Benny Blanco’s Cheesy Valentine’s Day Gesture For Selena Gomez Is A Hit

The music producer went all out for Valentine’s Day, swapping the traditional flowers and chocolates for a cheesy grand gesture that had fans swooning.

From a tortilla chip trail to a bathtub overflowing with queso, Benny Blanco’s over-the-top surprise was anything but ordinary, and social media can’t get enough of it.

Benny Blanco went all out for Valentine’s Day, surprising his fiancée Selena Gomez with a quirky and romantic display featuring tortilla chips and a bathtub full of queso dip.

The music producer shared a video of his elaborate setup on Instagram, captioning the post, “when your fiancé [sic] isnt much of a flowers girl.” Blanco crafted a unique trail of tortilla chips leading to a marble bathroom, where the floor was covered with chips spelling out “I [heart] You.”

As if that weren’t enough, a luxurious free-standing marble bathtub had been completely filled with bright orange melted cheese dip, elevating the theme of his cheesy grand gesture.

In the video, Blanco casually grabbed a chip from a large snack bowl placed beside the tub, dipped it into the queso, and took a bite. The clip was set to his newly released song with Gomez, “Scared Of Loving You,” which debuted Thursday alongside the couple’s announcement of their joint album, “I Said I Love You First.”

Fans couldn’t get enough of the over-the-top romantic surprise, flooding the comments with admiration for Blanco’s creativity and devotion to Gomez.

“Thank you for treating her the way she deserves. KING!” one person wrote.

“This is adorable,” someone else said.

“You guys are so cheesy I love it,” a pun-loving commenter chimed in, while another joked, “This is the cutest relation-chip.”

The comments continued to pour in as fans gushed over Blanco’s sweet gesture.

“Absolutely incredible,” one Instagram user commented. “10/10.”

“SO real. I love this, the happiness both of you radiate is heartwarming!!” another fan added.

“Yes!!! Love this!!” someone else expressed.

Blanco has never been shy about expressing his love for Gomez, previously sharing heartfelt words about their relationship. “i cant believe i get to spend the rest of my life with you,” he wrote in a post about their new collaboration.

The couple got engaged in December 2024 when Blanco proposed with a marquise diamond engagement ring estimated to be worth around $250,000. At the time, Gomez shared several engagement photos, captioning them, “forever begins now.”

Gomez confirmed her relationship with Blanco in December 2023, and it seems food remains a central theme in their love story. For Valentine’s Day last year, Blanco opted for another snack-inspired surprise, whipping up fried pickles with a side of ranch for his now-fiancée.

The hit producer has never been shy about his passion for cooking, often sharing homemade meals, kitchen experiments, and snack obsessions with fans. He’s even taken his love for food beyond just a personal hobby, launching a YouTube cooking series, appeared on food-focused podcasts, and frequently collaborates with chefs to showcase his culinary creativity.

Selena Gomez has always been open about her love for food, often sharing her favorite meals, snacks, and cooking experiences with fans.

From indulging in comfort foods to experimenting in the kitchen, food has played a big role in her life, so much so that she even launched her own cooking show, “Selena + Chef,” on HBO Max in 2020. The show featured Gomez learning from top chefs while cooking up gourmet dishes in her home kitchen, all while embracing the inevitable kitchen mishaps along the way.

Beyond the show, Gomez has frequently expressed her love for savory snacks like pickles and hot Cheetos, which she’s often seen munching on during interviews and backstage at events. She also has a soft spot for Tex-Mex cuisine, thanks to her Texas roots, and has been vocal about her love for tacos, queso, and chips and salsa, making Benny Blanco’s queso-themed Valentine’s Day surprise even more fitting.
