Watch Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Celebrate Their First Christmas As a Married Couple With an Adorable Tree Trimming Video
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have been together for more than two years, but on Thursday (Dec. 4) the couple celebrated a major milestone: their first Christmas as a married couple. The singer and producer/songwriter, who got married on Sept. 27, posted a series of cute photos and videos on Instagram in which they trim their Christmas tree and share a sweet kiss in between hanging ornaments.
“Our first Christmas as a married couple,” Gomez, 33, wrote in the post. In the first, time lapse video, they are sitting on the floor picking out ornaments, with Gomez dressed in a grey holiday sweater and white short shorts and Blanco, 37, rocking a brown-on-brown ensemble as they busily get ready and take time out for a quick kiss. The rest of the photos and videos chronicle their holiday cheer, concluding with a tender image in which Blanco is bent over putting a bit of bling on a lower branch as Gomez gently places her hand on his signature head of curly hair.
The couple got married in an intimate ceremony at Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara, Calif. in September. And though they looked happy and relaxed, a few weeks later, during her panel at Fortune magazine’s Most Powerful Women conference in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 15, the Only Murders In the Building star admitted to having irrational fears that she could lose everything she’s worked for, including her relationship with Blanco.
“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?’”
She added, “I would say that’s my biggest conflict sometimes when wonderful things happen. I got married and then I was sobbing, because I was like, ‘I’m gonna die the next day.’”
