Selena Gomez has left fans absolutely baffled after posting a NSFW photo for her boyfriend Benny Blanco’s new book launch.
The 31-year-old 'Come & Get It' singer, who has reportedly been romantically linked to Benny, 36, since last summer, took to Instagram yesterday (1 May) to share with her 428 million followers a congratulations post following the release of his cookbook, Open Wide.
Selena posted a series of three snaps of her, Benny and some other peeps celebrating the milestone occasion on social media.

The last shot saw the happy couple embracing in a hug while the second pic showed them lovingly smiling at cake decorated to look like the cover of Benny's book.
However, it's clear it was the first shot on the photo dump which really raised some eyebrows as it showed Selena appearing to kiss the crotch area of Benny on the cookbook cake.
She captioned the photo dump: "So proud of @itsbennyblanco - Open Wide is out now!!"
Benny sweetly replied, writing: "Life is better when i’m w u."
Adorable.
And it's clear others also found the post super cute too, with many rushing in to the comments to share their support.
One Instagram user penned: "I love seeing you happy."
"My favourite couple," gushed a second. "I love you both with all my heart!"
While a third exclaimed: "You two are absolutely gorgeous together!"
"Cutiessssss," added singer SZA, while another beamed: "Benny and Selena forever!"
A final Instagram user echoed: "Congratulations Benny!"
Others, however, were clearly not as bawled over as others as one X user cruelly slammed: "Every time I think she can't go lower she proves me wrong wtf dude."
"This is just gross," piped up a second while a third revealed they reported the post for 'sensitive content'.
But, yet again, people came to Selena's defence with one pointing out: "This is what normal people do everyday at like bachelorette parties and as jokes.
"I don't understand why people care. They are a dirty joking couple and it's funny."
"Y’all are no fun," tweeted a second.
A third echoed: "Let her liveeeee omg."
"Why do people make such a big deal out of it! It looks like she killed someone but she's just licking a cake," asked a fourth.
Another urged: "Omg leave her alone already. This generation be so mad about everything that’s different and out of the ordinary."
And a final Twitter user speculated: "If Taylor Swift did this y'all would be praising her!"
