Selena Gomez reacts to boyfriend Benny Blanco making People magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive' list
Blanco featured in 2024's Sexiest Man Alive issue as John Krasinski took the crown
The sexiest men alive in 2024 have officially been named, and Selena Gomez is dating one of them.
Obviously everyone would like to consider their other half to be one of the sexiest people alive, but unfortunately not everyone can feature in People Magazine's annual 'sexiest man alive' issue.
The issue considers all the best-looking men on the planet - or, if we're being honest, in Hollywood - and chooses one of them to be crowd the sexiest of them all.
It's no small feat, and this year it was none other than The Office and A Quiet Place star John Krasinski who was named the Sexiest Man Alive.

Krasinski joked that he had an 'immediate blackout' after hearing the news, but he wasn't the only person to feature in the new issue.
Gomez's boyfriend, record producer Benny Blanco, also took part in a photoshoot in honor of the 'Sexiest Man Alive' title, and was featured in one snap posing on a dining table with bare feet.
Blanco shared the table with a couple of cocktail glasses, as well as a silver platter on which he presented two Taco Bell Mexican pizzas.
News of Blanco's involvement in the issue sparked mixed reactions from internet users, with some people even speculating Gomez might have 'paid' for Blanco to be involved in the magazine.
While People is more than capable of picking its own candidates, Gomez did show her support for Blanco's involvement as she shared his snap to her Instagram Story.
Alongside the photo, she wrote: "Not only do you love me unconditionally.. you always get me my Taco Bell Mexican pizza."
In a follow-up post, Gomez shared a quote from William C. Hannan that read: "I still haven't figured out how to sit across from you, and not be madly in love with everything you do."
She tagged Blanco in the story, showing her adoration for the producer.
Blanco himself had chance to speak on featuring in the 'sexiest man' issue in an interview with People, in which he said he had 'always felt pretty confident'.
He also spoke about the time he enjoyed spending with Gomez, saying: "I'm a real morning person. It's my favorite time to spend with Sel, because we both wake up really early. It's like our moment before the rest of the world wakes up.
"I have a true best friend that I get to do everything in the world with, and every day is the best day of my life."
