Benny Blanco disclosed certain pre-ceremony events relating to his marriage to Selena Gomez during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday, February 26, 2026. Blanco stated that his spouse, aged 33, experienced emotional distress due to the temporary misplacement of handwritten wedding vows prior to their wedding ceremony, which took place in September 2025. According to Blanco, the documents were located after a period of approximately four to five days, and he personally returned them to Gomez immediately prior to the ceremony, without reviewing their content.
Blanco further described his actions as having mitigated the potential disruption caused by the missing vows, emphasizing the positive reception he received from Gomez upon their recovery. The wedding ceremony occurred on a private 70-acre estate north of Santa Barbara, with the bride wearing a custom backless halter gown by Ralph Lauren and the groom in a custom black tuxedo also by Ralph Lauren. The event included notable attendees, including Taylor Swift, Martin Short, and Steve Martin.
During the interview, Blanco also addressed public commentary regarding the cleanliness of his feet, which had been noted by viewers during the pilot episode of his podcast, Friends Keep Secrets, co-hosted with Lil Dicky, and his wife Kristin Batalucco. Blanco asserted that any perceived lack of hygiene was attributable to environmental conditions at the recording location, not personal negligence. He demonstrated, on-camera, that his feet were in fact clean.
The remarks made by Blanco respond to social media commentary characterizing the condition of his feet as objectionable, some of which included calls for Gomez to dissolve the marriage. Blanco’s clarification was delivered in a public forum to address these claims directly.#newsafro_
