When Selena Gomez Got A Rash After Her First Kiss With Benny Blanco
The couple, speaking on a podcast, also reflected on their early dates and Gomez's initial anxiety. Despite her nerves, the pair's romance blossomed, culminating in an engagement.
Music producer Benny Blanco revealed that his fiancée Selena Gomez was nervous during their first memorable kiss that she developed a rash on her face. The couple shared this amusing anecdote during their appearance on Table Manners podcast hosted by singer Jessie Ware and her mother Lennie. Blanco, 37, reminiscing the moment said they were playing a card game at home and one of the cards prompted them to click a selfie together. He said Gomez climbed onto his chest to snap the picture. He shared right after that he looked at her and thought he has 'to kiss the girl".
However, the Only Murders in the Building star, 32, had a surprising physical reaction. Blanco elaborating on the incident said she was so nervous; that her heart was palpitating and she began getting a rash on her face. When Lennie jokingly asked whether the Bad Liar singer was allergic to him, Blanco responded playfully saying she was.
Gomez during the conversation said she was nervous due to the depth of her feelings. The Rare Beauty chief admitted she had not liked anyone in a long time and when a person recognises feelings behind a kiss, it is different. She also confessed she was a little embarrassed.
Blanco shared another anecdote about Gomez; he said in early stages of their relationship; the singer would arrive at his home 20 to 30 minutes early for their date. He said she would wait in her car outside until the official time, stated a report in Page Six.
Blanco laughed as he recalled that Selena was unaware of his house having security cameras and that he could see her car parked outside his home.
Gomez said she wanted the time to call a friend for a pep talk or a quick makeup touch-up before their date.
Benny and Selena have been friends for years but only began dating in June 2023. Six months later, they announced their relationship on social media. In December 2024, Blanco proposed to the singer with a marquise diamond ring which was a tribute to their 2015 hit song Good For You.
Reflecting on their journey, Blanco shared a black-and-white picture of the fateful selfie last month and wrote that courting Selena was the best decision he made.

Only Murders In The Building To End After Season 5? Martin Short Reacts
Martin Short shared his thoughts about the future of Only Murders In The Building and hinted that season five could possibly be the last. Only Murders in the Building has become one of the most popular comedy mystery shows, running successfully for four seasons. Created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, the series follows three neighbours, played by Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, who unexpectedly team up to solve murders happening inside their New York City apartment building. Recently, Martin Short shared his thoughts about the future of the show. While he didn't confirm an ending, Martin Short hinted that season five could possibly be the last. He also pointed out that streaming shows often do not go on for very long compared to traditional television. The Future Of Only Murders In The Building Speaking with Variety, the actor said, 'I think that the reality is, you know, when it feels like it's past its time. I think everyone's amazed that it's gone this long. This is a long time in streaming to go five years. 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' ended after five years, because one of the reasons was that they were afraid of losing the quality of it. But then, 'Friends' went how long, and they were always brilliant." Martin Short shared how proud he feels to be part of Only Murders in the Building. He shared that the show stands out because of its strong writing, direction and overall quality, which makes its success even more special. At this stage in his career, he finds it rare to be involved in a project that not only receives recognition and award nominations but also gives him genuine personal satisfaction. Martin Short is also deeply proud of 'the reputation Only Murders in the Building has in New York. It is a very loose set, and one of the reasons is that Steve and Selena and I all work the exact same way, screwing around, getting the crew to laugh. Everyone is laughing, and… action. Oh, a screw up, laughing. That kind of joie de vivre is what permeates the set, and I think that translates a little bit to the camera as well." While Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez plays lead roles in Only Murders in the Building, the show also had several special guest stars, such as Meryl Streep, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Richard Kind, Nathan Lane, Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest and Jermaine Fowler.
