Benny Blanco reacts after Selena Gomez uncovers old DM’s from a mystery celebrity who tried his luck

Music producer Benny Blanco could not hide his amusement when he discovered a male celebrity had slid into his wife Selena Gomez’s direct messages back in 2022. The couple, fresh off their wedding, spilled the fun details on how the secret star complimented Selena Gomez.

A bold shot that won 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 urging, uncovering a sweet, emoji-filled note from the mystery admirer.




Selena Gomez described the message simply. “Just heart eyes,” she said. Fingers crossed emojis followed too. Benny Blanco, 37, reacted with wide-eyed surprise. “Oh my god. What year was that?” he asked, processing the timeline. The unnamed celeb had liked her story, but got no reply. Selena confirmed it. “No, there’s nothing that he responded to. It does say the message would respond a story.” Benny Blanco broke it down. “There’s nothing. He’s saying, fingers that you like me back. There is no response. That’s not how it works.”

What impressed Benny Blanco most was the guy’s nerve. Despite another man reaching out to his now-wife, he praised the boldness. “He took his shot. It was a good one,” Benny Blanco admitted with a grin. Selena Gomez agreed wholeheartedly. No jealousy or awkwardness lingered. “I think it’s kind. If anything, it was very sweet,” she shared. “It did not feel inappropriate. It was the first time I’ve ever seen it done that way!”


This light-hearted reveal fits the couple’s playful vibe. Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, married since late 2025, thrive on mutual support and humor. Just weeks earlier, backlash hit over Benny Blanco’s bare, dirty feet on the podcast. Selena Gomez shut it down sweetly. She posted a kissing video on Instagram Stories. “I fall more and more in love with you every day, my love,” she captioned it. On air, she even pecked his toe. Benny Blanco joked about it. After asking if she liked it, he added, “It made me feel good. I love you so much.”

Selena Gomez gushes often about their bond. “He has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. He’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with,” she elaborated on the episode. She flashed a jeweled “B” ring on Stories too, nodding to Benny Blanco. Their timeline sparkles: from 2023 Instagram teases to Golden Globes kisses and Emmys date nights. Benny Blanco echoes the sentiment. On past chats, he said, “I was so sure that I was gonna marry her.
