Selena Gomez's Statement About Husband Benny Blanco's Not Changing Underwear After 7 Days Debunked
Unpacking the viral hoax and public reaction to Benny Blanco's hygiene habits

A social media post claiming that Selena Gomez made remarks about how often her husband Benny Blanco changes his underwear has been debunked as fabricated. The false claim circulated widely online in the days after Blanco's appearance on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, during which viewers noticed the visible grime on his feet.
There is no reputable source or official record indicating that Gomez ever made such a comment. The original post appears to have originated from a parody account known for creating inflammatory content about public figures.
The Viral Hoax Behind the Seven-Day Underwear Claim
A post recently circulated on X (formerly Twitter) purported to reveal a shocking admission from Gomez about her husband's personal habits. The graphic alleged that the singer had shared a message praising Blanco for his lack of daily hygiene.
'I prefer a lil funk on my man. If your boyfriend changes his underwear every day then you really got a girlfriend, no shade! Bennys changes his every 7 day,' Gomez allegedly said.

The post went viral immediately, garnering millions of views and thousands of comments. Many believed it and slammed the couple for their poor hygiene.
'He changes his underwear every 7 days? [Is] he growing a garden of algae and bacteria,' one asked. Another added, '7 DAYS??? that's not "a lil funk" that's a biohazard.'
Meanwhile, another said they saw Blanco's dirty feet and saw Gomez allegedly 'peeing in a bottle.' The X user concluded that 'they both deserve each other.'

However, the quote was fabricated. There is no reputable source or official archive indicating that Gomez ever made such a comment.
The original post appears to have originated from a parody account known for creating inflammatory content about pop culture figures. Despite the lack of evidence, the post's viral nature forced many to question the private lives of the Hollywood power couple.
How the Dirty Feet Footage Fuelled the Story
The context for the fabrication was likely the debut episode of the 'Friends Keep Secrets' podcast, during which viewers noticed a significant amount of grime on Blanco's feet. The footage quickly became a talking point, with audiences questioning his approach to personal hygiene. 'Good podcast, wash your feet Benny and wash the floor,' one viewer commented.
This public reaction created a narrative that Blanco was indifferent to standard grooming practices. Critics on social media used the footage to label the producer as unhygienic, which likely emboldened trolls to invent even more extreme claims.
Blanco and Gomez Respond
Blanco addressed the dirty feet footage directly during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, placing the blame on the filming location rather than his own habits. 'First of all, it's the facility's fault. It's not mine. The floors are [dirty]. I have great feet,' he said, before showing his feet to the camera. His co-host Lil Dicky confirmed that the episode was filmed on the first day of production, with crew members coming and going throughout, leaving the floors dirty.
Gomez, meanwhile, appeared unbothered. The day after the footage made headlines, she posted a montage of the couple on her Instagram Stories, captioning it: 'I fall more and more in love with you every day my love.'
Gomez's response to Blanco's dirty feet may have contributed to the fake quote about his alleged daily hygiene. For now, the celebrity couple seems content to ignore the fabrications, focusing instead on their collaborative projects and personal life away from the digital noise.
