Ed Sheeran Confirms He’s Invited to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s Wedding
Hold the confetti, folks—apparently Ed Sheeran has been guarding the one nugget of wedding intel we really needed: whether he snagged an invite to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s big day. In Vanity Fair’s recent “Lie Detector Test,” the “Bad Habits” hitmaker, 34, delivered the goods. When asked bluntly if he’d received a wedding invitation, Sheeran’s lips curled into a coy “Mm-hmm,” sealing his spot on the guest list. He then reminded us that Blanco—his studio partner on tracks like “I Don’t Care”—returned the favor by attending Sheeran’s own hush-hush 2018 wedding to Cherry Seaborn (Vanity Fair, People Magazine).
Before you get too excited about cake flavors or hashtag ideas, let’s pinch ourselves back to reality: Blanco and Gomez aren’t exactly deep into planning. The couple, engaged on Dec. 11—yes, just before everyone else’s holiday schedules—admitted on the April 30 episode of the Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware podcast that they’ve barely crossed “venue” off their to-do list. Their one iron-clad request? Authentic challah from Jewish chef and author Jake Cohen, because apparently no wedding feast is complete without artfully braided bread (People Magazine).
Of course, they’re skipping tradition—no cringe-inducing first dance for these lovebirds. Instead, Gomez, 32, whispered that she’s “shy,” and offered up a “special dance” with her maternal grandfather, to make up for the party her family missed when her mom tied the knot. Adorable, if you’re into it.
And just when you thought romance had peaked, Blanco spilled the tea on their “embarrassing” first kiss. It went down on date two during a round of We’re Not Really Strangers. After Gomez climbed onto his chest for a selfie, Blanco supposedly blurted, “I got to kiss this girl,” and leaned in. Cue heart-racing, face-rash chaos—Selena reportedly froze, mumbling “No, no, I’m fine” before admitting later that she hadn’t liked anyone in ages, so this was actually a Big Deal. Lovely to know even global superstars can’t escape awkward smooches.
So there you have it—edibles, shy spins, and awkward kisses, all laid bare. Nothing earth-shattering here, just your typical A-list nuptial blueprint. And that’s today’s dose of reality. You’re welcome.
