Selena Gomez’s partner has always felt “confident” growing up, thanks to the support of his family, who helped him stay grounded. Recently, he made waves on social media after some users expressed dissatisfaction with his inclusion in this year’s “Sexiest Man Alive” list.
Selena Gomez’s boyfriend, Benny Blanco, was recognized as one of the sexiest men in People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” issue for 2024, which led to some online controversy. Despite the negative reactions, he’s much more than just a headline—he’s a Hall of Famer who envisions a future with Gomez.
In his feature for People’s Sexiest Man Alive, Blanco opened up about his personal approach to being a sexy gentleman. Reflecting on his upbringing in Virginia, he said, “I always felt pretty confident. My mom was like, ‘You’re the best,’ and my brother was always so sweet to me. He always paved the way, always made sure people were nice to me.”
With a mix of humor and a bold sense of style, the star embraces modern masculinity while staying true to chivalry. In addition to his charm, Blanco is a Grammy-nominated producer, known for creating hits for artists like Ed Sheeran, and collaborating with stars like Halsey and Khalid. A favorite on TikTok, he has also received the prestigious Hal David Starlight Award for his influence in the music industry.
Social media has been buzzing, with some users on X expressing surprise, disapproval, and skepticism. “How much did Selena paid for this? He’s so… ew (it’s a joke, don’t sue me),” one person joked.
Another user questioned, “This has to be a joke right..? RIGHT?????” While someone else added, “Selena paid for this.” One user sarcastically asked, “Is the sexiest man alive in the room with us?”
“Are you serious?” another user responded, clearly shocked. “……………. I’m sorry, what?” another wrote, expressing their surprise. One user remarked, “The only thing sexy about him is his girlfriend.”
On the other hand, people on Facebook took a more supportive approach, highlighting Blanco’s character. “The way he treats Selena, he’s a gentleman, and that’s a kind of sexy that goes beyond looks,” one user commented.
Another fan expressed, “I think he’s sweet, funny, talented. Has beautiful curly hair and amazing eyes, on top of how he treats her. He goes above and beyond to make her feel special. That is sexy [expletive].” Another person added, “Maybe it’s not about looks, but he is a really nice guy.”
One commenter shared, “Honestly, I can see it; he treats her like a queen, and he respects and loves her. It seems he was raised right. It isn’t always about looks, people, it’s what’s inside that counts. And that can make a man sexy.”
