Singer Selena Gomez has been the center of controversy over her relationship with Benny Blanco. Selena's display of affection for her husband has sparked a storm of comments on social media.
About a week ago, during the debut episode of Benny Blanco's new podcast with his friend Davey Bird, the producer was embroiled in controversy. Viewers pointed out Blanco's feet, which they thought were very dirty.
After a heated argument, Benny Blanco and Davey Byrd appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The producer explained that there was a lot of dust and dirt on the set, which is why he was embarrassed.
In the second episode of the podcast, Benny Blanco's wife, singer Selena Gomez, appeared. The couple talked about their personal lives, mental health, their wedding last year, and plans for children.
At one point, the singer leaned over and kissed Benny Blanco's foot. The sweet gesture made the producer smile. Selena replied, “Don't make a big deal out of it.”
