Have you ever received a gift that left you both giggling and scratching your head? That was exactly the vibe when Selena Gomez found herself on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show, where hilarity ensued over a surprise gift with a very cheeky twist. As Kimmel presented a “Daddy Saddle” meant for Gomez’s fiancé, Benny Blanco, the laughter echoed, but so did the double meanings. Picture it: a saddle, a curly-haired image of Benny, and an innocent—but yes, rather suggestive—joke that made our girl cover her face in disbelief. But hold on a sec, folks—between the giggles and the Golden Globe nominations, this star knows how to keep the entertainment rolling! So, if you missed this delightful moment, get ready for a recap that might just leave you in stitches. LEARN MORE.
A stunned Gomez silently laughed while covering her face as she registered the double meaning behind Kimmel’s gift.
“You can ride around on Benny in a very wholesome way. I don’t want you to think that anything is being suggested here that isn’t,” Kimmel joked to Gomez.
“Just imagine yourself here,” Kimmel said, pointing to the little girl in the photo while stating the obvious about how the saddle works, “and Benny right here. Just try to imagine [the dad’s] hair being a lot more curly [like Blanco’s]. And then you on top of him.”
The talk show host then jokingly threw in the fact that the Daddy Saddle might have been a “regift,” while quickly removing a piece of Christmas wrapping paper still stuck to the box.
Gomez’s appearance on the late night show comes on the heels of her riveting night at the Golden Globes on January 5, in which she was nominated for her work in Emilia Pérez and the comedy-drama series Only Murders in the Building.
Last month, the singer announced her engagement to Blanco on Instagram.
