Benny Blanco is expanding his career to include podcasting, and his debut episode of Friends Keep Secrets certainly had people talking—about his feet. Blanco and his friend Lil Dicky hosted the first episode of their podcast in Lil Dicky’s living room, and Blanco made himself right at home, kicking his feet up on the couch to reveal his filthy feet.

Selena Gomez, though, doesn’t seem to be too bothered, as she posted an Instagram story shortly after the drama made headlines writing, “I fall more in love every day.” Keep reading for more information.

Selena Gomez Defends Benny Blanco

Benny and Lil Dicky, who’s real name is David Andrew Burd, launched the first episode of their podcast, Friends Keep Secrets, earlier this week, with the video version dropping on YouTube. This, however, might not have been the best move for their pilot episode, as Benny Blanco’s bare feet were on display for the world to see, and the bottoms of his feet were absolutely filthy.

Lil Dicky and Benny Blanco did appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! a few days later and tried to defend Blanco’s dirty feet: “It was the first day we filmed anything, so crew was coming in and out,” Lil Dicky explained, adding that the floor “probably was a little bit dirty.”

Benny Blanco's Dirty Feet Make A Podcast Appearance

Despite this rather gross faux pas, Selena Gomez doesn't seem bothered at all. The same day the podcast dropped, the Rare Beauty founder posted a photo of the two of them sharing a kiss with the caption, "I fall more and more in love with you every day my love."

Many fans had different reactions, and weren't afraid to say so on social media. "LITERALLY WHY would she marry him out of all the men in the world," one person wrote on X.

"Good podcast, wash your feet benny and wash the floors," wrote another.

"Benny's filthy feet? I can't wait to watch the next one! NOT!" added the next.
