Selena Gomez is breaking the bridal rulebook — and skipping one of the most time-honored wedding traditions — as she gears up to say ‘I do’ to Benny Blanco.

The Only Murders in the Building star, 32, admitted she’s planning to ditch the classic bride and groom dance at their reception because she’s too shy. 

‘I don’t think we’re looking at having one of those ‘cause they’re a little — I feel embarrᴀssed,’ she said on Wednesday’s episode of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware.

‘She’s shy,’ Blanco, 37, confirmed.

But while there won’t be a traditional first dance, Selena revealed she’s making room for a deeply meaningful moment — a special dance with her grandfather. 

‘He never got a chance to walk my mom down the aisle,’ she shared. ‘I wanted to give [my grandfather] the opportunity to have that.’

Another tradition that will be on the dance floor? The Hora — also known as the ‘chair dance’ — as a nod to Blanco’s Jewish heritage. 

And while Selena’s on board, she confessed she’s more than a little nervous. 

‘I’ve got to be honest, it looks so cute and adorable but I was like, “What? I have to depend on just something like [a chair]?”‘

The pop star confirmed her relationship with the producer in December 2023, and the pair got engaged a year later. 

‘Forever starts now,’ Selena wrote at the time, showing off her sparkling diamond ring.

Selena and Benny have known each other for over a decade — since 2013, when he first met her mom, Mandy Teefey. 

He later co-produced two of her hits Kill Em With Kindness and Same Old Love, from her 2015 album Revival.

The wedding tradition removal comes after Selena admitted she felt ‘alone’ and ‘didn’t like anyone’ for five years after her relationship with ex Bieber ended.

The singer and Justin, 31, dated on/off for nearly a decade before officially splitting in 2018.

Two months after the former couple split, Justin and wife Hailey, who’d had a previous fling in 2016, rekindled their flame in mid-2018 and married later that year. 

Both Justin and Hailey have denied any overlap in their relationships.

While Justin moved on months later, Selena said she felt very ‘alone’ in the aftermath of their breakup before finally meeting her fiancé Benny.

Selena made the rare admission as she discussed her and Benny’s ’embarrᴀssing’ first kiss on the podcast

Benny said: ‘Towards the end of the date, we were just sitting in the living room on the couch, and we were playing, “We’re not really Strangers”.

‘And there was a thing where it said, take a selfie with the person next to you, and she got right on my chest and took a selfie. 

‘And then right after, I just looked at her, and I said, I gotta kiss this girl. And I kissed her right away.

Hailey has faced public scrutiny and was previously accused of ‘stealing’ Justin off Selena following their high profile split (pictured in 2022)

‘And her heart started beating so quickly, and she started getting a rash on her face, and she was so nervous.’

Selena added: ‘I hadn’t liked anyone in a very long time. So some kisses are for fun, and then when you feel something behind a kiss, it’s completely different. 

‘And I’d been alone for about five years, with the exception of a few s****y dates here and there, but never felt that way. And I was a little embarrᴀssed.’

To prove there was ‘no beef or bad feelings’ between Hailey and Selena, the pair put on a united display in 2022 as they posed for a picture together.
