Selena Gomez has been gushing over her boyfriend Benny Blanco for months. The couple have appeared to be going strong. Of course, they never seem to hesitate to share snapshots of their life together on social media. However, new rumors are suggesting that the former Wizards of Waverly Place star might have used her billionaire status to work her boyfriend into a coveted spot for People Magazine’s latest Sexiest Man issue, and fans aren’t shocked.
According to a new blind item revealed on TikTok, it’s alleged that Selena Gomez shelled out some major cash in order to have Benny Blanco featured in the magazine. Of course, he didn’t win the top honor. That went to actor John Krasinski. However, he did get an honorable mention in the issue. The blind item claims that Gomez coughed up some serious dough to get Blanco in the magazine. However, it wasn’t for his benefit. Instead, she did it for her own image.
“Y’all say what y’all will a man that will cook and make you laugh and is successfull in his own right .. I can see it,” one person stated.
“We don’t need a blind item.. we are dead sure of it,” another said.
“I think she loves who he is and how he treats her but she hates how he looks and how everyone sees him,” a third person stated.
“This is the only explanation,” a fourth comment read.
Did Selena Gomez Pay To Have Benny Blanco Featured in People’s Sexiest Man Issue?
In the magazine, Blanco seemingly shared the reason why he made the list of Hollywood’s sexiest men, and it has everything to do with the attentive and devoted boyfriend he is to Gomez. He told People that he goes “all out” for every single date with the singer and listens to everything she has to say.
He also claimed that he has a huge advantage over other guys, because he’s a talented cook. Blanco also revealed that he’s very clean. Sadly, the music producer got a lot of backlash for being included in the issue. In the past, he’s been open about believing that Gomez is out of his league. However, fans do seem to appreciate the way he treats the star like a queen in their relationship.
For her part, Selena took to social media to reveal that Benny loves her “unconditionally” and that he always brings her one of her favorite treats from Taco Bell.
In his photoshoot, he’s seen wearing a black suit as he lays across a dinner table. He goes barefoot for the photo, showing off his painted toenails as she stares intensely into the camera.
It’s clear that to Selena Gomez, her boyfriend Benny Blanco is the sexiest man alive. While he didn’t take the cover of the issue, he found himself in good company alongside other stars who got honorable mentions in the magazine. Men such as Johnathan Bailey, Joe Jonas, Jeremey Allen White, Jacob Elordi, Harry Styles, Robert Pattinson, Jason and Travis Kelce, and many more were all featured in the issue.
