Benny Blanco delighted his fiancé, Selena Gomez, with a unique Valentine’s Day surprise—a bathtub filled with cheese.
Instagram Reveal
The music producer took to Instagram on Friday (February 14) to showcase his thoughtful gesture. In the video, he follows a trail of tortilla chips leading to his bathroom, where they spell out “I (love you)” on the floor.
In the video, he quipped: “When your fiancé does not really love a color girl,” as he revealed the bath filled with melted cheese, dipped a chip inside, and took a sniff.
“I love everything about this …,” Gomez commented on the post.
He followed this Valentine’s celebration with an announcement of their upcoming joint album, “I Said I Love You First,” set to be released on March 21. You can preorder it here.
On February 14, they also shared the main single titled “Afraid to Love You,” co-written by Blanco, Gomez, and Finneas.
“I Said I Love You First” will chronicle the couple’s love journey, having collaborated on several hit songs together, starting with “Same Old Love” in 2015. They confirmed their romantic relationship in December 2023, when Gomez revealed she had been dating the producer for about six months and announced their engagement in December 2024.
New music follows Gomez, who recently mentioned in an interview that, even though she thinks she is “too old for the life of pop stars,” she will always have music in her life since her partner is a musician. She enjoys creating moments for entertainment.
Previously, she expressed a desire to focus on acting to “preserve her sanity,” as acting allows her to tell other people’s stories instead of her own through music.

During a discussion related to her latest film, Emilia Perez, Gomez was asked about new music with Zoe Saldana, as her last album, “Rare,” released in 2020. When queried about a new album, Gomez replied: “Well, if I had one, I would like to talk about it. I think it’s really pleasant to focus on this side of the playing field right now. Let’s see, you never know.”
In a three-star review of Emilia Perez, Sofia Butcher wrote for NME: “You probably have never seen a film like Emilia Perez before—and however the discourse is sufficient meat so that you are a little glad you watched it, you might not want to again.”
Emilia Perez received a record 13 Oscar nominations this year, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress for Saldana, and Best Actress for Karla Sofia Gascon, the first openly transgender person nominated in the category.
