Benny Blanco gave his fiancée Selena Gomez a very different kind of Valentine’s Day gift. Instead of flowers or chocolates, he filled her bathtub with queso cheese and spread tortilla chips around their home.
Blanco, 36, shared the surprise in a video on Instagram on February 14. The clip showed the cheese-filled bathtub along with a creative setup leading to it. The background music was the couple’s song, “Scared of Loving You.”
The video began with a trail of tortilla chips leading through the house to the bathroom. Inside, there was a stack of chips arranged to spell “I heart you.” Blanco then moved the camera to the bathtub, which was filled with melted queso. Next to it, a small stool held a bowl of chips.
To prove it wasn’t just for decoration, Blanco picked up a chip, dipped it into the tub, and took a bite. He seemed pretty happy with his choice of Valentine’s gift.
He captioned the video: “When your fiancée isn’t much of a flowers girl.”
The unique gift quickly caught attention online. Some fans found it hilarious, while others questioned whether filling a bathtub with cheese was a good idea. Many people commented on the post, reacting to the over-the-top gesture.
Selena Gomez, 32, has not yet shared her reaction publicly, but fans assume she enjoyed the surprise. The couple has been open about their relationship, often sharing funny and sweet moments online.
Blanco is known for his playful and creative personality, and this Valentine’s Day gift was another example of his sense of humor. While many people give roses or chocolates, he chose something unexpected and personal.
It’s not clear what happened to the queso after the video, but fans had plenty of questions. One user joked, “Did they actually eat all that, or is their drain clogged forever?” Another said, “This is love, but also… that’s a lot of cheese.”
Either way, Blanco’s unusual Valentine’s Day gift will definitely be remembered!
