Selena Gomez has proudly gushed over the fact her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, was nominated as a Sexiest Man Alive.
The 32-year-old singer and actress has been dating 36-year-old music producer Blanco since summer 2023 and this year he was crowned one of People Magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive.
Gomez has proudly endorsed the honour, telling CBS Sunday Morning, “That’s my man! It was very charming.”
Blanco was in good company for the 2024 awards – with Wicked actor Jonathan Bailey, Twisters star Glen Powell, and singer Joe Jonas also in the line-up.
The Only Murders In The Building star gave insight into her romance with Blanco, declaring, “(I am) beyond proud to know that there is someone in the world who deeply cares about every tiny detail about who I am.”
And she added, “And to have someone support me, encourage me, inspire me and motivate me, it brings me joy. More than anything, he’s just my best friend. I’m really, really lucky.”
Blanco shared similar sentiments about her when he was interviewed by People as part of his award.
The I Can’t Get Enough hitmaker said of Gomez, “(She is) a true best friend that I get to do everything in the world with, and every day is the best day of my life.”
And describing a dream date that he once treated her to, he revealed, “For Valentine’s Day, I got her Taco Bell, I made her movie-theatre nachos, I found her favourite pickles from Texas and I deep-fried them for her. Then (I had) all her candies and Hot Cheetos.”
