Benny Blanco is sharing an inside look at Selena Gomez’s birthday celebration.
The Hermoso producer, 38, documented the picturesque Italian cooking class the couple attended in honor of Gomez’s 34th birthday, in a new TikTok video shared on Wednesday, July 22.
“Let’s make an Italian feast for my wife’s birthday,” Blanco began the video while sitting in the car. The camera then cut to Gomez cracking an egg into dough and kneading the pasta into shape, before feeding it into a machine while her husband cheered her on.
“You see that?” Blanco then said as he turned his pasta dough into spaghetti.
“Oooh!” Gomez is heard saying off-camera, before a shot of the pasta cooking in a pot. The Only Murders in the Building actress smiled for the camera as she took her first bite. Blanco then shared a shot of himself grating lemon zest and herbs into soft cheese for the inside of Fiori di zucca, an Italian stuffed squash blossom dish.
In the next shot, the couple clinked wine glasses as Gomez took a bite of cheese, before Blanco filmed marinara sauce being laid in a pan. Gomez then placed thin slices of eggplant into a pan for eggplant parmesan.
“Goodnight,” Blanco quipped as the dish went into the oven to cook.
“My baby makes the best eggplant parmesan,” Blanco said while showing off the final product of the eggplant parmesan. “Okay you scoop a little bit and then you put it on a slice of bread.”
Blanco then took a bite and nodded in approval of Gomez’s dish.
“That’s the best thing I’ve tasted in Italy so far and you made it,” he told Gomez as she smiled on camera.
“No, you made it,” Gomez replied.
Blanco also filmed some of the local scenery, including a stunning view of Italian villas flanked by fountains and greenery, joking about the “s----y view.”
The video concluded with Gomez lying down after the cooking class, as Blanco quietly said “Happy birthday baby I love you.”

Lelli told PEOPLE exclusively that a member of Blanco’s team booked a reservation for the couple a few days ahead for a private table, but they decided to sit outside under the Portici di Bologna, the arches around the city center under which the restaurant has tables.
“They were absolutely amazing, very lovely, good-hearted people,” he said. “They showered us with compliments for the food, for the service, and they were just great clients.”
The couple tied the knot on Sept. 27, 2025, nearly two years after going public with their relationship.
