Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have never been shy about showing their affection. But their latest podcast moment has left the internet completely stunned.
During a recent episode of Blanco’s ‘Friends Keep Secrets‘ podcast, the singer-actress surprised everyone when she leaned in and kissed his toe in the middle of a conversation. This comes after fans caught sight of his “dirty feet” and made comments about his hygiene.

So, Selena’s spontaneous gesture caught everyone in the room off guard. Instantly, Blanco turned toward his co-hosts, Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco, and jokingly asked them, “You like that?” However, Gomez immediately slapped his leg and told him not to “make it a moment.”
Despite that, Blanco didn’t hide how much he appreciated the gesture. He explained that he wasn’t trying to turn it into a big spectacle. Instead, he just liked the moment, and it made him feel good. He then told Gomez he loved her very much, and she warmly echoed the sentiment while resting her head against his feet.

Later in the episode, the conversation changed its course when Lil Dicky remembered the first time he saw Gomez and Blanco show affection in public. That memory prompted Blanco to explain why he usually tries to avoid too much PDA when they are around other people.
According to Blanco, Gomez is “such her own entity,” and he wants her to shine as her own independent woman. Because of that, he often holds himself back and tries not to look overly obsessed with her in public. He admitted that he constantly stops himself from acting “googly-eyed” or from wanting to kiss her all the time.

Still, he shared that watching Gomez kiss his toe during the podcast genuinely made his day. While the couple laughed off the moment inside the studio, the reaction online was far not at lighthearted once the clip began circulating.
Soon after, many social media users on X reacted with shock and disbelief. One person even joked that, for their mental health, someone should “please tell me this is AI.” Meanwhile, others were more blunt, calling the clip “disgusting,” “nasty,” and “embarrassing.”
Some critics went even further, directing their frustration at Gomez herself. One user urged the actress to “stand the f–k up,” while another wrote, “Selena girl no d–k is worth all this.” The backlash also brought back criticism from the previous week’s episode. During the podcast’s premiere, viewers saw Blanco lounging on the couch, passing gas, and showing his bare feet during the recording. And, it quickly went viral and drew negative reactions online.
