Selena Gomez approves Benny Blanco’s new transformation
Benny Blanco debuted a new look by getting his unibrow tweezed in a TikTok video posted on March 22.
In the clip, Selena Gomez is seen standing beside him, guiding the process and saying, “Do it light, because I love him.” Blanco captioned the video, “I plucked my eyebrows.” After the transformation, he reacted with, “I can’t even tell the difference.”
Public response was mostly positive, with one viewer commenting, “Omg yessssss Selena is working her magic. You look good Benny!!!” Another said, “HUGE difference! But now we need a haircut.”
Blanco, 37, previously joked about his looks in an April 2024 episode of Whiskey Ginger, saying, “I believe that I’m actually so ugly… that I like, popped out the other side and now I’m just like, a hot guy” (via E! News).
Blanco and Gomez went public with their relationship in mid-late 2023. Selena confirmed their romance in December, writing on Instagram, “He is my absolute everything in my heart.” She added, “He’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with.”
At the 2025 Golden Globes, Nikki Glaser joked during her monologue, “Benny Blanco is here because of the genie who granted him that wish.” She later stated on Armchair Expert that Benny approved the joke, saying, “I’m cool with it. Let me run it by Selena.”
On March 19, 2025, Blanco posted a TikTok video with the phrase “Funny guys get hot girls” spelled out in coffee and milk. He accompanied Selena to the 2025 Oscars and has frequently appeared in affectionate posts with her, including birthday tributes and holiday snapshots.
