AceShowbiz - In a recent episode of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert", Selena Gomez made an appearance to promote her new movie "Emilia Perez". Fans were in for an unexpected treat when Stephen Colbert, known for his candid and comedic interviewing style, decided to turn the conversation towards Selena's relationship with music producer Benny Blanco.
During the segment, Colbert displayed a heartwarming Thanksgiving photo of the couple, segueing smoothly into an eyebrow-raising question, "If you don't mind me asking, where is this relationship going?" This caught Selena off guard but she quickly recovered, responding playfully, "Woah, I thought you were going to ask where this picture was taken!" She then added, "I'm not sure, but I'm having a great time."
Not one to miss a comedic opportunity, Colbert addressed Blanco directly through the camera, saying, "Benny, you must think you're pretty special if you think you can do better than this, OK? As America's dad, I want to know what your intentions are with America's daughter right over here." This playful remark left Selena laughing and mouthing, "Oh my."
The interaction didn't just end there. Colbert circled back and reversed the question, asking Selena, "What are your intentions with him? You must think you're pretty special!" She answered with laughter, explaining her role was to be the "hostess" and to "encourage him" while he cooked for their 50 Thanksgiving guests. Despite some fans feeling embarrassed for Selena, others appreciated the lighthearted moment.
The couple, who has been dating since July 2023, is very much in love, according to Gomez. She revealed to the Hollywood Reporter, "This is the safest I've ever felt in one, and I see a future with this person." The admiration is mutual, with both openly gushing about each other during interviews.
In addition to her thriving relationship, Gomez also headlines "Emilia Perez", a genre-bending film that premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and is now streaming on Netflix. She plays Jessi, the ex-wife of the main character entangled in a Mexican cartel in this Spanish-language musical thriller.
All eyes are now on how Benny Blanco will respond to Colbert's pointed yet humorous inquiry. Until then, fans can enjoy Gomez's continued success in both her personal and professional life, and revel in the charming moments shared by Hollywood's beloved couple.
