  • The star shared what items will be included and excluded on the couple’s big day in an interview clip Rare Beauty shared on July 25
  • Gomez got engaged to the music producer in December 2024

“Who Says” biscuits and gravy aren’t the perfect wedding dessert?

Selena Gomez hinted at details about her forthcoming nuptials to fiancé Benny Blanco in a new interview clip shared by her brand Rare Beauty on Friday, July 25.

Kicking things off with some menu brainstorming for when she and her music producer and cookbook author beau tie the knot — “Whenever that day comes” — Gomez, 33, said, “I do know I don’t want a big cake.”

Instead, she explained, she wants a smaller and more intimate dessert, reserved for herself and Blanco, 37. Said Gomez: “I think I’d want a mini one for just us that we can freeze.”

Rather than a sweet treat, Gomez explained that her “preferred dessert would be biscuits and gravy.” But not just anyone’s recipe: “My Nana’s biscuits and gravy,” she said. “That sounds like dessert to me.”

Despite Gomez’s recent dessert dishing, she and Blanco — who got engaged in December 2024 — have “not yet” begun planning their wedding, the music producer previously revealed.

During the July 10 episode of the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast, Blanco explained that the couple hasn’t begun wedding planning because they “both need to chill” and have “both been working so much.”

“We got engaged and then we were filming music videos for our album, then it’s holidays, then right after the holidays we had to start all the promo for our stuff, do that,” the producer said. “Then she left to film her show Only Murders [in the Building] and then I met her, then we hung out for a week, and then right after that it’s promo, and then I’m writing another book.”

The couple has been “working on so many things that we hadn’t even had time to get into it,” Blanco later added. “But we’re so excited.”

In the same Therapuss episode, the Open Wide author did, however, tease that he and Gomez may “sit down” this summer “and be like, ‘Okay, what are we doing.’ ”

Plus, speaking about the type of wedding the couple will have, he said, “I think it will be, like, chill.”

Blanco also shared a glimpse into his relationship with Gomez, telling host Jake Shane that while he doesn’t usually like to lay in bed, “with Selena, I can do it all day.”

The singer, he added, “makes me want to hang out and cuddle — just watch things, just eat food and have piles of food around us and have the best time ever.”

The pair has been open about how food plays a key role in their relationship, with Blanco previously telling PEOPLE that he goes “all out” for dates with the Disney Channel alum.

“For Valentine’s Day, I got her Taco Bell, I made her movie-theater nachos, I found her favorite pickles from Texas and I deep-fried them for her. Then [I had] all her candies and Hot Cheetos,” Blanco recalled in PEOPLE’s 2024 Sexiest Man Alive issue. (The following year, he treated her to a bathtub filled with queso, complete with chips for dipping.)

Similarly, Blanco also advises anyone seeking romance to learn how to cook for their partners — even if it isn’t a strong suit.

“Even if you’re terrible at cooking, [your partner will] like it because you did it,” the cookbook author told PEOPLE. “Ask your partner what they want to eat. Don’t try to cook them what you want to eat. If you don’t know how to cook it — learn it.”
