Born on July 22, Gomez is closing out Cancer season. This marks her first birthday as a married woman after tying the knot with Benny Blanco on September 27 2025, and the couple went all out, vacationing in Italy. On Wednesday, Blanco revealed that they celebrated with their own fancy Italian feast, which looked delicious.
Nestled in a Tuscan village in Italy, the couple made what looked like a 5-star meal at a cooking class at Il Borro, which is “expressed through the cuisine of Osteria del Borro and their Executive Chef Andrea Campani,” according to their website.

They had multiple courses, making handmade pasta, stuffed squash flowers, and eggplant parmesan. They both looked incredibly happy, with Blanco declaring that the eggplant parmesan was the best thing he had in Italy. “And my baby made it,” he said while zooming in on Gomez, who replied, “No, we made it.” They had so much that Gomez even passed out in the car on the way home.
Before the cooking post, Blanco dedicated a carousel to his “beautiful wife” with a stunning photo of her posing with Chiesa di San Frediano in Cestello in the background, a video of him carrying her on his back, and another sweet photo of her sleeping in a car – which seems to be one of his favorite places to photograph her.
“My beautiful wife… i’ll carry u wherever u wanna go forever… happy birthday my love,” he captioned the post.
Selena Gomez’s birthday post
From Italy, Gomez shared her own post reflecting on her birthday, holding a rich chocolate dessert in a fancy glass. She looked gorgeous in a white tank top, dangling earrings, and her hair perfectly laid.
She thanked fans for their birthday wishes and shouted out the Rare Impact Fund, saying she’s grateful to have watched the community come together in support of youth mental health. “Little me would never believe I’d get to celebrate my birthday alongside 6 years of the Rare Impact Fund,” she wrote.
Gomez encouraged those who can learn more about the initiative and help support its mission, calling the work “the greatest gift.”
Heart and tummy full
Food has always been a theme in Gomez and Blanco’s relationship. Since they started dating, they’ve cooked for each other with recipes ranging from watermelon pickle sandwich to Philly cheese steak hot pockets.
The 38-year-old had a viral moment on TikTok back in 2024 when he shared a video of himself making her favorite deep-fried pickles, with the caption, “fry pickles and get laid.”
But when they’re too tired to cook, they have their go-to food orders. “Sometimes when you’re cooking all day, you’re doing all this stuff, you’re just like, ‘Should we just get pizza? Or should we just go get tacos?” he told People.
