Selena Gomez appeared visibly flustered as she navigated a lighthearted interrogation by Stephen Colbert regarding her relationship with music producer Benny Blanco. The singer seemed taken aback when the Late Show host, embodying the persona of "America's Dad," inquired directly, “Where is this relationship going?” This amusing exchange took place following Colbert's presentation of a Thanksgiving photograph featuring the couple, during which both acknowledged the deep admiration Mr. Blanco holds for her.

Selena Gomez squirms over Benny Blanco's relationship probe

On Tuesday, while promoting her new Netflix series, Emilia Perez, Gomez made an appearance on Colbert's show. During the segment, Colbert playfully displayed a dinner photograph of the two embracing before inquiring about their relationship status and future. Initially taken aback but quickly regaining her composure, Gomez responded, “Woah, I thought you were going to ask where this picture was taken!” She then added with poise, “I’m not sure, but I’m having a great time.” Seizing the moment for some light-hearted banter, Colbert addressed the camera, speaking directly to Blanco regarding his “intentions” with “America’s daughter.”

Benny, it appears that you possess a rather elevated perception of yourself if you believe you can exceed this, do you not? He turned to the camera and stated, "As a paternal figure to America, I am eager to comprehend your intentions concerning America’s daughter right here."

In response, Gomez was observed laughing and silently expressing her astonishment before thanking the host for his incisive question. He replied, “You’re welcome. No fee for that. However, is it a positive relationship?” The dialogue concluded with the singer affirming, “Oh, yes. I love him.”

“Love you, but you’re making her uncomfortable, please cease,” remarked one fan. “Oh dear, I am feeling secondhand embarrassment,” joked another. “Uh oh, this is so awkward,” added a third. The actress from Only Murders in the Building and the record producer have been in a relationship since July 2023.

About Selena Gomez’s Emilia Pérez

Emilia Pérez is an innovative film that made its debut at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. Featuring a cast that includes Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, and Adriana Paz, the narrative centers around a prominent lawyer who becomes involved with a leader of a Mexican cartel. Selena Gomez portrays Jessi, the ex-wife of the protagonist, in a significant supporting role. This Spanish-language musical thriller delves into themes of identity and transformation, as the character Rita is abducted and compelled to aid the cartel leader in orchestrating a fake death and undergoing gender-affirming procedures.

“Rita longs for a singular chance, any chance that would enable her to break free and shatter the glass ceiling that seems perpetually out of reach,” Saldaña remarked, as reported by Tudum. “When that opportunity arises, she acts without hesitation. She seizes it.” Consequently, the cartel leader embarks on a new existence under the alias Emilia Pérez.

Emilia Pérez is presently available for streaming on Netflix in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
