Benny Blanco has one cheesy Valentine’s Day gift for Selena Gomez.
Since Selena “isn’t much of a flowers girl,” according to the music producer, he decided to fill the bathtub in their home with liquid nacho cheese as a present.
As seen in a Feb. 14 Instagram video set to the couple’s newly released collab “Scared of Loving You,” Benny set up a trail of corn chips to their bathroom, where a large porcelain tub sat filled to the brim with cheese sauce.
He also set up a massive bowl of chips by the tub, along with the words “I <3 You” spelled out using the deep fried snacks on the ground.
To give viewers something to taco bout, the 36-year-old ended the clip by dipping a chip in the bathtub and taking a huge bite.
So, what did Selena think of the un-brie-lievable stunt? The Only Murders in the Building star—who has declared Taco Bell and movie theater nachos among her favorite foods—wrote in the comments section along with a heart face emoji, “I love everything bout this.”
And for Benny, he and Selena go together like, well, chips and dip. Despite having opposing extroverted and introverted personalities, he believes their relationship has struck the perfect balance.
“It’s so good because I get her out, and she calms me down when I need it,” the Wide Open cookbook author explained in a joint interview for Interview published Feb. 14. “She’s the first person that I’ve been with where I’m like, ‘I don’t even give a f–k what’s going on. I could sit in this bed with you for 72 hours and feel like I didn’t miss anything.’”
In fact, he likened their chemistry to “heroin and Xanax combined.”
“Whenever I’m feeling anything but perfect, she knows the exact thing to say,” continued Benny, who’s been dating Selena since 2023. “I’m so pissed that it took this long. It’s like, ‘How did we not figure this out sooner?'”
