People magazine has just published the list of Sexiest Men Alive in 2024. The audience was extremely surprised when music producer Benny Blanco also appeared on this list.

The Sexiest Men Alive – an annual honor given to male celebrities for their looks, charisma and cultural impact – was named Benny Blanco, a Grammy-nominated producer, TikTok sensation, great cook and doting boyfriend to Selena.

Immediately after the publication, a big debate broke out regarding whether Selena Gomez’s boyfriend deserved this new title. Some viewers were confused by People’s inclusion of Benny Blanco on the list because he is not famous for his looks. Many even outright said that the music producer is not good-looking.

When talking about Benny Blanco, audiences usually think of his musical talent or his famous girlfriend instead of his appearance. Previously, when the former Disney star announced his new boyfriend, many fans expressed regret because they thought Blanco’s beauty was “not worthy” of the female singer.

However, others appreciate his humor and sincerity, which they say is what makes Blanco charming and sets him apart from the rest of the names on the list.

As for Selena Gomez, the female singer shared sweet things when her boyfriend was nominated by People magazine as ‘Sexiest Man Alive of the Year’.

On her Instagram Story on November 12, Selena posted a photo of Benny Blanco in a People magazine tribute. The 36-year-old musician posed on a table with pizza and champagne next to him. “Not only do you love me unconditionally, but you always buy me Taco Bell Mexican pizza,” Selena wrote under the photo.

The 32-year-old billionaire also tagged Benny in a second post, in which she shared a William C. Hannan poem: “I still haven’t learned how to sit across from you, without going crazy over everything you do.”

In an interview with People, Benny Blanco talked about his romance with Selena Gomez. He said: “Every day with Selena is the best day of my life.” The Canadian musician said his favorite part of the day is the morning when the two wake up early and spend time together.

Benny describes Selena as a true best friend who he would do anything with. Benny loves to make Selena’s favorite foods like deep-fried pickles and Taco Bell. The musician also revealed that Selena is a romantic, once renting out a botanical garden for him and often giving him handmade gifts.

In an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, Selena confided: “I’ve never been loved in this way. He’s like the light that illuminates my life. He’s my best friend, the person I want to share all the joys and sorrows in life with.”

Selena and Benny Blanco have been dating since last summer, going public with their relationship in December after months of secre.t romance. The two were friends and worked together on music for years before their relationship blossomed. Benny is the Love On singer’s first official boyfriend since her split from Justin Bieber in early 2018.

The couple have posted many sweet moments together over the past year. They rarely walk the red carpet together but are always close in daily life.

Not only is Selena Gomez’s love life flourishing, her career is also on the rise. She is considered one of the youngest self-made female billionaires in the United States. Bloomberg reported in early September that the former Disney star has a fortune of $1.3 billion. In addition, she has accumulated wealth through her acting and music careers over the years.
