Washington, D.C., USA—July 27, 2025— Selena Gomez has given fans a peek into her unusual wedding preparations with fiancé Benny Blanco. She said she would rather have a non-traditional dessert. The celebrity told People that she definitely doesn’t want “a big cake” for her wedding day, “whenever that day comes.”
Gomez doesn’t want a big, tiered cake; she wants a more personal dessert experience. She said, “I think I’d want a mini one for just us that we can freeze.” This showed that she wanted something personal to remember their big day. But the most shocking thing she said was about her “favorite dessert” in general: “I love my Nana’s biscuits and gravy,” she said. “That sounds like a treat to me.” This emotional choice shows how important family and personal comfort are to them as they plan their impending celebration.
The engaged couple, who got engaged in December 2024, have “not yet” started planning their wedding, even though these sweet details about the dessert are nice. Benny Blanco, a music producer, talked about this on the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast on July 10.
Blanco said the delay was because of their busy work life. He said, “We both need to chill,” and then he added, “We’ve both been working so much.” He talked on how busy they had been since becoming engaged: “We got engaged, then we filmed music videos for our album, then it was the holidays, and right after the holidays we had to start promoting our stuff.” After that, she went to film her show Only Murders in the Building. I met her, we hung out for a week, and then it was time for promotion. Now I’m writing another book.
Blanco said, “We’re so excited,” even though they hadn’t had time to get into all the intricacies of organizing the wedding. He mentioned that their wedding would probably be “chill,” which fits with how easygoing they are with each other.
Food has always been an important part of Gomez and Blanco’s relationship. Blanco told a nice story about what he did for Gomez on Valentine’s Day, which showed how much he cared about what she liked to eat. “I ordered her Taco Bell for Valentine’s Day, prepared her nachos from the movies, grabbed her favorite pickles from Texas, and deep-fried them for her. He said, “Then I had all of her candies and Hot Cheetos.”
He also gave some food-related relationship advice: “Even if you’re a bad cook, your partner will like it because you made it.” Get your partner’s opinion on what they want to eat. Don’t strive to make them what you want to eat. “Learn how to cook it if you don’t know how.” This kind of thinking emphasizes how deliberate and personal their relationship is, guaranteeing a wedding that really shows how special they are to each other.
