Benny Blanco is ready to cook for Selena Gomez — no matter the location!
Blanco, 36, opened up during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday, May 14, about just how much he prepares for dates with his girlfriend, 31.
Ahead of their one-year dating anniversary, which the music producer says is around Gomez’s July 22 birthday, Blanco revealed details about his Valentine’s Day plan, which involved renting out a movie theater so they could be alone.
“I want to do something that she loves,” Blanco told Stern, 70, recalling the romantic day. “She loves movies, so I rented out a movie theater. And she loves a comfortable couch, so I took out the seats and we put like a huge couch in the front.”
“I was like, ‘What are all her favorite foods?’ ” he continued. “I spoke with her grandma, I spoke with her mom, her best friend and this is what I came up with.”

Blanco then recalled how he prepared tons of snacks for their Valentine’s Day movie date, including homemade fried pickles that he prepared onsite (“I brought a deep fryer”), items from Taco Bell, Hot Cheetos and “movie theater nachos.”
“I brought in a nacho machine, and then we watched — you know, her favorite movie growing up was Almost Famous, so we watched Almost Famous, we ate the f—ing nachos and that’s what she loves,” he said. “She’s, like, the easiest.”
“You’re knocking it out of the park,” Stern replied to the story. “I see love here. I’m predicting marriage.”
“You and me both,” the music producer responded.
Elsewhere in the radio interview, Blanco revealed that he and Gomez had been dating for months before they went public with their relationship in December 2023.
He added that he has “some really good stuff” planned for the Only Murders in the Building star for their upcoming anniversary.
“People always said this to me, when you know you meet your best friend, she truly is my best friend,” Blanco said, joking that he has to get his act together when Stern asked if he’ll be proposing to his girlfriend soon.
“You got a ring?” Stern asked, to which Blanco responded jokingly: “I don’t have anything. What do you mean? I got no shoes on.”
“I gotta get my act together,” he concluded.
