A-lister reportedly backs out of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s star-studded wedding

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s upcoming wedding will reportedly be missing a major A-list guest.

Meryl Streep — who appeared alongside Gomez in “Only Murders in the Building” and is dating her co-star Martin Short — was invited to the highly anticipated nuptials, but pulled out, a source told the Daily Mail.

The insider explained to the outlet that the Oscar winner was “planning to attend but told Selena she now won’t be able to.” An exact reason for her absence from the lavish affair was not provided.

However, it’s likely Streep, 76, has been tied up with work, as she’s been filming the sequel for “The Devil Wears Prada” in New York City in recent months.

Page Six has reached out to reps for Gomez and Streep but did not immediately hear back.

Gomez and Blanco will reportedly have other stars watch them say “I do” on their big day, however.

Short, 75, and Steve Martin — who also stars on the bride-to-be’s hit Hulu show — will be in attendance, and Paris Hilton and Gomez’s BFF Taylor Swift are on the guest list, as well, per the Daily Mail.

“Taylor is planning to attend but she’ll probably be going solo as [her fiancé] Travis Kelce has a game in Kansas the next day,” the insider added. “That’s all still under discussion.”

Gomez, 33, and Blanco, 37, are expected to walk down the aisle this Saturday.

Sources revealed to the Sun last week that the pop star and songwriter’s star-studded wedding will take place at a private estate in Santa Barbara, Calif.

Guests will stay nearby at the El Encanto hotel, where rooms go for $3,500-a-night.

“All the guests will be picked up and driven to the location without knowing their destination ahead of time,” a source added. “Everyone is so excited despite the mystery, they know it will be an amazing time.”

Blanco proposed to Gomez with a marquise engagement ring in December 2024 after dating for a year.

The “Come & Get It” songstress gushed via Instagram at the time, “forever begins now.”
