Benny Blanco is proving Valentine’s Day isn’t all chocolate hearts and roses.

The American music producer, 36, took to Instagram this February 14 to share with fans an unusual gift for his fiance, Selena Gomez, 32.

Filming himself following a trail of corn chips, Benny walked into his bathroom where ‘I love you’ is written out on the floor with chips, before panning the camera to show a bathtub full of cheese.

It appeared to be an interesting choice of gift for the star; however, Benny soon clarified that it was actually very thoughtful: ‘When your fiancé isn’t much of a flowers girl.’

It’s safe to say the treat went down swimmingly with fans, who took to the comment section to share their thoughts and make a few puns along the way.

‘You guys are so cheesy I love it,’ @fatimaumar_94 added.

@sarahkatharineny also weighed in, typing: ‘The house cleaner is about to have a DAY tomorrow.’

While @Salt_hank said: ‘Great day for luv bad day to be a plumber.’

However, some fans theorised on Reddit that everything was not as it seemed and instead of the entire bathtub being filled with cheese, it was actually just a shallow plastic insert.

‘I doubt it’s the entire tub. Prob like an inch of cheese on a plastic insert,’ throwawayOtf wrote, with @zorandzam adding: ‘That’s what I’m desperately hoping.’

Benny and Selena didn’t celebrate their first Valentine’s Day with just a bathtub of cheese though, they also announced that they are releasing new music together.

‘I always trick you guys my NEW album I Said I Love You First with my best friend @itsbennyblanco, is out on 3/21,’ the singer and actress captioned an Instagram post to her 422 million Instagram followers on Thursday night.

She accompanied the announcement with a slideshow of pictures of her and Benny, from pictures of them in bed to sharing kisses.

‘Our first song, Scared of Loving You is out now on all streaming platforms. Merchandise and signed products for the album are available for pre-order now. We can’t wait to share this special project with you soon!’ She added.

This isn’t the first time the pair have worked together.

Selena and Benny also collaborated on the Only Murders In The Building star’s 2023 song Single Soon, I Can’t Get Enough, which was featured on her 2020 album, Rare and in 2015, they worked on Same Old Love and Kill Em With Kindness.  

The couple got engaged in December last year after more than a year of dating.

Sharing an adorable announcement on Instagram, they posted a photo of the two of them hugging in Benny’s lavish walk-in wardrobe, as Selena held up her hand over her face to showcase her marquise-cut diamond that is set on a yellow-gold pave diamond band.

She wrote in the caption: ‘Forever begins now…’
