Selena Gomez’s boyfriend, Benny Blanco, revealed a surprise secret on how to get some love on Valentine’s Day.

In a TikTok video posted on Wednesday, February 14, the Songwriters Hall of Fame member showed that the romance begins in the kitchen by whipping up a batch of homemade fried pickles.

“Guy’s, it’s Valentine’s Day and these are my girlfriend’s favorite pickles,” Blanco said in the clip, which he captioned, “Fry [sic] pickles get laid.” He explained that the only problem is that you can only get them shipped from Texas (Gomez’ home state).

Blanco demonstrated his culinary skills while making a homemade version as he explained, “Make your batter. I put Sprite in mine, if you don’t like it go f–k yourself.”

He demonstrated putting the pickles in the batter, taking them out, and tossing them into a bowl of Panko breadcrumbs. Then Blanco dropped them in some bubbling oil in a frying pan.

Once the process was complete, he marveled at his fried pickle, “Oh my god.”

“Alright guys, take one, dip it [in] ranch, eat it, get laid,” he continued, enjoying his snack before saying, “Happy Valentine’s Day.”

As Blanco was offering his advice, Gomez proclaimed her love for him on her Instagram Story on Valentine’s Day.

In a photo she shared, the couple can be seen sitting next to one another and sticking their tongues out at the camera while flashing the peace sign. “I love you,” she wrote above the photo with a white heart.

Blanco responded by sharing a photo of the Only Murders in the Building star bundled up in a fur coat and scarf with the caption, “My valentine,” along with a purple heart emoji.

This was their first Valentine’s Day as a couple after confirming their relationship in December 2023. Gomez revealed that they had been secretly dating for six months.
