When Selena Gomez appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Jan. 6, she was surprised when the host offered her a gift to celebrate her engagement to Benny Blanco — but she was more surprised when she saw what it was.
“It’s not a traditional, and it’s not necessarily a practical gift, but I think you and Benny are really gonna enjoy it,” Kimmel said. He then pulled out the Daddy Saddle. No, that’s not some kind of sex toy — it’s literally a little saddle that a father is supposed to put on his back so his kids can ride on him.
“You can ride around on Benny in a very wholesome way,” Kimmel continued, as Selena covered her mouth in horror and then laughed. He pulled a scrap of wrapping paper off the box, adding, “That may have been a regift.”
During her chat with Jimmy, Selena also discussed her Golden Globe-winning film Emilia Perez and intimated that her Only Murders in the Building co-star Martin Short “wasn’t very happy” that Benny didn’t call him to ask permission to marry Selena.
