Selena Gomez is gearing up to marry Benny Blanco, and her close friend Jennifer Aniston has stepped in to offer invaluable guidance. Sharing a bond that began when they first met in a Vanity Fair event bathroom, Jennifer and Selena have grown closer over the years, with Jennifer often referring to Selena as her "younger sister."
Jennifer, 55, is reportedly playing a pivotal role in the wedding preparations. According to an insider from In Touch, she's "front and center" in the planning alongside Selena's other celebrity friends, including Taylor Swift, Meryl Streep, Cara Delevingne, and Ariana Grande. "Jennifer treats Selena like a younger sister," the source shared. "She's already sent flowers and a card offering to help however she can. Having planned a couple of weddings herself, she knows the ins and outs of the process and has plenty of advice to share."
Selena, 32, appreciates Jennifer's support, particularly since planning a celebrity wedding brings unique challenges. "It's hard enough planning a wedding, but a celebrity one is on a different level, so any help she can get will be appreciated," the insider added.
The upcoming nuptials promise an "incredible number of celebrity guests" given Selena and Benny's deep ties to the entertainment industry. Benny, 36, has worked with numerous prominent figures during his decade-long career.
The couple's love story, which began over a year ago, has captivated fans. Selena announced their engagement on Instagram in December with a heartfelt post featuring her dazzling ring and a sweet photo of Benny kissing her cheek, captioned, "Forever begins now." Benny affectionately commented, "Hey wait... that's my wife."
Reflecting on their relationship, Selena told Time, "It just happens when you least expect it. I just cherish every moment with him. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know he's not going anywhere anytime soon." Benny echoed her sentiments on The Howard Stern Show, describing Selena as his best friend and saying, "I don't know a world where it could be better than this."
