Music producer Benny Blanco couldn’t hide his amusement when he discovered that a male celebrity had slipped into his wife Selena Gomez’s DMs in 2022. The couple, who were newlyweds, recounted the fun details about how the secret star complimented Selena Gomez.
A bold shot that got a laugh
During the March 3 episode of Blanco’s Friends Keep Secrets podcast. Selena Gomez, ever the poised star, scrolled through her old DMs at Benny Blanco’s request, revealing a sweet emoji-filled message from the mystery fan.Selena Gomez described the message simply. “Only heart eyes,” she said. Crossed fingers emojis were also followed. Benny Blanco, 37, reacted with surprise. “Oh my God. What year was that?” He asked as he processed the schedule.
The unnamed star liked her story, but did not receive any response. Selena confirmed this. “No, he didn’t get anything back. It says the message will be in response to a story.” Benny Blanco broke it.
“There’s nothing. He’s like, ‘Your fingers love me back.’ There’s no response. That’s not how it works.”What impressed Benny Blanco most was the man’s nerve. Although another man reached out to his current wife, he praised the boldness. “He hit his shot,” Benny Blanco admitted with a smile. “It was a good shot.” Selena Gomez agreed wholeheartedly. There was no jealousy or embarrassment left. “I think he’s cute. If anything, he was too cute,” she shared. “It didn’t feel inappropriate. This was the first time I’d seen it that way!”This light reveal suits the couple’s fun atmosphere.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, who have been married since late 2025, thrive on mutual support and humor. Just weeks ago, there was backlash over Benny Blanco’s dirty, bare feet on the podcast. Selena Gomez closed it gently. She posted a kissing video on Instagram Stories. She commented on the photo, saying: “I fall in love with you more and more every day, my love.” She even tapped his toe on air.
Benny Blanco joked about it. After asking her if she liked it, he added: “It made me feel good.
“I love you so much.”Selena Gomez often gushes about their engagement. “He was the best thing that ever happened to me. He’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with,” she explained in the episode. She flashed a jeweled “B” ring in the stories as well, and nodded to Benny Blanco. Their schedule sparkles: from Instagram teases of 2023 to Golden Globes kisses and Emmys date nights. Benny Blanco echoes this sentiment. “I was sure I would marry her,” he said in previous conversations.
I just knew.
