For two of the most famous people in the world, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have been awfully low-key about their wedding. Since their engagement last December, the pair have regularly palmed off questions about their wedding plans and have spent their time recording and releasing their joint album 'I Said I Love You First', along with an accompanying zine, and Gomez is currently promoting the latest season of Only Murders in the Building.

If it wasn't for Gomez's hen do on a yacht in Cabo San Lucas in August, it would be easy to forget they were getting married at all. However it turns out (unsurprisingly given that they are rich and famous) they've managed to plan a whole wedding at the same time – and it's rumoured to be taking place at the end of the month.

If you're as interested as we are in the Gomez Blanco nuptials, here's everything we know about the wedding so far. Don't worry, as soon as it happens, we'll be sure to keep you updated.

When are Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco getting married?

Rumour has it Selena and Benny are set to walk down the aisle in late September. Of course, the exact date and timings are not publicly known, because that would be insane, but keep your eyes peeled because they could be saying 'I do' very soon.

As for what Gomez is going to wear, we're not sure yet, but the recent Cult Gaia gown she wore to the launch party of Rare Beauty's debut Eau de Parfum provided an insight into the singer's bridal style.

Where are Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco getting married?

The couple are set to tie the knot in either Montecito, home to the likes of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and Gwyneth Paltrow, or the nearby Santa Barbara. Apparently their guests don't even know the exact location, presumedly in fear of details being leaked, despite the fact invitations have already been sent out.

Instead attendees will be asked to arrive at a specific location and will then be shuttled to the ceremony elsewhere.

What has Selena Gomez said about her wedding plans?

Given that Selena has a cool 417 million followers on Instagram, there is understandably a lot of hype and anticipation around her big day. When asked how the planning is going on Jimmy Fallon last week she said, 'It's wonderful. I'm very lucky. It's going well. I'm so excited.'

The actress also revealed earlier in the year that she'd love Marty to give a speech. 'I told him he must... I feel like Marty would have an epic speech,' she said, before joking that he would probably 'pull out his banjo'.

In July, her beauty brand Rare Beauty shared an interview clip on TikTok where Selena confirms she doesn't want 'a big cake' at the reception. She said she'd rather have a 'mini one just for us that we can freeze' or 'my nana's biscuits and gravy'.

What has Benny Blanco said about their wedding plans?

Around the same time in July, Benny revealed they had not yet begun planning the wedding. Appearing on the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast, Benny said they 'both need to chill' and have 'been working so much' that they hadn't got round to it yet.

'We got engaged and then we were filming music videos for our album, then it's holidays, then right after the holidays we had to start all the promo for our stuff, do that,' the producer explained. 'Then she left to film her show Only Murders and then I met her, then we hung out for a week and then right after that it's promo, and then I'm writing another book.' However, he was quick to add, 'But we're so excited.'

Who is invited to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's wedding?

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel, Selena confirmed that her Only Murders in the Building co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin are both invited and joked that Martin is the ring bearer. He replied, 'We are all so excited because we love this lady, and we love her fiancé Bad Bunny.'

Other stars on the guest list include Selena's long-term friend Taylor Swift, who recently got engaged herself, Ed Sheeran (who let slip invitations had been sent out in May while doing Vanity Fair's lie detector test), and Paris Hilton, whose sister Nicky let the news slip while chatting to Access Hollywood on the red carpet. In other words, it's going to be a star-studded event, and the couple have reportedly had to arrange extensive security provisions as a result.
