Benny Blanco Finds Humor in Celebrity's Direct Message to Wife Selena Gomez
Music producer Benny Blanco could not contain his amusement upon discovering that a male celebrity had slid into his wife Selena Gomez's direct messages back in 2022. The couple, recently married, shared the entertaining details on how this secret star complimented the pop icon, revealing a playful dynamic in their relationship.
A Bold Shot That Earned Laughter and Praise
During the March 3 episode of Blanco's Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Selena Gomez, at her husband's urging, scrolled through her old direct messages. She uncovered a sweet, emoji-filled note from the mystery admirer, which she described simply as "Just heart eyes" accompanied by fingers-crossed emojis. Benny Blanco, 37, reacted with wide-eyed surprise, asking, "Oh my god. What year was that?" as he processed the timeline.
The unnamed celebrity had liked one of her stories but received no reply, a fact Selena confirmed. Blanco broke it down humorously, noting, "There's nothing. He's saying, fingers that you like me back. There is no response. That's not how it works." What impressed Blanco most was the guy's nerve, as he praised the boldness despite another man reaching out to his now-wife. "He took his shot. It was a good one," Blanco admitted with a grin, to which Gomez agreed wholeheartedly.
No Jealousy, Just Kindness and Sweetness
No jealousy or awkwardness lingered from the incident. Selena Gomez shared, "I think it's kind. If anything, it was very sweet. It did not feel inappropriate. It was the first time I've ever seen it done that way!" This light-hearted reveal fits perfectly with the couple's playful and supportive vibe, showcasing their ability to laugh together over such moments.
Couple's Playful Bond and Recent Backlash
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, married since late 2025, thrive on mutual support and humor. Just weeks earlier, they faced backlash over Blanco's bare, dirty feet on the podcast, but Gomez shut it down sweetly by posting a kissing video on her Instagram Stories with the caption, "I fall more and more in love with you every day, my love." On air, she even pecked his toe, prompting Blanco to joke, "It made me feel good. I love you so much."
Gomez often gushes about their strong bond, elaborating on the episode, "He has been the best thing that's ever happened to me. He's still better than anyone I've ever been with." She also flashed a jeweled "B" ring on her Stories, nodding to Blanco. Their timeline sparkles with moments from 2023 Instagram teases to Golden Globes kisses and Emmys date nights.
Benny Blanco echoes this sentiment, having said in past chats, "I was so sure that I was gonna marry her. I just knew." This story of the celebrity DM adds another layer to their fun and loving relationship, highlighting how they handle outside attention with grace and laughter.
