Selena Gomez Has Never Been Happier, and She’s Not Afraid to Show It

If you’re imagining intricate Pinterest boards and a Google Drive folder named “Wedding of the Century,” think again. “I’ve never been so sure about something,” Selena confessed, “but we’re not rushing.” Benny chimed in during his earlier podcast stint with, “We both need to chill.”

Their vibe is less “wedding frenzy” and more “snack in bed while binging shows and losing track of the days.” And honestly? Goals. Benny even spilled a little tea, gushing that Selena’s laid-back energy makes the simplest moments special. Who needs over-the-top PDA when you’re canoodling over piles of takeout?

As far as wedding planning goes, Selena is clear that she’s not here to perform for anyone else. She’s savoring her engagement, one slow, intentional day at a time. But don’t think she’s forgotten the details. Her must-have for the big day? Biscuits. AND. Gravy. The cake? Meh, she might skip it altogether unless it’s for tradition’s sake.

Rare, Real, Resilient

Beyond love and laughter, Selena is proof that self-growth is anything but linear. From facing public scrutiny to navigating her bipolar disorder diagnosis, the woman has consistently shown that vulnerability is her superpower. And, if you somehow missed it, her Rare Beauty brand isn’t just makeup with Instagrammable packaging. It’s a company with its heart in the right place, donating a portion of its proceeds to mental health initiatives.

“I believe in therapy. I’m on medication, and I feel truly lucky,” Selena shared during the interview, speaking candidly about her ongoing mental health priorities. “Anything I work on has to give back,” she said. And Rare Beauty? Yep. It’s built on that very foundation.

For those feeling unseen, unheard, or just plain burnt out, Selena’s openness feels like a balm. It’s a reminder that even global superstars have to find their footing.

Why Her Fans (Still) Stan

Whether she’s working the red carpet with Taylor Swift or belting out emotional anthems, Selena’s charm lies in her relatability. Who wouldn’t root for someone who goes from shimmering in a gown to bingeing reality TV with greasy wrappers all around? (Spoiler alert: The pandemic brought that messy-chic energy into her daily life, just like the rest of us.)

While 2024-2025 may go down as the year of Selena’s blissful chaos, it’s also her era of living authentically. If she wants to plan two weddings in her head and then scrap them both? It’s her prerogative. If she wants to spend weeks glued to her sofa with Benny (and the snacks), you better believe she wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Selena Gomez has spent years reinventing herself, and now she’s leaning into whatever feels authentic. Her fans aren’t just watching her live her best life; they’re cheering her on every step of the way. And with a mindset like hers, you just know here comes the bride…when she’s good and ready.
