Selena Gomez’s boyfriend, Benny Blanco, for “Sexiest Man Alive” title?

Selena Gomez’s boyfriend, Benny Blanco, is making waves, and not just with writing and producing music! He hasn’t officially snagged the title of Sexiest Man Alive for 2024 (yet!), but his spot on PEOPLE’s list has been enough to send people on the Internet crazy. 

This year, Benny’s been popping up everywhere thanks to his romance with Selena Gomez. As a record producer, songwriter, and now, potential title-holder for “Sexiest Man Alive,” he’s ready to prove all of his charms. Previously, the coveted title has gone to some serious heartthrobs in recent years, including Chris Evans, Patrick Dempsey, and Paul Rudd. So if Benny scores this, he’ll be joining the A-list of sexy legends.

Naturally, the internet had thoughts with memes flooding feeds and users wondering if he’s got what it takes to get the prize for being Hollywood’s sexiest. Despite the online criticism, Selena Gomez is supporting his boyfriend, celebrating his inclusion as a possible contender with a sentimental Instagram story:

“I still haven’t figured out how to sit across from you, and not be madly in love with everything you do.”

Are you a Benny supporter or would you rather see someone else taking the crown?
