Benny Blanco shares glimpse of Selena Gomez's birthday celebration in Italy
Los Angeles, July 23
Singer and actress Selena Gomez celebrated her 34th birthday with husband Benny Blanco during their trip to Italy, and the music producer has now shared a glimpse of their special day.
On Wednesday, Blanco posted a video showing the couple attending an Italian cooking class. The video began with Blanco saying, "Let's make an Italian feast for my wife's birthday," before showing the couple preparing fresh pasta together.
The video featured Gomez making pasta dough, rolling it out and feeding it into a pasta machine, while Blanco cheered her on. The couple later prepared several Italian dishes, including Fiori di zucca and eggplant parmesan.
As they enjoyed the meal, Blanco praised Gomez's cooking, saying, "My baby makes the best eggplant parmesan." After tasting the dish, he added, "That's the best thing I've tasted in Italy so far and you made it."
Gomez quickly replied, "No, you made it."
The video also showed the couple enjoying the Italian countryside, raising a toast together and spending time outdoors. It ended with Gomez relaxing after the cooking session as Blanco quietly wished her, "Happy birthday baby I love you."
Earlier, on July 21, the couple had dinner at Trattoria della Santa in Bologna, Italy. According to PEOPLE, restaurant owner Riccardo Lelli said they were "absolutely amazing" guests and praised their kindness.
Lelli said the reservation had been made a few days in advance for a private table, but the couple chose to sit outside under the famous Portici di Bologna. He added, "They were absolutely amazing, very lovely, good-hearted people. They showered us with compliments for the food, for the service, and they were just great clients."
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco got married on September 27, 2025, nearly two years after making their relationship public.

Finally a celebrity couple that feels genuine! No flashy parties or Instagram drama, just homemade pasta and countryside view. As Indians we know the value of food made with love — reminds me of my grandmother's kitchen. Wishing them both a lifetime of happiness and good pasta! 🍝
This is adorable. But can we talk about how the restaurant owner said they were "absolutely amazing" guests? That's rare for celebrities! Shows they're genuinely down-to-earth people. The cooking class video is goals.
I'm happy for them, really. But sometimes I wonder if these meticulously curated glimpses are just PR. The cooking class looks fun, but it's all so perfect. Still, if they're happy, good for them. India's celebrity couples could learn a thing or two about keeping things private and classy!
"My baby makes the best eggplant parmesan" – stop, this is too cute! 🥹 They remind me of my Nani and Nana cooking together during festivals. Food really is the way to the heart, whether it's Italian or Indian. Also, Selena looks so relaxed and happy, which is wonderful to see.
I didn't even know they got married last year! Time flies. This is so refreshing compared to the over-the-top Bollywood weddings we see. Just two people enjoying good food and each other's company in beautiful Italy. That's all you need honestly. 🎂
