How Selena Gomez Reacted to Benny Blanco Being Named a People Sexiest Man Alive

Benny Blanco earned a place in People’s Sexiest Man Alive issue—and his girlfriend, Selena Gomez, celebrated the feat on her Instagram Stories. She shared a photo from the shoot and wrote, “Not only do you love me unconditionally, you always get me my Taco Bell Mexican pizza.”

In a second story, she shared a quote from William C. Hannan that read “I still haven’t figured out how to sit across from you, and not be madly in love with everything you do.” She tagged Blanco in the post.

This is not Gomez’s first tribute to her partner on social media. In July, she called Blanco the love of her life in an affectionate Instagram Story.

In his People interview, Blanco spoke a little about his relationship with Gomez. “I’m a real morning person,” he revealed. “It’s my favorite time to spend with Sel, because we both wake up really early. It’s like our moment before the rest of the world wakes up. I have a true best friend that I get to do everything in the world with, and every day is the best day of my life.”

He also shared his dating advice, advising people to continue doing special things for their partners. “I go all out for every date,” he said. “We go all out for each other. One time Sel was like, ‘Oh, I want to take you on a date.’ We drove somewhere, and she had rented out a whole botanical garden for me. She also likes something so simple. For Valentine’s Day, I got her Taco Bell, I made her movie-theater nachos, I found her favorite pickles from Texas and I deep-fried them for her. Then [I had] all her candies and Hot Cheetos.

“It doesn’t mean spending your entire bank account. The No. 1 thing you need to do on a date is just listen to what the person’s saying. Don’t talk about yourself the whole time. No one cares.”
