Selena Gomez has been seen pecking her husband Benny Blanco’s toes a week after his dirty soles courted controversy online.
The foot kiss was seen on the latest episode of the podcast Friends Keep Secrets, which Blanco hosts with rapper Lil Dicky and his wife, Kristin Batalucco, according to Today.
“You like that?” Blanco teasingly asked his co-hosts after the kiss.
Gomez reportedly slapped his leg before quipping, “Oh, don’t make it a moment!” to which Blanco replied, “No. I wasn’t. I liked it made me feel good. I love you so much.”

Blanco was dragged mercilessly online after last week’s episode saw the music producer lift one leg and fart, then only seconds later, place his feet, on which dirt can be seen covering his soles, on a couch.
“Benny dawg wash your dawgs,” one disgusted commenter wrote on the YouTube video.
“Next time tell Benny to take his feet off before coming in the house. Them things were disgustingly dirty,” said another.
“Selena needs to divorce him and find someone better,” wrote a third.
“First of all, it’s the facility’s fault. It’s not mine,” Blanco explained when late-night host Jimmy Kimmel asked him about the incident.
“I have great feet,” he said, saying that the floors at Lil Dicky’s house were unclean.
This incident is not the first time Blanco’s hygiene has been the source of public debate. A couple of years ago, the 37-year-old revealed he does not practise daily bathing.
”Some people I know shower two to three times a day," he said in a 2024 interview with People.
“But I feel like the oils on your skin don’t have time to rejuvenate and get juicy.”

People reported Lil Dicky turned to Blanco and Gomez after the foot kiss and recalled that when he first saw them showing a public display of affection, he thought, “I think this is going to work out”.
“I try not to show too much,” Blanco said.
“I use every bone in my body not to be googly-eyed over her and not want to kiss her and jump her bones all the time.”
Blanco and Gomez married in September last year after an almost two-year courtship.
Their lavish clifftop wedding ceremony attracted an A-list guestlist which included Taylor Swift, Paul Rudd, Paris Hilton, and Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin.
