Selena Gomez Responds After Benny Blanco’s Viral ‘Dirty Feet’ Podcast Moment

Singer and actor Selena Gomez has seemingly responded to online backlash surrounding husband Benny Blanco after a viral podcast clip sparked heated discussion across social media platforms.

The controversy began following Blanco’s appearance on the debut episode of Friends Keep Secrets, which he co-hosts with Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco. During the episode, Blanco appeared barefoot on a couch, with viewers noticing what they described as visibly dirty feet. Screenshots quickly circulated online, triggering widespread commentary.

The situation intensified when Blanco jokingly passed gas into the microphone during the recording, asking whether the sound had been captured. While those present in the studio reacted with laughter, many online viewers were less amused. Social media users debated his public image and grooming habits, with some comments turning critical.

In the days that followed, Gomez posted a video on Instagram showing the couple sharing a kiss. She captioned the post with a heartfelt message: “I fall more and more in love with you every day my love.” Many fans interpreted the timing of the post as a subtle show of support for her husband amid the online scrutiny.

Divided Fan Reactions

Reactions from fans have been mixed. While some defended Blanco’s humour and carefree personality, others questioned his presentation on a public platform. A section of online users even criticised Gomez’s choice of partner, sparking debates within fan communities.

Blanco has previously addressed his unconventional hygiene habits. In a 2024 interview, he mentioned that he does not believe in frequent showering, explaining that natural skin oils need time to replenish. He also joked about wanting to smell like “tobacco” and “cotton candy” simultaneously — comments that had already generated discussion at the time.

About the Podcast

Friends Keep Secrets is described as a relaxed, unfiltered conversation series featuring friends, creatives, and occasional celebrity guests. The podcast embraces humour and spontaneity, aligning with Blanco’s comedic persona.

Gomez and Blanco began dating in 2023 and were married in a private ceremony in Santa Barbara in September 2025. Despite the online chatter, Gomez’s recent post suggests she remains publicly supportive of her husband.

As social media continues to debate the viral moment, the couple appears focused on their relationship, with Gomez making it clear that the controversy has not affected her feelings.
