Stephen Colbert Leaves Selena Gomez Stunned After Grilling Her About Her Relationship With Benny Blanco On ‘The Late Show’

Stephen Colbert found a moment to embrace his role as “America’s Dad” during Selena Gomez’s appearance on The Late Show this week, as she was there to discuss her latest Netflix series, Emilia Perez.

Colbert had been actively posting pictures from Gomez and Benny Blanco’s Thanksgiving celebration when he humorously popped the question, “Where do you see this relationship heading?”

Gomez was visibly shocked as she responded, “Woah. I thought you were going to ask where was this picture taken?”

But Gomez collected herself to answer, “You know what, I’m not sure, but I’m having a great time.”

With a light-hearted tone, Colbert then pondered if Blanco might be tuning in to the show from his own residence, before playfully turning to the camera to directly address the music producer, “Benny,” he called out, breaking the fourth wall momentarily.

“Oh no,” Gomez said.

“You must think you’re pretty special, if you think you can do better than this, okay?” Colbert began, causing Gomez to laugh. “And as America’s dad, I want to know what your intentions are with America’s daughter right over here?”

Gomez appeared thoroughly shocked by the interaction as she laughed. “Oh my god,” she said. “Thank you.”

Colbert then turned back to her and said, “No charge for that,” before asking, “But it’s a good relationship?”

“Oh yeah,” Gomez said. She then praised her boyfriend’s cooking skills, noting he “cooks every meal. It’s fantastic.”

Colbert later switched sides, asking Gomez, “What are your intentions with him?”

Blanco and Gomez, who met when they worked together on some music in 2015, began dating in July 2023; the pair have been open about how well things seem to be going in their relationship.

“I’ve never been loved this way,” Gomez said in a Vanity Fair profile in September. “He’s just been a light. A complete light in my life. He’s my best friend. I love telling him everything.”
