Selena Gomez’s journey to the altar with her fiancé, Benny Blanco, reportedly hit a few bumps along the way.
The singer, 33, who got engaged to Benny, 37, last December, is said to have taken on the lion’s share of the wedding preparations, leading to some initial tension.
The couple’s wedding is rumoured to be a two-day event in Montecito, California, this month, with a guest list that may include stars like Taylor Swift, Steve Martin, and Martin Short.
According to Daily Mail, the initial planning process “wasn’t smooth sailing” for the couple.
The music director reportedly told the Single Soon crooner to make “most” of the decisions for the big day, a move the source suggests was intended as a “nice gesture,” but ultimately left Selena feeling like her fiancé “could step up and make some decisions” himself.
The source noted that Benny is “ecstatic” about marrying Selena and is “forever grateful” she’s walking down the aisle with him.
However, they also suggested that both he and Selena have a shared tendency to procrastinate, with friends even accusing Benny of being a “bit lazy.”
This dynamic, where he puts her “first and foremost” and their relationship “secondly” in the planning process, created some early hurdles.
Despite the initial challenges, the source assured that the relationship is not in trouble.
They added that the couple’s inner circle believes this particular dynamic “won’t change” and could even become a “quirk” in their marriage.
The good news is that everything is “smooth sailing now, because everything has been paid for and figured out,” the source concluded.
The news comes after Selena shared a series of loving photos on Instagram, showing the couple enjoying “Lake life” with loved ones.
