Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are reportedly increasing security measures for their upcoming wedding after details of the private event — including the date, venue, and guest list — were leaked earlier this month.

According to Daily Mail insiders, the pop singer-actress’ primary concern is the safety and privacy of her high-profile guests. One source also emphasized the scale of the challenge:

“Security for Selena’s wedding will be of the utmost importance because not only is she a public figure, many of the guests will be too.”

Selena Gomez is reportedly considering a no-phone policy during the ceremony to help protect both guests’ privacy and the intimate nature of the celebration. The insider went on:

“She is going back and forth on whether or not to allow people to have their phones as an extra measure of security and privacy, along with the fact that she wants everyone to be present.”

With the wedding only two months away, another source reported that changing plans is no longer an option despite frustrations over the unwarranted disclosure.

“If it wasn’t just two months away they’d think about changing the celebrations, but that’s an impossible task and they don’t want to delay the wedding and find a new location. Instead, they’re doubling up on security to make the event as private as possible.”

The couple is said to be holding a two-day celebration in Montecito this September. Invitations have already been sent to close friends and family. Another source added:

“Everyone invited has been asked to bring overnight bags to stay for the weekend.”

A-list affair: Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, more eyed for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s September wedding

Though billed as an intimate affair, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's wedding guest list reportedly includes big names like Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, and several of the couple’s industry peers.

“Although it’s for friends and family only, many on the friends list are huge celebrities, including Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Selena’s co-stars from ‘Only Murders In The Building,’ and music superstars who are Benny’s friends and some he’s also worked with.”

The September date was reportedly selected to align with Selena Gomez’s busy schedule, including the Season 5 premiere of Only Murders in the Building, which debuts on September 9.

As for Taylor Swift’s availability, another insider claimed the event isn’t scheduled around her calendar, though Selena Gomez is hopeful her longtime friend will make it. The insider stated:

“Selena is not having her wedding to accommodate Taylor, but she wants her to attend and she would love for her to be able to go with Travis.”

Benny Blanco briefly commented on wedding plans during a July 10 appearance on the Therapuss podcast.

“We’re both working on so many things that we hadn’t even had time to get into it, but we’re so excited. I think this summer, we’re going to sit down and be like, ‘OK, what are we doing?’”

The couple announced their engagement in December 2024 after more than a year of dating.
