Benny Blanco has left fans seriously divided over his 'gross' bathtub gesture for Selena Gomez.
Now, it's clear every couple has their own unique traditions when it comes to celebrating Valentine's Day but Blanco, 36, clearly took things to the next level when it came to celebrating the day of love.
Explaining to his 2.1 million Instagram followers that his fiancée, Gomez, 32, 'isn't much of a flowers girl', Blanco revealed exactly what he did to get around the problem.

He shared a clip of a trail of tortilla chips on the floor leading to the words 'I [HEART] YOU' next to a bathroom - before panning to a bathtub completely filled with melted cheese.
The record producer captioned the clip: "When your fiancé isn't much of a flowers girl."
Take a look here:
Needless to say, the swapping out of rose petals for cheese was something that sparked quite the debate online, with one Instagram user slamming: "Like WHY would he do that?"
"Like y'all been marinating in that tub idc how clean u think it is," hit out a second social media user.
A third piped up: "Disgusting to see anyone have food or eat in a bathroom."
"I’m sorry but Benny just grosses me outttt," penned a fourth, while another said: "Honestly a bath drawn with a little table with chips and queso next to it would have been enough."
And a final critic branded the cheesy gesture an 'unimaginable ick'.
Others, however, were far less grossed out by Blanco's gesture, with one fan writing: "Ummmm IT WAS A FAKE BATHTUB and… as a queso lover I totally love and understand this gesture.
"What are you supposed to give to a billionaire for Valentine’s Day? He knew exactly what would melt her heart more than 1000 roses… which I’m sure she got as well."
A second chimed in: "They are happy who cares!"
"Leave them alone, not like you’re the one eating it!" echoed a third, while a fourth replied: "Oh stop ppl. Lighten up. It's fun! She very likely LOVES queso."
And a final Instagram user added: "Omg relax it was a joke lol. Ur acting like she isn't a billionaire who can get a new bathtub!"
In other news, the 32-year-old 'Who Says' singer took to Instagram on Thursday night (February 13) to share an exciting update with her 421 million followers, and it's safe to say it's gone down extremely well with fans.
She shared a series of snaps with her husband-to-be which included shots of them in bed together and one of him kissing her on the cheek.
She captioned the post: "I always trick you guys! My NEW album I Said I Love You First with my best friend @itsbennyblanco, is out on 3/21. Our first song, 'Scared of Loving You' is out now on all streaming platforms.
"Merchandise and signed products for the album are available for pre-order now. We can’t wait to share this special project with you soon!"
