Benny also marked the occasion with a sweet Instagram post. “I used to play a teddy bear in your music video, and now I get to be yours in real life. Happy birthday, bb! I love you!” he wrote, sharing a picture of them cuddling, with him dressed in a teddy bear costume.
According to People, the behind-the-scenes photo is from the music video for their 2019 song “I Can’t Get Enough.” The couple started dating a few years later, going public with their relationship in December 2023. Gomez later confirmed they had been together for six months before the announcement. Since then, they’ve attended the Golden Globes and Primetime Emmys together and enjoyed courtside seats at several NBA games.
Gomez expressed gratitude for the birthday love. “Thank you so much for your birthday wishes!!” she wrote, sharing a photo of balloon letters spelling out “Happy Birthday Selena.”
Blanco quoted Jay-Z in the comments, writing, “I got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain 😍.” Her Only Murders in the Building co-star, Steve Martin, humorously replied, “@itsbennyblanco she sold the one I gave her.”
