Selena Gomez, the renowned actress and founder of Rare Beauty, publicly expressed her deep affection for her husband, music producer Benny Blanco, in a heartfelt social media post on Wednesday. The 33-year-old celebrity shared an intimate video on her Instagram Stories, capturing tender moments with her 37-year-old spouse, accompanied by a loving caption that read, "I fall more and more in love with you every day my love."
Affectionate Display Follows Online Controversy
This public declaration of devotion arrives shortly after Benny Blanco faced significant backlash from fans over his appearance during the launch of his new podcast, Friends Keep Secrets. Viewers were notably distracted by his visibly dirty feet, which he placed on the sofa throughout the recording session, leading to a wave of criticism on social media platforms.
Fan Reactions to Podcast Debut
Numerous fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their dismay, with comments ranging from calls for improved hygiene to expressions of sympathy for Gomez. One user remarked, "Bro needs to take a shower and hire a better house cleaner," while another stated, "I am HORRIFIED." The incident sparked widespread discussion, with many questioning the couple's dynamic and Blanco's cleanliness habits.
Details of the Loving Instagram Video
The video shared by Selena Gomez begins with the actress looking cozy in a white turtleneck as she leans in to kiss Benny Blanco. She then flashes a bright smile at the camera before planting another kiss on his cheek. The couple concludes the clip by leaning their heads together, beaming happily, followed by one final kiss from Gomez. This visual display of affection starkly contrasts the recent online discourse surrounding Blanco's podcast appearance.
Context of the Podcast Launch
Benny Blanco officially launched his podcast, Friends Keep Secrets, on Tuesday in collaboration with Dave Burd, also known as Lil Dicky, and his wife, Kristin Batalucco. The show features A-list guests, including Ed Sheeran, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Paul Rudd. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Blanco described the project as blurring the lines between various media formats, emphasizing its creative and interactive elements.
Previous Public Moments and Wedding Details
This is not the first time the couple's public interactions have garnered attention. Back in December, a viral clip showed Gomez attempting to hold Blanco's hand during a Los Angeles Lakers game, only for him to appear unaware as he walked ahead with his hands in his pockets. The moment sparked discussions online about their relationship dynamics.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco tied the knot in a lavish ceremony last September at the Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara, California. The star-studded event included notable guests such as Taylor Swift, Paris Hilton, Steve Martin, and Ed Sheeran, alongside friends from Gomez's Disney career, highlighting their prominent place in the entertainment industry.
