The critics aren’t backing off Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. The lovebirds debuted their romance in December 2023 to mixed reactions. Many didn’t think the music producer was a right fit for the Disney alum. However, Gomez and Blanco shunned the haters, shouting their love from the rooftops. Unfortunately, the public declarations of love aren’t doing too much to silence the trolls, especially not with Blanco’s latest style decision.
The Eastside producer thrilled his Instagram followers with a photo of his fresh pedicure on his Instagram Stories. He opted for a dramatic design done by nail artist @NailedByTav. The artist painted the toes to look like a “Persian Rug,” as implied by the title. Blanco’s toenails featured several colors, including pink, blue, black, red, and white. All toes were decorated with white strands to depict the ends of a carpet. The nail artist shared photos of the songwriter’s feet on Instagram, prompting comments from fans.
Some Internet users didn’t find Blanco’s pedicure appealing and shared their harsh opinions. “He disgusts me no matter how hard I try, but I’m going to get over it in order to support Selena’s choices,” wrote one fan. A second comment read, “Nope…..and the hair is ratchet as f**k on dem toes!” A third fan questioned:
“How does Selena find this sexually attractive…?”
A fourth follower described the pedicure as “disgusting.” Another remarked, “She’s gotta be a clone ’cause no way 2015 Selena wouldn’t have gagged at this.”
Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco Going Strong With Engagement Rumors
The pedicure drama comes just days after Blanco and Gomez embraced the engagement rumors with an appearance at the Malibu Chili Cook-off event. The pair attended the cooking competition on Labor Day, dressed super casually and holding hands. The Only Murders in the Building actress donned a white top over matching white linen pants and half-slippers, while Blanco had on a green short-sleeved shirt with light grey pants and green slippers. Recently, the duo has been plagued with engagement rumors.
It all began when the singer posted a suspicious photo from an August 8 date night with Blanco. She put a heart emoji to cover her ring finger, sparking reactions. Gomez further fueled things when she followed a famous wedding planning agency on TikTok. Despite fans’ questions, neither party has said anything to quell the rumors.
