Newlywed Selena Gomez Breaks Down in Tears After Marriage to Benny Blanco

In October 2025, pop star Selena Gomez opened up about a surprising emotional struggle she faced in the days following her lavish wedding to music producer Benny Blanco. During an appearance at the Fortune Most Powerful Women conference, Gomez confessed that she broke down in tears, unable to fully savor the joyous occasion.

Gomez explained that she often expects something bad to happen whenever good things occur in her life. "When something great happens in my life, I expect something bad to happen," she said. "So instead of being present and saying, 'Okay, wow, we've done a great thing,' which I do, I'm always thinking, 'Okay, but this could all go away tomorrow, so how can I make sure that doesn't happen?'"

This mindset led Gomez to sob after her wedding, as she feared, "I'm gonna die the next day." The actress has been open about her health challenges, including her battle with lupus, which has made it impossible for her to carry children. "I unfortunately can't carry my own children," Gomez shared in a previous interview. "I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby's in jeopardy."

Despite these obstacles, Gomez remains determined to start a family, calling it a "dream I hold close." As she navigates her newfound marital bliss, the singer-actress continues to grapple with the emotional complexities of happiness and loss.
