This Is the One Food Selena Gomez Has to Have at Her Wedding
Published on May 22, 2025
Selena Gomez and fiance Benny Blanco have a lot of wedding planning to do. The couple got engaged in December, and so far don’t seem to be in a rush to organize the details yet.
But one detail that remains very important for the couple is the food. Selena has her own cooking show, and Benny has his own cookbook. Even celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay weighed in on the announcement with a food-related comment: “Congratulations to you both it must be the cooking.” And what’s more—they actually got engaged over a Taco Bell Mexican pizza! Do you think Benny got down on one knee and asked Selena if she would like to live más, forever?
What food will Selena Gomez absolutely have at her wedding?
Although the couple has made very little public about their wedding planning, they have mentioned one item that needs to be at their big day. It’s challah!
Benny Blanco is Jewish, and challah is a traditional Jewish bread that is often served for ceremonial or celebratory occasions. So, it will fit right in at their wedding! Challah is made from enriched dough and can be braided into intricate loaves that make for quite a lavish—and delicious—centerpiece. It also makes a great base for French toast or bread pudding.
But it’s not just any challah that Benny wants at the wedding, it’s the challah that his friend Jake Cohen makes. Jake is a recipe developer and New York Times-bestselling cookbook author who throws lavish dinner parties. According to Benny, Jake “makes the best challah I’ve ever had” (a sentiment that Selena also shares). So, I hope Jake is ready to cater this foodie wedding!
Wedding planning can certainly be stressful, and it seems like Selena and Benny are taking their time to enjoy the process. As a frequent—and very fun—wedding guest, I think the food is one of the most important parts. It speaks so much to who the couple is, and it’s a great starting point for any celebration. Let’s just hope that they don’t go the same route as Stanley Tucci and deprive their guests of cake!
