Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have long been regarded as one of the most talked-about celebrity couples, frequently drawing attention for their public displays of affection and social media interactions. Recently, however, the spotlight shifted to Benny Blanco following the release of a clip from his podcast that circulated widely online and sparked mixed reactions among viewers.
Benny recently launched the pilot episode of his podcast Friends Keep Secrets, co-hosted with Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco. While the 49-minute episode aimed to introduce audiences to the new show, discussions quickly centered on Benny’s informal on-screen demeanor. During the conversation, he appeared barefoot with visibly unclean feet resting on a couch. In another moment, he passed gas mid-conversation and joked about whether the microphone had captured it.
These moments quickly became talking points across social media platforms, where viewers shared a range of reactions. Many online users expressed surprise at the casual setting and presentation, with some commenting humorously while others were more critical of the situation. The clip was widely circulated, prompting ongoing discussions about public perception and celebrity behavior in unscripted formats.

Amid the online chatter, Selena Gomez appeared to respond in her own understated way. She shared a monochrome photograph on her Instagram Story showing herself kissing Benny Blanco. Accompanying the image was a short message expressing affection: she wrote that she falls more in love with him every day. The post was shared alongside the song “Gentle Sunlight” by James Quinn.
Selena’s gesture was widely interpreted as a show of support for her husband during a moment of heightened public scrutiny. The couple married in an intimate ceremony in Santa Barbara on September 27, 2025, following a relationship that had largely remained private in its early stages.
Their romance first drew public attention in 2023, when speculation about their relationship began to circulate online. Later that year, Selena confirmed the relationship through a comment on a fan page, describing Benny as deeply meaningful in her life.
Since then, the couple has continued to share occasional glimpses into their personal life while maintaining a relatively low profile. The recent podcast moment and Selena’s subsequent post illustrate how public reactions and personal responses can intersect in the age of social media, where even casual content can quickly gain widespread attention.
