Benny Blanco is letting fans in on how he celebrated Selena Gomez’s birthday abroad.

The 38-year-old music producer posted a TikTok video on Wednesday. The clip captured the couple’s time in Italy for Gomez’s 34th birthday, and instead of a big party, the two chose something more hands-on. They spent the day taking a cooking class together.

The video showed them rolling out fresh pasta from scratch. They also prepared eggplant parmesan and a few other classic Italian dishes. At one point, the couple paused to toast with glasses of wine, adding a festive touch to the lesson.

Blanco could not hide his excitement after tasting their eggplant parmesan. He told Gomez it was the best thing he had eaten in Italy so far. Gomez smiled and gave the credit right back to him, saying he was the one who made it.

The clip also gave fans a glimpse of the Italian countryside surrounding them. Rolling hills and scenic views played in the background as the two enjoyed their day away from the spotlight.

Toward the end of the video, Gomez was shown relaxing after the cooking session wrapped up. Blanco used the quiet moment to wish her a happy birthday on camera and told her that he loved her, capping off the sweet tribute.

The couple’s Italian trip included more than just the cooking class. The night before, on July 21, they had dinner at Trattoria della Santa in Bologna. Married since September 2025, the pair have continued to share glimpses of their relationship, but this getaway felt especially personal.

The restaurant’s owner, Riccardo Lelli, spoke about hosting the couple. He described them as absolutely amazing guests, and said that both Gomez and Blanco were kind and friendly throughout their visit.

Lelli also noted that the couple made a point of thanking the staff. He said they appreciated both the food and the overall service during their meal.

Fans have responded warmly to the birthday video, praising the couple for choosing a simple, meaningful way to celebrate rather than a lavish party. Many called the moment refreshing, especially given how public the couple’s relationship often is.

For Gomez, turning 34 in Italy alongside her husband seems to have offered exactly the kind of low-key, joyful celebration she wanted.
