Benny Blanco's Nickname for Selena Gomez Has to Do with Deli Meat

Selena Gomez is a foodie, but her nickname from fiancé Benny Blanco is still pretty unexpected. As reported by People, the couple were guests on the April 30 episode of the podcast Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware. On the show, they opened up about their early relationship, their wedding plans, and—with it being a food and family-themed show—their food memories. During the conversation, they also shared what they call each other, and while Gomez's names for Blanco are pretty typical, one of the names he has for her is a little... odd.

"I think you've maybe called me 'Sel' a few times," Gomez said on the podcast of her usual nickname. "I called you 'Sel' today," Blanco added. But, he went on to say that in his phone her name is "Salami."
