Selena Gomez is over the moon because her man, Benny Blanco, just scored a spot in People‘s 2024 Sexiest Men Alive issue! That’s right: the 36-year-old producer, known for making beats and snacks look equally delicious, is officially a card-carrying member of the “Hot Guy Hall of Fame.”
While People crowned John Krasinski with the ultimate title (no shade, Jim Halpert), Benny snagged his own feature, where he dished out tips for “being a sexy gentleman.” Apparently, step one is producing bangers; step two is making people swoon with your quirky charm and possibly your guac recipe.
Selena Gomez, Hype Queen Extraordinaire
During a sneak peek of her upcoming interview on CBS Sunday Morning, Selena couldn’t help but gush about her beau’s big honor.
“That’s my man!” she declared, probably while doing a little celebratory shimmy. “It was very charming,” she added, as if she needed further proof that Benny’s got the sauce.
But Selena didn’t stop there. Oh no, she launched into a heartfelt monologue about Benny being the human equivalent of a warm hug and a Spotify Premium subscription:
“I think for me, I am beyond proud to know there’s someone in the world who cares about every tiny detail of who I am,” she said, possibly referencing the time Benny remembered her Starbucks order and her dog’s middle name. “He supports me, encourages me, inspires me, and motivates me. Honestly, it brings me joy. And, more than anything, he’s just my best friend.”
If that isn’t relationship goals, we don’t know what is. She wrapped it all up with, “I’m really, really lucky,” which is basically Selena code for “I hit the boyfriend jackpot.”
Internet: Losing It
Naturally, the clip of Selena hyping Benny like she’s his personal PR team hit X (formerly known as Twitter), and the fans are eating it up. Watch out, Benny—next time you’re in public, people might start calling you “Sexy Gentleman Blanco.”
Moral of the story? Behind every sexy man is a woman who thinks he’s the best thing since oat milk lattes. Cheers to Benny and Selena—because sexy isn’t just a title, it’s a vibe.
