Selena Gomez fans have sad theory about why she posted her wedding pictures so quickly after getting married

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco got married this weekend, in a stunning ceremony in Santa Barbara. Fans were thrilled to see photos of the happy couple shared within hours of them tying the knot, but some have questioned why Selena posted them so fast, while presumably still celebrating.

Selena and music producer Benny both wore Ralph Lauren outfits, and were wed in front of 170 of their friends and family.

Guests are said to have included long-time friend Taylor Swift, as well as Selena's Only Murders In The Building co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin.

Someone who wasn't there was her ex Justin Bieber, who shared a cryptic post in the wake of her wedding, soundtracked by his song 'I Do'.

Now every happy bride and groom loves sharing pictures of their big day, but fans of Selena's have been sharing sad theories about why Selena felt the need to share hers so quickly.

One fan wrote: "They both look so happy and beyond in love. I’m so happy that Selena finally got her happy ending.

"I hate that she had to post them so fast while she’s still probably at her wedding/reception, but good on her for getting ahead of the paps. Absolutely stunning photos btw!!"

Another added: "I think she likely posted these pics right away to devalue any shots that potentially could have been taken," to which someone else replied: "Makes sense, and honestly it's a good strategy. Have someone primed to post a few approved shots, devalue the paps and move on."

"I love how normal these photos feel. It doesn’t feel extravagant or showy. Just two genuine people in love," swooned another.

Also in attendance at the wedding were Paul Rudd, Paris Hilton, Ed Sheeran, Ashley Park, and Wizards of Waverly Place co-star David Henrie.

A source told People that Mark Ronson DJed at the reception, while Swift and Sheeran gave speeches.

Gomez previously said on The Drew Barrymore Show that 'Marty [Short] is due to give a speech', while 'Steve [Martin] will probably pull out his banjo'.

One fan replied: "I just want the pics of her with Steve and Martin, because you know they’re there," as another agreed: "I love the idea of Martin and Steve at her wedding."

Another praised: "I am OBSESSED with how beautiful she looks!"

Meanwhile, Benny shared a sweet picture of them both, captioned: "I married a real life Disney Princess!"

The couple had been dating since 2023 and got engaged in 2024.
