Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran confirmed a big detail from Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's upcoming wedding. Selena and Benny got engaged in December 2024 after months of dating and going public with their relationship. Amid growing curiosity over Selena and Benny's wedding, Ed Sheeran took on Vanity Fair's "Lie Detector Test" series. He revealed that he has made the guest list for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's upcoming wedding. When he was asked if he had received an invite, Sheeran said, "Mm-hmm." He went on to confirm that Blanco, with whom he has collaborated on several songs, attended his intimate wedding to wife Cherry Seaborn in 2018, as per People. Talking about the wedding, Benny shared an update on wedding planning while appearing on the April 30 episode of the Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware podcast. He said that he and Selena were yet to make much headway. "We haven't figured out anything in our wedding yet," he said, before revealing that one must-have for their big day. "The only thing I've said straight up, as a part of the food, is that I want [Jewish cook and food writer] Jake [Cohen] to do the challah," the music producer said. 'That's all I care about. He makes the best challah I've ever had,' he also added. Meanwhile, Selena Gomez elsewhere said that she and Benny will be skipping a popular wedding tradition, the first dance. Blanco said that they decided on it because the Rare Beauty owner is 'shy.' However, she is open to doing a "special dance" with her maternal grandfather. She decided on it to give her grandfather the best experience of being a part of the wedding that he missed out on when the singer's mom got married, reported People. In the same podcast, Blanco also shared deets about his first "embarrassing" kiss with Selena. 'We were hanging on our second date, towards the end of the date, we were sitting in the living room on the couch, and we were playing 'We're Not Really Strangers,' ' he said. 'And there was a thing where it said, 'Take a selfie with the person next to you,' and we were already kind of lounging and she got right on my chest and took a selfie and then right after I just looked at her and I said, 'I got to kiss this girl,'. And I kissed her right away," he added.

She got on my chest to take the photo and right after, I said, 'I got to kiss this girl.' And I kissed her right away.' Gomez, 32, described the moment as both exciting and embarrassing. 'It was a very good kiss,' she said, before revealing how her nerves showed physically. Blanco added, 'Right away, her heart started beating quickly, she started getting a rash on her face and she was so nervous.'

Nerves Caused Selena Gomez To Do This With Benny Blanco When They First Started Dating, And People Can't Decide If It's Sweet Or Kinda Creepy
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are sharing their love story with the world, and now they're giving a little insight into their relationship when their romance first began. The couple, who recently released a collaborative album together called I Said I Love You First, were guests on the Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware podcast, where they dished about their first kiss, first date jitters, and more. In the middle of the conversation, the famed producer shared an innocent tidbit about what Selena would do before their dates, and how she had no idea that he could see her doing it. 'Selena's so insane that when we first started going out on dates, she was so obsessed with being on time,' Benny said. 'She used to pull up to my house, minimum 20 minutes early, maybe 30 minutes early, and she would wait outside." "But she didn't realize that my cameras could see down the street, and her car would just be parked outside for like 30 minutes, and she would just wait until it was time to come in.' Selena admitted they've never told that story out loud, at least not with the media. And although she can laugh about it now, at the time, she revealed she was extremely nervous. 'It's just, I don't know," Selena added. "I was nervous that I really liked him and I wanted to get there and, like, maybe call a friend to pump me up or do my makeup again or something.' But despite having a wonderful time on the date, Selena still couldn't shake her nerves. And even if she did attempt to hide it, unfortunately, the emotion showed all over her face. 'Towards the end of the date, we were just sitting in the living room on the couch and we were playing We're Not Really Strangers,' Benny continued. 'And there was a thing where it said, 'Take a selfie with the person next to you,' and she got right on my chest and took a selfie. And then right after, I just looked at her and I said, 'I gotta kiss this girl.' I kissed her right away, and her heart started beating so quickly, and she started getting a rash on her face…she was so nervous.' "So some kisses are for fun, and then when you feel something behind a kiss, it's completely different.' She continued, 'And I'd been alone for about five years, with the exception of a few shitty dates here and there, but never felt that way. And I was a little embarrassed.'

Benny Blanco reveals ‘nervous' Selena Gomez's reaction to their first memorable kiss; ‘I was so disgusting and…'
Music producer Benny Blanco disclosed reaction of Selena Gomez during their first kiss, stating that she felt so 'nervous'. Appearing with Gomez for an episode of Jessie and Lennie Ware's podcast, 'Table Manners,' Benny said, 'We were just sitting in the living room on the couch and we were playing [the card game] 'We're Not Really Strangers.'' According to him, Gomez positioned herself directly on his chest and snapped a picture while reading a thing which said, 'Take a selfie with the person next to you.' He further mentioned that he knew he simply needed to kiss his future fiancée at that very moment. As soon as he kissed her, Gomez developed a rash on her face and her heart began to beat rapidly, Blanco, 37, said. In response to Lennie's question about if Gomez was 'allergic' to Blanco, he joked, "She was, yeah. I was so disgusting and repulsive.' The singer, 32, instantly intervened to say that she hadn't 'liked anyone in a very long time,' which was the reason she was frightened.

And I was a little embarrassed.' The couple didn't begin dating until June 2023, after having been acquaintances for years. They confirmed their relationship on social media six months later. Blanco proposed her with a gorgeous marquise diamond exactly a year after making their love public, referencing the words of their 2015 hit song 'Good For You,' one of their first musical collaborations. Blanco prepared the incredibly unique and unusual piece—a marquise center stone set in a cathedral setting with an immense brilliant-cut eternity band for Gomez. For the ring, he collaborated with the jewelry designers Katherine Theofilos Claster and Stephanie Theofilos, who created Abril Barret.
