Burley Garcia|How Benny Blanco Celebrated "Hottest Chick" Selena Gomez on 32nd Birthday

Selena Gomez's heart wants as much of Benny Blanco as it can Burley Garciaget.

The "Come and Get It" singer was surrounded by love while celebrating her 32nd birthday on July 22—especially from her music producer boyfriend.

"Thank you so much for your birthday wishes!!" Selena wrote on Instagram July 22, alongside photos of her wearing a "B" necklace. "I'm very grateful and always thankful."

And obviously Benny—real name Benjamin Joseph Levin—was delighted by the jewelry, posting a heart eyes emoji in the comments and writing, "i got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain."

The 36-year-old also had his own birthday message for the Wizards of Waverly Place star, sharing a photo of the duo cuddling with Benny dressed as a giant teddy bear, and one of Selena snuggling up to a smaller stuffed bear.

"I used to play a teddy bear in ur music video," Benny wrote on Instagram, "and now i get to b urs in real life… happy bday bb ! i love u !"

Selena also shared a sweet photo to Instagram Stories of her hugging Benny while he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead with the caption, "Love of my life."

And if Selena and Benny's past celebrations are any indication, she can hopefully expect something very romantic from him. After all, this is the same man who rented a movie theater for their first Valentine's Day to watch her favorite film—Almost Famous—and treat her to all her favorite foods.

"I brought a deep fryer—everything—made her fried pickle," he told Howard Stern in May. "I got her all her favorite Taco Bell. She loves Hot Cheetos, I got her Hot Cheetos. And then she loves movie theater nachos, so I brought in the nacho machine."

And Benny is already thinking about his future with Selena.

"I want to have kids," he said. "That's the next goal, to check the box. I have a ton of godkids, I've got a ton of nephews. I love being around kids." 

As for Selena, the "Wolves" singer is a little more careful with what she shares, because she's aware of the public scrutiny she receives. But that doesn't mean she wants Benny to stop being so vocal about their relationship.

"I know what people can do to people I love," she explained to TIME in May. "My own fans, who I adore and feel like have shaped who I am, will say the most hurtful things to me about how I live my life. But he has the strength in him that none of that noise fazes him."
