A Birthday Celebration in Italy
Selena Gomez marked her 34th birthday with a trip to Italy, sharing personal moments from the celebration on social media. The actress and singer posted photos of herself blowing out birthday candles against a cityscape, with her husband, producer Benny Blanco, confirming in the comments that he captured the images. Blanco, who famously avoids air travel, reportedly crossed the Atlantic by boat to join Gomez for the occasion.
The couple was spotted dining at Trattoria della Santa in Bologna, Italy. The restaurant’s owner, Riccardo Lelli, described the pair as “wonderful guests” who were “good-hearted” and appreciative of the service provided during their visit.
Professional Commitments in London
The Italian getaway coincides with a scheduled break for Gomez, who is currently in London filming the sixth season of the Hulu mystery-comedy series Only Murders in the Building. This season marks a significant shift for the production, as the show moves its setting across the Atlantic from its traditional Manhattan backdrop. Gomez has been seen on set alongside series co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short.
While production remains underway, interest in Gomez’s style has persisted, with fans tracking her practical choices for city life. Recently, Gomez was photographed in London wearing Cole Haan GrandPro Tennis II sneakers. The footwear, noted for its lightweight build and foam cushioning, has become a focus for fans looking to replicate her “off-duty” wardrobe while navigating the city.
Rare Impact Fund Milestone
Beyond personal milestones, Gomez used her platform to highlight the Rare Impact Fund, which is currently celebrating its sixth year. The fund focuses on expanding access to youth mental health care. In an Instagram post, Gomez expressed gratitude for the community’s support, noting, “Watching this community come together to support youth mental health has been the greatest gift.” She encouraged followers to learn more about the initiative through her social media links.
As of late July 2026, an official release date for the sixth season of Only Murders in the Building has not been announced. The show was renewed in October 2025 following the conclusion of its fifth season.
