Benny Blanco is not above selling his girlfriend Selena Gomez to her favorite actors!
During the performance at Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Friday, Gomez, 31, told host Jimmy Kimmel about an awkward encounter she had at the 2024 Emmy Awards with Jason Segel, which Blanco, 35, continued to make worse.
Gomez explained to Kimmel, 56, that she has a “weird habit” of falling asleep to a good show, and lately she’s been watching Segel’s sitcom How I Met Your Mother before sleep.
So when Gomez saw Shrinkage star waved to her at last month’s Emmys, she was excited and waved to her only to realize to her dismay that Segel was waving to someone behind her.

“He felt uncomfortable and was inclined to approach,” Gomez recalled. “And then my boyfriend left [to Segel]’Oh, she sleeps with you every night.'”
The “Love On” singer’s reaction was to look at Blanc in horror, saying, “That’s weird!”
“But I do!” she admitted to Kimmel, as they both laughed.
“He’s just being honest, I guess,” reasoned the talk show host.

Timeline of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship
Despite Blanco’s tendency to embarrass Gomez, the couple, who were first romantically linked in December 2023, appear to be going strong.
During a recent interview on New Music Daily on Apple Music 1, Just the murders in the building star gave host Zane Lowe some insight into her relationship with the producer.
“Without going into too much detail, I think it’s really important to meet someone who respects you,” Gomez said.
“And I think it’s really nice to lean on someone who understands the world I live in,” she continued. “But I’d have to say overall, it’s the most confident I’ve ever felt and it’s been really nice and I’ve just grown through it, so it’s great.”
