E! News·2025-09-06 06:04

David Henrie is looking forward to his former costar's magical day. 

The Wizards of Waverly Place alum—who played Justin Russo opposite Selena Gomez's Alex Russo on the hit Disney Channel series from 2007 to 2012 and, most recently, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place—revealed whether he will be attending the "Same Old Love" singer and her fiancé Benny Blanco's upcoming wedding. 

"Oh, 100 percent," David said in an interview with Parade published Sept. 5. "I mean, as long as I'm not doing something that takes me away with my family or work, or whatever."

In fact, the 36-year-old—who shares daughters Pia, 6, and Gemma, 3, as well as son James, 5, with wife Maria Cahill—shared that he's already discussed the big day with Selena, who announced her engagement to Benny back in December following one year of dating. 

"Yes, we've talked about it," David confirmed. "I'm very excited." 

And he'll be nothing but thrilled to watch his longtime friend walk down the aisle toward Benny, noting that he's "spent some time with them" and sees why they make a great match. 

"She smiles a lot around him," David shared. "That makes me really happy, so I'm very happy about that."

Of course, David's attendance at Selena's wedding won't be the first time the pair will have reunited since wrapping their Disney Channel show. They previously linked back up when the Only Murders in the Building star made a guest appearance in the first season of the Wizards of Waverly Place revival, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place

In a photo shared to Instagram in March 2024, Selena and David—who both serve as executive producers of the show—posed for the camera at a kitchen table alongside the revival's new cast members Mimi Gianopulos, Alkaio Thiele and Max Matenko.

“WE ARE BACK!!!” Selena captioned the sweet pic. “SOOO GRATEFUL. MAGIC!”

And as for when the onscreen siblings will get to take an equally adorable snap at Selena and Benny's wedding reception? The couple—who celebrated their bachelor and bachelorette parties earlier this month—have yet to reveal an exact date. 

"I think every day she’s planned a new wedding in her head," Benny joked about their planning process in a March interview with Rolling Stone. "We’re very much 'take it one day at a time'-type of people."

For all the details Selena and Benny have shared about tying the knot, keep reading. 

Haven't received your invitation to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's wedding yet? Baby, calm down, calm down. While Ed Sheeran suggested in a May lie detector test for Vanity Fair that he'd already been invited, Benny has insistedhe and Selena haven't finalized a date."I was like, 'I'm going to have a wedding, and you're going to come to the wedding,'" Benny explained in a June interview for Australia's Today show. "I guess literally newspapers take things out of context and stuff. Eventually Ed will come to our wedding when we do have one, but unfortunately, we have not scheduled one yet—but we will." And who says the couple needs to get married right away?"I think every day she’s planned a new wedding in her head," Benny added in a March interview with Rolling Stone. "We’re very much 'take it one day at a time'-type of people. We’re still not over this moment."

Ed won't be the only celebrity on the guest list. And you probably don't need to go round and round trying to guess who else Selena and Benny will invite. After the pair announced their engagement in December 2024, Taylor Swift offered her services."Yes," the 14-time Grammy winner and Selena's longtime pal wrote on Instagram, "I will be the flower girl."

Of course, we can't forget about Steve Martin and Martin Short.When Drew Barrymore suggested that Selena's Only Murders in the Building costars officiate the ceremony, the bride-to-be replied, "Oh my gosh! I haven't even thought about that."However, she had given some thought to other potential roles."Marty is due to give a speech," Selena continued on the April episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. "I told him he must. Steve will probably pull out his banjo, but I feel like Marty would have an epic speech."

While fans already know Selena and Benny love each other like a love song, they might be wondering what actual tracks the two will play on their big day. And given the singer and the music producer's careers, it's no surprise they're making the tunes a priority."We’re definitely not planning exactly at this moment, but we do want to make sure that the music’s good," Selena shared on a March episode of The Tonight Show. "And I’m gonna let that be his job."

When it comes to dessert, the actress doesn't have that same old love for a multi-tiered cake."Whenever that day comes, I do know I don't want a big cake," Selena said in a July TikTok video for her brand Rare Beauty. "I think I'd want a mini one for just us that we can freeze."Instead, she'd rather serve a different option and tell her guests, when you're ready, come and get it."My preferred dessert would be biscuits and gravy," Selena continued. "My nana's biscuits and gravy, that sounds like dessert to me."

A first dance is hardly a rare tradition, but it's one Selena seems comfortable skipping. "I don't think we're looking at having one of those," the Wizards of Waverly Place alum said on an April episode of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware. "Cause they're a little..."When Benny noted Selena gets shy, she acknowledged, "I feel embarrassed."But that doesn't mean the Emilia Pérez star will stay completely off the dance floor. In fact, she said she'd like to "have a special dance with my papa."

"He's my mom's father," Selena said, referencing mother Mandy Teefey, who eloped with Brian Teefey in 2006. "He never got a chance to walk my mom down the aisle because, good for my mom, she decided to go to Vegas and be like, ‘Whooo’ and she’s still been with him ever since they were 26. So it's very cute that they did that, but I wanted to give him an opportunity."
