In honor of their first date, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco revisited the restaurant where it all began.
The now-engaged couple returned to the kitchen to cook with Jitlada chef Jazz Singsanong.
Gomez and Blanco filmed themselves making their “first date shrimp” alongside Singsanong as she walked them through it.
“Jazz is the best person in the world,” Blanco, 37, shared. “She makes the best food.”
In the comments section, the chef returned the praise, honoring both Blanco and Gomez for being “so kind to me,” adding that she loves and appreciates them so much. “Can’t wait to cook on your wedding,” she continued after calling Blanco “the kindest man on earth.”
“He will [make] Selena a princess in life,” Singsanong added. “When I got [a] bad cold [for] 3 weeks he [checked] on me every other day till I get back to work. What a lucky 70 years old lady. Love you.”
Since announcing their engagement in December 2024, Gomez and Blanco have also announced their new album, I Said I Love You First, set to be released Friday, March 21. On Snapchat, Gomez later revealed that their first date was also the inspiration behind the next single set to release from the album. In addition to that, she shared their “first official photo together.”
“Our first date was on Sunset Blvd,” Gomez wrote. “And it’s also the title of our next song together. ‘Sunset Blvd’ out March 14 with Benny Blanco.”
Blanco proposed to Gomez on a soundstage with a marquise diamond.
In a conversation with Interview magazine, Gomez said, “Ever since the ‘Good for You’ days — that was, gosh, so many years ago — that’s the diamond I’ve always dreamed of.”
As for the details of their engagement, Gomez said she’ll keep those close to the vest.
“That I want to save for our kids,” she explained. “It was really sweet and the right things were said.”
