Benny once again showed his love for Selena when the actress celebrated her 32nd birthday in style. “Benny organized the entire weekend as a special treat for Selena,” a source told Us Weekly. “He hosted 10 of her closest friends at his Malibu home for the celebration, going all out with decor, a custom cake, and an amazing meal prepared by a chef.
