Selena Gomez Kisses Benny Blanco's Foot on Camera, and the Internet's Reaction is Exactly What You'd Expect
Selena Gomez, known for her role in “Only Murders in the Building,” surprised fans with an unexpected display of affection towards her husband, producer Benny Blanco. The moment unfolded during a recent episode of the “Friends Keep Secrets” podcast.
On Tuesday, as Gomez and Blanco engaged in a lighthearted conversation with co-hosts Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco, she leaned down and kissed Blanco’s foot. His reaction was a mix of surprise and amusement as he quipped, “You like that?”
“Oh, don’t make it a moment!” Gomez shot back, playfully slapping his leg, showcasing their easy rapport.
Fans can catch this amusing exchange around the 48:10 mark of the episode. Despite Gomez’s lighthearted plea, social media erupted with commentary, turning the foot kiss into a trending topic.
One user on X humorously remarked, “choosing to believe this is AI generated to preserve my sanity,” while another added, “That’s one way to keep the romance toe-tally alive! Who’s got the weirder couple quirks?”
Conversely, some viewers defended the couple's antics as typical for committed relationships. “People in relationships doing people in relationships things being news is really funny Selena likes Benny how he is, that’s why they’re married,” one comment read.
This playful moment came on the heels of another memorable incident from the podcast's premiere episode last week, where Blanco caused a stir by propping his feet up on a sofa, revealing them to be dirty. He also made headlines for an audible fart during the show.
However, those who focused solely on the foot kiss missed a heartfelt discussion about Gomez and Blanco’s marriage. The couple tied the knot last September after two years of dating. “I want her to shine and be her own independent woman. So I try so hard,” Blanco shared. “I use every bone in my body not to be googly-eyed over her and not want to kiss her and jump her bones all the time.”
Gomez reciprocated the sentiment, describing their relationship as “one of the greatest things of life.”
As fans continue to tune into “Friends Keep Secrets,” they can anticipate more candid moments in future episodes. The show is designed as an “intimate hang,” blending elements of podcasting, livestreaming, and sitcoms while featuring guests like Gwyneth Paltrow and Ed Sheeran.
Yet, whether it will receive critical acclaim remains uncertain. Shortly after the latest episode aired, New York Magazine’s Vulture blog labeled it “a must-watch in the most derogatory sense of the word.”
