Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Hit Back at Critics After Golden Globes Teasing

Step off, haters. Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco laughed along when Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser cracked wise about Benny’s looks — suggesting the music producer, 36, needed a magical genie’s help to win over the gorgeous Emilia Pérez star, 32.

Now a source reveals that the “constant teasing” has been “difficult” for the pair, and they’re tired of being seen as a Beauty and the Beast couple. “It’s getting on their nerves,” says the source.

Benny, who once described his features as “grotesque,” can be especially sensitive, leaving Selena to prop up his ego. “She is so happy to be with him and tells him to ignore the morons,” says the insider. “She reminds Benny that she’s the one getting the last laugh because he’s such a great guy.”
