Selena Gomez has proven she loves every part of her husband Benny Blanco—including his feet.

During the Tuesday, March 3 episode of Blanco's "Friends Keep Secrets" podcast, the 33-year-old singer and actress surprised listeners by kissing her husband's bare feet mid-recording. The moment came after weeks of online chatter criticizing the producer's seemingly dirty feet during previous episodes.

"You like that?" Blanco, 37, asked after Gomez planted a kiss on his foot. She playfully tapped him and responded, "Don't make it a moment." The music producer replied warmly, "Oh, no. I wasn't. I liked it. It made me feel good. I love you so much."

The PDA moment quickly went viral on social media, with fans divided over the gesture. "He's feet still dirty eww they are so NASTY," one X user wrote.

Podcast co-host Lil Dicky appeared unfazed by the moment and noted the undeniable chemistry between the married couple. Blanco took the opportunity to explain why he typically holds back from gushing over Gomez during her appearances.

"In interviews with her, because I know she likes to keep it professional, I try not to show too much," he shared. "She's such her own entity. I want her to shine and be, like, her own independent [person] so I try so hard. I use every bone in my body not to be googly-eyed over her."

This isn't the first time Blanco's podcast antics have generated buzz. On the February 24 episode, he famously farted into the microphone while sitting barefoot on a gray sectional couch, leading viewers to comment on what appeared to be dirt on the bottom of his feet.

Lil Dicky previously explained the show aims to break traditional podcast formats, comparing their visual approach to the film "The Zone of Interest." Gomez and Blanco have not publicly addressed the ongoing commentary about his feet.
