Sheinelle Jones and Jenna Bush Hager are weighing in on the newest viral moment in celebrity land, and let's just say, one of them has one foot out the door already.

Sheinelle, 47, and Jenna, 44, sat down on the latest episode of TODAY's Fourth Hour, aka TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle, to break down the internet going into a frenzy over Selena Gomez kissing her husband Benny Blanco's foot during a recording of his podcast.

For context, the couple were discussing their healthy relationship during the recording of Benny's podcast Friends Keep Secrets, when Selena leaned in to plant a kiss on his toes. The move came just days after photos of his dirty feet made the rounds on social media.

The scoop

"So one of our favorite couples, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, they're making the headlines," Sheinelle introduced on the March 4 show. After a brief preamble on the story, they cut to a photo of the "Good For You" singer kissing her husband's toes, which resulted in an audible gasp from both anchors. "That came too soon!" Jenna quipped.

While affirming their love for the couple, Sheinelle turned the attention to her co-anchor. "Have you ever kissed anyone's feet?" which disgusted Jenna, who quickly denied it. "Have you?" she posed back, with her smile quickly growing playful, suggesting she knew something already.

Sheinelle stammered: "No…no," before hilariously retorting: "I will thump you!" At this point, the entire TODAY studio broke into peals of laughter. Jenna calmly quipped: "Not even in the throes of passion?" at which point her co-host reared back in laughter.

"Stop looking at me!" she exclaimed, with Jenna adding on the sidelines: "Have the feet been brought to the table?" Sheinelle closed it out with: "All I'm saying is that I've never." But Jenna, not one to let a good moment go to waste, turned to her and cheekily replied: "But somebody might've…somebody might've given you a pedicure…with their mouth?"

A flustered Sheinelle tried to turn attention away from her and back to Selena and Benny as the rest of the studio behind the camera continued loudly laughing away. "Can we just check out what Benny said about how much they love each other?"

The music producer spoke about finding a balance when it came to PDA with his wife, especially in professional settings. "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."

The pair have co-hosted their show since January of 2026

The "Fetish" singer confirmed the feeling was indeed mutual, saying later on the podcast that her relationship with Benny "is probably so healthy and one of the greatest things of life." The couple started dating in 2023, announcing their engagement in December 2024, and tying the knot in September of 2025 in California.
