Nearly 50 minutes into the new episode, published Tuesday, March 3, Gomez, who was sitting on the floor, leaned over and planted a smooch on a lounging Blanco’s index toe mid-conversation. The kiss gave the producer, who was speaking, pause. He looked down, slyly smiled, and turned to co-hosts Dave Burd, 37, and Batalucco, who is the rapper’s wife.

“You like that?” Blanco jokingly asked the duo, as Gomez playfully slapped his leg and said, “Oh, don’t make it a moment!”

Blanco then responded, “No. I wasn’t. I liked it. It made me feel good. I love you so much.”

As he expressed the sweet sentiment, the Only Murders in the Building star then doubled-down on the foot affection, this time resting her cheek on her husband’s toes.

After the gesture, Burd told the pair, “I was just thinking about back in Malibu when I first saw you guys display any public display of affection for the first time, and I thought, ‘I think this is going to work out.’ ”

On PDA with his wife, Blanco then added, “In interviews with her — because I know she likes to keep it professional — I try not to show too much, like … ‘cause she’s her own entity. I want her to shine and be her own independent woman. So I try so hard. I use every bone in my body not to be googly-eyed over her and not want to kiss her and jump her bones all the time.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Gomez told Blanco that their relationship “is probably so healthy and one of the greatest things of life.”

The “Who Says” singer’s foot kiss comes after Blanco set social media ablaze with his feet in the first episode of his new podcast, which debuted on Feb. 24.

As the producer and songwriter lounged, barefoot, on a couch in the episode, his feet appeared to be covered in dirt and placed on the couch cushions in Burd and Batalucco’s home, where cameras captured them. The internet didn’t hold back on their opinions in the YouTube comments section, calling Blanco’s feet “filthy” and urging him to wash the appendages.

Selena Gomez says she was ‘misdiagnosed’ before receiving bipolar diagnosis

See the warning signs of the commonly overlooked condition

Actress and singer Selena Gomez continues to be outspoken about mental health following her diagnosis with bipolar disorder.

The former Disney star announced her diagnosis in 2020 during an Instagram Live video call with fellow Disney Channel standout Miley Cyrus. Gomez has since described this discovery as a relief, although not an easy path.

In a recent episode of the “Friends Keep Secrets” podcast, Gomez – the co-founder of mental health publication Wondermind – shared details about her journey to diagnosis.

Fellow musician and husband Benny Blanco asked his wife if she knew she was bipolar before being officially diagnosed.

“I knew something was wrong, but I think I was misdiagnosed,” she responded. “I think people were just assuming – and I would try multiple therapists.”

“It’s actually really hard when we’re talking about these things, and for me to go, ‘Go get a therapist.’ All of it is so … complicated.”

Gomez detailed how her diagnosis required talking to “multiple different people,” stressing the importance of not giving up.

“I’m so grateful I went to four different rehabs because it all helped me understand it,” she said.

Gomez added, “I’d act out of fear, I’d act out of love, I’d act out of passion, it was all inconsistent. It was crazy.”

The actress encouraged others that no matter the diagnosis, “you are not defined by a term.”

“It’s just informative to seek and talk and listen to podcasts or listen to certain things that will help you get information,” she said. “I do believe there is a lot of hope.”

Signs of bipolar disorder

About 2.8% of adults in the U.S. have experienced bipolar in the last year, while 4.4% experience it during their lifetime, according to the National Institutes of Health.

This can include emotional highs, referred to as mania or hypomania, and lows, known as depression, per Mayo Clinic.

Symptoms can differ depending on bipolar type.

“You are not defined by a term.”

Manic and hypomanic episodes typically include three or more of the following symptoms:

• Increased activity, energy or agitation
• Feeling too self-confident, or having a distorted sense of well-being
• Needing less sleep than usual
• Speaking quickly or being unusually talkative
• Having racing thoughts or jumping from one topic to the next
• Being easily distracted
• Making poor decisions

Major depressive episodes include symptoms like feeling sad, empty and hopeless. (iStock)

Major depressive episodes typically include five or more of the following symptoms.

• Feeling depressed, sad, empty, hopeless or tearful
• Having a loss of interest or feeling no pleasure in most activities
• Losing weight when not dieting, or overeating and gaining weight
• Sleeping too much or too little
• Feeling restless or acting slower than usual
• Feeling very tired or losing energy
• Feeling worthless or guilty when unnecessary
• Struggling with thinking or concentrating, leading to an inability to make decisions
• Thinking about, planning or attempting suicide

Formerly called manic depression or “manic-depressive disorder,” bipolar disorder is characterized by dramatic shifts in mood, energy and activity levels. (iStock)

Seeking diagnosis

Mayo Clinic encourages anyone experiencing these symptoms to seek help from a professional.

Diagnosis can be made through a physical exam and lab testing, as well as mental health assessments and tracking of moods, sleep patterns and other factors.

After diagnosis, Mayo Clinic recommends paying attention to warning signs to prevent episodes. Getting enough sleep, taking medications as directed, and abstaining from drugs and alcohol can also help.
