Benny Blanco Reacts to Mystery Celeb Who Slid Into Selena Gomez’s DMs
The heart wants what it wants—just ask the mystery celeb who slid into Selena Gomez’s DMs.
While going through her direct messages on husband Benny Blanco‘s podcast Friends Keep Secrets, the Only Murders in the Building star revealed that a male celebrity once sent her a flirty message, prompting Benny to deliver one hilarious response.
“Just heart eyes,” Selena said on the March 3 episode after Benny urged her to see if the male celeb—whose name was bleeped out—had DM’ed her. “And fingers crossed [emojis].”
“Oh my god,” Benny, 37, said in response. “What year was that?”
After Selena, 33, confirmed the message was sent in 2022, Benny and his co-hosts Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco remained stunned by the admission.
Lil Dicky, 37, even tried to reason that the message was sent in response to her Instagram Story, but Selena and Benny—who tied the knot in September 2025—quickly shut it down.
