During her panel at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women conference in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday (Oct. 15), the singer-actress opened up about her irrational fears that she’ll lose everything she’s ever worked for — from her relationship with Benny Blanco, whom she married in September, to her billion-dollar Rare Beauty empire.
“This is how I work personally, but something great happens in my life, I expect something bad to happen,” Gomez told the audience. “So instead of being present and saying, ‘OK, wow, we’ve done a great thing,’ which I do, I’m always thinking, ‘OK, but this could all go away tomorrow. How can I make sure that doesn’t happen?’”
“I would say that’s my biggest conflict sometimes when wonderful things happen,” she continued. “I got married and then I was sobbing, because I was like, ‘I’m gonna die the next day.’”
Despite Gomez’s anxious thinking, she and Blanco are happy and healthy following their big day, which was attended by Taylor Swift and several other famous friends. Shortly after the wedding, the producer shared photos of the Only Murders in the Building star and wrote, “i married a real life disney princess.”
Forbes also recently assessed Rare Beauty as it enters five years of existence and determined that the company is doing better than ever. This past August was reportedly the company’s best performing month of 2025 and delivered double-digit year-over-year growth.
