American producer and hitmaker Benny Blanco, 37, just pulled off the best move by exchanging vows with singer-songwriter and Rare Beauty co-founder Selena Gomez, 33, at a private estate in Santa Barbara in a ceremony that was heavy on style, light on spectacle, and packed with A-listers—from Taylor Swift to the Only Murders in the Building cast.
Sure, Gomez wore a custom Ralph Lauren gown and has shut down the internet with her old-Hollywood glam in the wedding pictures. Blanco with his tailored black tux, a perfectly measured grin and a wristwatch that fans and men's style enthusiasts curious.
Though they only began dating publicly in late 2023, Gomez and Blanco have a creative history that stretches back nearly a decade. He produced some of her most iconic hits, including Same Old Love and Kill Em with Kindness in 2015, Trust Nobody in 2016, and the 2019 collaboration I Can’t Get Enough. In 2023, he worked on her single Single Soon, and earlier this year, the two released a joint album titled I Said I Love You First followed by a deluxe edition, I Said I Love You First... and You Said It Back.
Their professional harmony eventually sparked something deeper, and by December 2024, the couple was engaged. Nearly a year later, on Sunday, September 28, they said “I do” surrounded by 170 close friends and family.

The wedding day was every bit as thoughtful and stylish as you'd expect from the duo. Elegant white florals, soft candlelight, and vintage Hollywood touches set the scene. Selena wore a hand-draped halter-neck satin gown by Ralph Lauren, styled by Erin Walsh, with Tiffany & Co. diamond earrings and her signature sleek bob. The day was captured in glowing detail by her longtime friend and photographer, Petra Collins.
But while the bride’s look is already defining bridal trends for next season, it was Benny Blanco’s understated yet incredibly personal style anchored by a rare Jacob & Co. Tennis Watch that deserves its own moment in the spotlight.
In a laid-back photo dump captioned “I married a real-life Disney princess,” Blanco shared a handful of candid, behind-the-scenes shots from the wedding including a few that made even the most jaded followers hit “save.” In one of the pictures that highlighted their rings, Benny Blanco was seen rocking a Jacob & Co. Tennis Watch, a masterpiece that blurs the line between jewellery and horology and a diamond crusted bracelet on his wrist.
One Of A Kind Watch
The Jacob & Co. Ashoka Boutique watch worn by Benny Blanco features an 18-karat white gold case and bracelet, both fully adorned with meticulously hand-set Ashoka-cut diamonds. A full-on diamond crusted wristwatch seamlessly integrated with a tennis bracelet, featuring Ashoka-cut white diamonds—a rare, elongated cut known for its exceptional brilliance and clarity.
Each diamond is hand-set, creating an unbroken, dazzling stream of sparkle that elevates the entire look. The watch face itself is understated, almost hidden beneath the torrent of diamonds with the two blue coloured hour and minute hands. The watch features an 18K white gold case, entirely paved with meticulously hand-set Ashoka diamonds. The dial continues this opulent theme, maintaining legibility without sacrificing sparkle. Its five-row tennis bracelet, also set with Ashoka diamonds, creates a seamless stream of glittering stones that wraps elegantly around the wrist.
This exquisite timepiece is powered by the Caliber JCGQ01 quartz movement, offering precise timekeeping with a power reserve of approximately two years. The watch includes simple hour and minute functions displayed beneath an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, enhancing durability and clarity.
Measuring approximately 15 cm in length, the bracelet is crafted from 18-karat white gold, and the watch is water-resistant up to 30 meters (3 ATM). Its gem setting comprises 22 round-cut rubies totaling roughly 17.49 carats and 170 baguette-cut white diamonds amounting to approximately 20.09 carats, covering the case, dial, and five-row bracelet. This piece is classified as a Pièce Unique, meaning it is a one-of-a-kind, bespoke creation.
So, if Blanco’s diamond-laced Jacob & Co. timepiece said anything, it’s this: timing is everything.
Forever starts now. Here’s to the couple!
