Selena Gomez's mother reveals who walked her down the aisle

Pop star Serena Gomez's mother, Mandy Teefy, has clarified the arrangement for the highly anticipated wedding of her daughter, Selena Gomez, revealing that the singer's grandfather, David, fulfilled the traditional role of walking her down the aisle. The revelation follows reports of a potential family quarrel regarding the choice. Ms. Teefy took to Instagram to share details following the romantic ceremony where the 33-year-old actress married record producer Benny Blanco, 37, on Saturday in Santa Barbara. The event hosted approximately 170 guests, including close friends and colleagues such as Taylor Swift and Only Murders In The Building co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin. The Rare Beauty founder shared personal glimpses of the weekend, including the rehearsal dinner and moments from the post-nuptial celebration.Grandfather David Given the Honour Present at the wedding, Ms. Teefy subsequently praised the newlyweds on Instagram. She confirmed that Gomez's maternal grandfather, David, was asked to escort her down the aisle. The former Disney Channel star is known to have a close relationship with her maternal grandparents, David and Debbie, and mentioned in 2023 that she was residing with them. While Gomez maintains a bond with her stepfather, Brian Teefy, her relationship with her biological father, Ricardo Joel, is reportedly less close.  Sharing a photograph of the couple, Ms. Teefy wrote, "What a perfect celebration for the most kick a** couple I know! The evening couldn't have been more beautiful and perfect! Absolutely flawless!" She concluded her heartfelt message, "All my love to my beautiful daughter @selenagomez and to the greatest son in law @itsbennyblanco!!! It was a fairytale come true and it was beyond heartwarming watching my father walk her down the aisle!!! XO."   The confirmation comes after earlier reports suggested a degree of familial distress. Earlier this month, a source informed the Daily Mail that Ms. Teefy was initially left feeling "shattered" upon learning she would not be asked to walk her daughter down the aisle, with the honour instead being bestowed upon her father, David. The insider stated, "Selena's mother and her stepfather Brian were shattered she didn't choose her mother to walk her down the aisle. In a shock move she chose her grandfather David to give her away to Benny." They added that the choice was made early in the wedding planning, noting, "David and his wife Debbie broke down in tears of joy when she asked him. Selena made the decision as soon as they started planning the wedding." The post Selena Gomez's mother reveals who walked her down the aisle appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
