Pop sensation and actress Selena Gomez has set a very public challenge for her music producer boyfriend, Benny Blanco, following his recent recognition from the Television Academy.
In a charming and playful public exchange, Gomez left no room for doubt about her expectations for next year's awards season. The interaction occurred after the Television Academy's official social media account congratulated Blanco on his Emmy nomination for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for his work on the hit show Only Murders in the Building.
Gomez's direct instruction was clear for all to see. Commenting directly on the post, she wrote: "Ok then if you don't take me next year I will be mad." The demand, while lighthearted, underscores the couple's increasingly serious and public relationship.
Blanco, 36, earned his nomination for co-writing the song "Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?" from the popular Hulu series, in which Gomez stars alongside comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short.
The singer's comment quickly sent fans into a frenzy, with many noting the adorable and supportive nature of their relationship. This public display follows months of the couple becoming more open about their romance on social media, frequently sharing affectionate posts and comments.
While Gomez herself was not nominated this year for her role in the building's only murders, her pointed message to Blanco has already set the stage for a highly-anticipated red carpet appearance at the 2025 ceremony. All eyes will now be on whether Blanco can deliver on his girlfriend's firm directive.
