Selena Gomez Blushes While Texting a ‘Cute Boy’ on Her Cooking Show amid Benny Blanco Romance

Chef Eric Adjepong recently had to “Save the Day” while cooking alongside Selena Gomez.

The actress who hosts the Food Network series Selena + Chef: Home for the Holidays was recently caught texting “a cute boy” while she was cooking alongside guest chef Adjepong in the season finale.

During the episode, Gomez is caught sending messages by her co-host, Raquelle Stevens.

 “Sel, who are you texting?” asks Stevens, 30, and Gomez then tries to hide her smile while shushing her friend.

“Look, it’s hard out there,” added the Only Murders in the Building actress. But her co-host chirps, “I could probably guess who,” with Gomez quickly saying, “Stop.”

That wasn’t the only time Gomez was caught red-handed during the finale episode. Towards the end of the episode, when Stevens asks Chef Adjepong, 36, how their cake is doing, he confirms that they have a timer running — which Gomez was in charge of setting at the start of the episode.

But quickly, Gomez realizes she did not set the timer.

The show’s editing pokes fun at Gomez’s snafu and zooms in on her face as she realizes her mistake. As amusing music plays over Gomez’s shocked face, the episode then replays the clip of her going to “set the timer.” The footage then shows the actress getting distracted and sending a text back to a “mystery recipient.”

After Gomez’s small hiccup, Adjepong quickly went to check on the cake and declared, “It’s definitely time to take it out.” As he pulls out the overly baked cake, he tells the host, “It’s okay actually. It’s um…totally fine.”

As Gomez shares a look of deep concern, Stevens interjects, “He’s just being nice.”

“No, no, no. I actually like it a little bit over,” said Adjepong. “I’m being completely honest.”
