Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are officially one year into married life, and they celebrated the milestone the most delightfully relatable way possible: by eating a slice of their wedding cake from September 2025. Benny shared a photo on his Instagram Story of the preserved dessert resting on a pink plate that read“LOVE IS LOVE,”with a caption that said it all:“Year old cake never tasted so good.”He also added the line“1 year down… forever to go…”because apparently he’s also a poet now.
The tradition of saving the top tier of a wedding cake was actually new to Benny. According to him, it was Selena’s grandmother who explained the whole thing, which means he learned about the custom well after the wedding was over. And the cake itself had quite the journey before it ever made it to the anniversary. Martin Short once mistook it for a prop and ate part of it with his bare hands. That’s right, a legendary comedian just went for it. After that incident, only six slices remained, and somehow those six made it all the way to the one-year mark.
The couple married on Sept. 27, 2025, in Santa Barbara, California, and kept their anniversary celebration refreshingly understated. No massive party, no splashy getaway, just two people sharing a frozen slice of cake and a sweet caption. It’s the kind of story that reminds us celebrities can be just as sentimental and tradition-loving as the rest of us. Would you eat a piece of wedding cake that’s been in the freezer for a whole year? Let us know in the comments.
