Selena Gomez has the internet talking after kissing husband Benny Blanco’s feet during a recent podcast appearance, just days after the producer faced online scrutiny over what viewers called his “dirty feet.”
The moment unfolded on the latest episode of Friends Keep Secrets, Benny’s podcast with Dave Burd, known professionally as Lil Dicky, and Kristin Batalucco. Nearly 50 minutes into the episode, published Tuesday, March 3, Selena Gomez, 33, leaned over from her spot on the floor and planted a kiss on Blanco’s index toe while he lounged nearby mid-conversation.
The unexpected gesture caused Benny Blanco, 37, to pause and look down before smiling and glancing toward his co-hosts. “You like that?” he joked, directing the comment to Burd and Batalucco. Selena playfully slapped his leg and replied, “Oh, don’t make it a moment!” Blanco responded warmly, saying he liked it and that it made him feel good, adding that he loved her. Selena then doubled down on the affection by resting her cheek on his toes as he spoke.
The playful exchange prompted Burd to reflect on the couple’s early days, recalling the first time he saw them show public affection in Malibu and thinking their relationship would work out.
The viral foot kiss comes one week after Benny drew criticism during the debut episode of his podcast on February 24. In that episode, the producer appeared barefoot while lounging on a couch inside Burd and Batalucco’s home. Viewers quickly took to the YouTube comment section, pointing out that Benny’s feet appeared dirty and questioning why they were resting on the couch cushions. Comments labeled his feet “filthy” and urged him to wash them.
Despite the backlash, Selena’s appearance on the podcast offered insight into the couple’s dynamic, which she described as healthy. The affectionate display suggests the pair remain unfazed by online commentary, even as social media continues to debate the now-viral feet moment.
