Selena Gomez sparks buzz after kissing Benny Blanco’s feet

Selena Gomez surprises everyone with unexpected podcast moment.

There’s a lot that Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have been through together, like getting married last year. But this week, they hit a… new relationship milestone. Blanco’s podcast Friends Keep Secrets recently had an episode where Gomez kissed her husband on the feet. This came after Blanco went barefoot on the first episode of the show last month, which was called “dirty” on social media.

“Oh, don’t make it a moment!” Gomez groaned to Blanco on the podcast after the foot kiss (sorry, Selena, but I’m officially taking on the responsibility of making it a moment), with Blanco responding, “No. I wasn’t. I liked it. It made me feel good. I love you so much.”

I mean… okay! Listen, I just want Gomez and Blanco to be happy, and if the devoted-bordering-on-quasi-religious act of Gomez kissing her husband’s feet accomplishes that for them, that’s great, right?

Recently, Emerald Fennell has made me think a lot about the best ways to show romantic love. In a strange way, I find it cute that Gomez goes out of her way to show love and respect for a part of her partner’s body that the internet has deemed gross. Even though my feet aren’t always as clean as they should be (I wear my Rick Owens Birkenstocks almost every day, which gives me a weird foot tan line and makes me want to soak my toes in the tub almost every day), I still want to be worshiped!

For example, should guys wash their feet before putting them on a clean couch? Most likely! Is it cute that Gomez seems to be handling the situation better than I would if Blanco didn’t? Of course! “Love is weird and sometimes gross,” Liz Lemon of 30 Rock once said in a speech at the wedding of her ex-boyfriend.
