Selena Gomez has once again captured the internet’s attention—this time with a seemingly ordinary Instagram photo that’s sparked a wave of speculation and support. In a recent photo dump shared with her millions of followers, Gomez was seen lounging on her couch, signing autographs and flashing a peace sign.
But eagle-eyed fans quickly spotted something unexpected on her windowsill: a bottle of KY Jelly lubricant sitting among other everyday items.
The detail, first picked up by fans on TikTok, quickly went viral. Comments poured in, with many users playfully noting the NSFW item and expressing support for Gomez’s openness. “God forbid a girl have hobbies,” one fan joked, while another wrote, “Love that Benny is keeping our girl happy and satisfied.
Loooove this couple!” The reference is to Gomez’s fiancé, music producer Benny Blanco, with whom she’s been publicly and affectionately involved since 2023. The couple announced their engagement in December 2024 and have been candid about their relationship both in interviews and on social media.
While some fans were initially confused about what they were looking for in the background, others quickly identified the bottle and praised Gomez for not hiding aspects of her personal life. “Exactly. She’s not hiding anything and I love her for it,” one commenter wrote.
Others pointed out that the couple’s music and social media posts have already hinted at a playful and open dynamic, making the casual appearance of a bottle of lube in the background feel perfectly on-brand.
A few fans also noted that lubricants like KY Jelly can be used for reasons beyond intimacy, such as for skin conditions or dryness, especially since Gomez has previously spoken about managing lupus.
Ultimately, the photo has only fueled more affection for Gomez and Blanco, with fans celebrating their authenticity and the joy they seem to share. The moment serves as a reminder that celebrities, like everyone else, have personal lives, and sometimes, a little honesty in the background is all it takes to get the internet talking.
