Selena Gomez gushes about Benny Blanco after he lands in People’s Sexiest Man Alive issue

Lovely Selena Gomez praised her boyfriend Benny Blanco on social media after he received an honorable mention in People magazine’s 2024 Sexiest Man Alive issue.

“Not only do you love me unconditionally… You always get me my Mexican Taco Bell pizza,” the 32-year-old Emilia Perez star wrote on her Instagram Story on Monday alongside a photo of the 36-year-old music producer from his People photo shoot .

Blanco appeared in the picture lying on a dining table, wearing a black suit and no shoes, and opening a silver plate of food.

In another Instagram Story, Gomez shared a quote directed at her boyfriend that read, “I still haven’t figured out how to sit across from you and not be madly in love with everything you do.”

Despite appearing in the long-awaited issue of People magazine, Blanco wasn’t aiming for the magazine’s top spot in the Sexiest Man category. This honor will be announced Tuesday night on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

However, in the meantime, Blanco gave fans a glimpse into what makes him such a stud by sharing how well he treats Gomez and thinks she’s head over heels for him.

“I [still] Give it your all on every date,” he told People. “That doesn’t mean you have to spend your entire bank account. It means paying attention and listening.”

The author of “Open Wide: A Cookbook for Friends” emphasized that one of his strengths is cooking.

“Even if you’re terrible at cooking, [your partner will] “Like it because you did,” he advised.

“Ask your partner what they want to eat. Don’t try to make them what you want to eat. If you don’t know how to make it, learn.”

Blanco’s other tips for extra sex appeal included having first date experiences, dressing confidently, giving gifts and prioritizing self-care — even if he doesn’t shower every day.

“I’m really clean, but I don’t shower every day,” he admitted. “Some people I know shower two to three times a day, but I feel like the oils on your skin don’t have time to regenerate and lubricate.”

However, despite Gomez’s seal of approval, many people expressed on social media that they don’t believe Blanco deserves a spot on the People’s List.

“Benny Blanco and the Sexiest Man Alive should never be in the same sentence,” one critic wrote on X, receiving more than 100,000 likes.

However, Blanco himself has said in interviews that he believes Gomez is out of his league.

“I wake up every day, look in the mirror and ask myself, ‘How did this happen? But until someone finds out – phew!’ he said on “Today with Hoda and Jenna” in May.

Blanco and Gomez have been together since 2023. The Only Murders in the Building star previously said that no one has ever loved her as much as the record producer.

“I’ve never been loved like this before,” she told Vanity Fair in September. “He was just a light. A perfect light in my life. He is my best friend. I love telling him everything.”
