Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco were seen sharing a romantic moment on a water taxi in Venice on Sunday. The couple, who tied the knot in September, held hands as they disembarked from the Orient Express at Santa Lucia railway station. Gomez sported an autumnal ensemble featuring a sleeveless brown top and a leather skirt, paired with brown heeled boots. Blanco was dressed in a blue suit.
The pair's visit to the Italian city comes just days before the 83rd Venice Film Festival is set to begin. Gomez recently concluded filming for the latest season of her series "Only Murders In The Building" in the UK and took time to be with her husband, a music producer.
Blanco previously shared insights into the early stages of their relationship, recounting a question Gomez posed to him about the potential public scrutiny of their romance due to her fame. He stated he chose to embrace a public relationship, emphasizing the support of friends and family.
"We’re lucky because we both have friends and family we’ve known since before all this, and we’re surrounded by a good group of people we love," Blanco told El País. He also noted his personal preference against exposing his life due to the constant scrutiny faced by famous individuals.
Before publicly confirming their relationship in December 2023, Gomez and Blanco kept their romance private for approximately eight to nine months. They announced their engagement a year later, with Gomez sharing the news on social media. The couple married in Santa Barbara. In March 2025, they released a joint album, "I Said I Love You First." Reflecting on the early days of their marriage in November, Gomez described it as "a dream."
