wedding in California, both the groom and bride chose Ralph Lauren outfits, and the wedding party will last for 2 days. According to sources, "All invited guests were asked to bring overnight bags for the weekend stay." Sources added that although the wedding was small in scale, it was full of celebrities: "Although only close friends and family were invited, the friends list includes many big-name stars, including Taylor Swift, Selena’s partners from 'Only Murders in the Building', and music superstars who have worked with Benny."

Taylor Swift, who is like a sister to Selena, arrived by private jet but was tightly surrounded by a row of black umbrellas from the moment she got off the plane, so paparazzi only captured her arm. Taylor had volunteered to be a bridesmaid, but her fiancé Travis Kelce couldn’t come due to his game schedule, so she attended alone.
Selena’s love life has been turbulent. She had an eight-year on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber and also dated Taylor Lautner (who became popular for his role as a werewolf in 'Twilight'), The Weeknd, and others, but none seemed like her true love. It wasn’t until she met Benny that she was open about her relationship and loved to show off her happiness.

However, Selena’s health has not been good. As early as 2013 and 2014, she had to cancel tours due to health issues. It was only in October 2015 that she announced her condition as anxiety disorder, but in August the following year, she revealed that her physical condition was actually caused by lupus. In 2017, she underwent a kidney transplant. She had previously revealed in an interview that due to her health, she will never be able to have children, which makes her feel very sad.
