Selena Gomez 'to protect herself' with prenup before having no budget wedding with Benny Blanco: Source

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Selena Gomez is floating on cloud nine as she ushers in the New Year with her fiance, music producer Benny Blanco.

Yet, as the 'Only Murders in the Building' star plans her future as a bride, she is reportedly making a pragmatic move: discussing a prenuptial agreement.

This step isn’t surprising, especially as Gomez joins the elite billionaire club alongside her best friend, Taylor Swift, thanks to her wildly successful Rare Beauty empire.

Selena Gomez says 'I do'—but not without a prenup

While the couple is fully immersed in wedding bliss, Selena Gomez is also taking steps to safeguard her billion-dollar empire.

A source close to the actress explained, “Selena adores Benny, and she’s got zero doubt in her mind that they’ll last. She wouldn’t have said yes to his proposal otherwise.”

However, she is acutely aware of the need to “protect herself" and what she’s built.

Rare Beauty, her passion project, has catapulted her into financial superstardom and she’s understandably protective.

“It’s a business she built from scratch and is justifiably proud of,” the source added.

Blanco, who boasts an impressive $50 million net worth of his own, fully supports her decision.

“He wouldn’t dream of challenging Selena on this issue at all,” the insider revealed, highlighting the mutual respect that defines their relationship.

The engagement announcement on December 11, 2023, was nothing short of magical, sending fans into a frenzy as the couple shared their moment on Instagram.

Having secretly dated for six months before going public in December, the duo’s whirlwind romance has quickly blossomed into a love story that seems destined for the ages.

From the moment they made their relationship public, Gomez hasn’t been shy about her affection for Blanco.

Calling him the “best thing that’s ever happened to me” and “better than anyone I’ve ever been with,” Selena has openly shared her joy with fans. When a social media user questioned their connection, Selena fiercely defended her love, stating, “This is my happiest.”

Her admiration for Blanco extends beyond just romance.

In a Variety Fair profile last September, she said, “I’ve never been loved this way. He’s just been a light. A complete light in my life. He’s my best friend. I love telling him everything.”

A source revealed, “There’s no budget,” hinting at a lavish affair.

Reportedly, Blanco, ever the foodie, is "lobbying for a Taco Bell station during the cocktail hour," proving that even billionaires love a good crunchwrap supreme.

Their guest list is expected to be a star-studded spectacle, with A-listers like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Meryl Streep, and Selena’s 'Only Murders in the Building' co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short likely to attend.
