Selena Gomez and her producer-chef boyfriend, Benny Blanco, frequently make headlines for their relationship. The happily-in-love couple has been the talk of the town ever since they began dating. Now, Benny is a contender to win the title of 2024’s Sexiest Man Alive and landed on the cover of PEOPLE magazine, which has sparked a meme fest on the internet as the internet chose to react intensely.

Benny Blanco, who’s been in the spotlight for his relationship with Selena Gomez, is now in the running for PEOPLE’s 2024 Sexiest Man Alive title. While he hasn’t claimed the title just yet, his inclusion in the magazine’s issue has set off a frenzy online. Social media is buzzing with reactions, sparking a full-blown meme fest as fans and followers react to his unexpected appearance on the list. The reactions ranged from disbelief to outright dismissal.


How did the internet react?


A fan joked that the “sexiest” thing about Benny is his girlfriend, Selena Gomez.


Another bluntly stated that the words “sexiest” and “Benny Blanco” do not belong in the same sentence.

One wondered if all the other men were “unavailable”.

The last three winners of this title have been heartthrobs—Patrick Dempsey in 2023, Chris Evans in 2022, and Paul Rudd in 2021. Meanwhile, everyone is waiting with bated breath for Stephen Colbert to reveal the official winner.

Selena Gomez’s reaction
While the internet has been not-so-kind with their reactions, Selena Gomez gave a shout-out to her beloved on Instagram’s story section. On November 11, the singer shared a photo of Benny Blanco. She added a sweet message expressing her appreciation for him, highlighting his unconditional love and his thoughtful gesture of bringing her Taco Bell Mexican pizza. In a second post, Selena shared a heartfelt quote, reflecting on her deep feelings for Benny and how she can't help but be madly in love with everything he does. She tagged the music producer in both posts.
