Watch: How Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Celebrated First Married Thanksgiving Together

Selena Gomez has only gratitude in the building.

Two months after she tied the knot with Benny Blanco during an intimate Santa Barbara wedding, the Disney Channel alum shared a glimpse at how the pair made their first Thanksgiving together as a married couple special.

In a picture shared to her Instagram Story Nov. 27, Selena, 33, showcased lavish outdoor dining tables covered in floral arrangements and candles as family members prepared to have dinner in the backyard during the festive day’s golden hour.

"Most thankful for all of you today," the Only Murders in the Building star wrote to her followers in the caption. "Happy Thanksgiving."

In another snap, Selena cozied up to Benny, 37, in front of an outdoor fireplace as she wrapped her arms around him and draped her legs across his thigh. For his part, the music producer held his wife’s hand as he smiled wide.

The couple’s first major holiday together since getting married extends the streak of heartwarming milestones they’ve reached since getting engaged in December, including their red carpet debut at the 2025 Emmys.

“It has been a dream so far,” Selena told Zane Lowe about her marriage during an interview with Apple Music on Nov. 13. “I know it will come with ebbs and flows, but it’s the most beautiful person that I can do that with.”

And that intimate partnership is what inspired the Wizards of Waverly Place actress to make her latest album I Said I Love You First, a collaboration with Benny that earned the couple their first Grammy nomination together earlier this month for the song “Bluest Flame.”

“This whole project embodies his stories combined with my stories,” Selena told Rolling Stone in March. “They have meanings that are really just personal to both of us. So one song could actually mean two different things. And I think it was just really cute.”

But while the songs were collaborative, the album’s title was a little more one-sided.

“Guilty as charged,” Selena quipped. “I said ‘I love you’ first.”
