Their date hasn’t come long after they’ve received a tremendous amount of backlash from viral clips of the music producer showcasing his “dirty” feet on his podcast, and his wife later kissing them on camera. Though they’re hanging in there and still going strong, there seem to be a lot of fans who are struggling to let that incident go. Read more about their latest date below.

Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco Flaunt Their Casual Style During An Arcade Date

The married couple turned musical collaborators have been out and about these days, no matter how much backlash or criticism they've been receiving online.

 

This week, the pair were seen having a classic date night at an arcade, where they decided to ditch any fancy outfits and go with something a lot more casual. Selena could be seen wearing a thick, cozy ribbed black sweater and matching black sweatpants, while her husband, Benny, had on a simple white t-shirt and some patterned green sweatpants.

 

Selena and Benny were snapped playing a bit of bowling, then later diving into some arcade games like shooting hoops, a claw machine, and more. You can see the photos taken of them here!

Fans React To Selena & Benny's Date Amid 'Unhygienic' Scandal

Around this time last year, the famous couple was on top of the world, having released their first album together, I Said I Love You First, which contained a sprinkle of hits like "Bluest Flame." However, their reputation has taken a big hit following two viral podcast clips.

 

A few weeks ago, the songwriter released a podcast with some of his frequent collaborators, Friends Keep Secrets, and in one of the episodes, he had no shoes on, and the camera had a clear view of his feet, which were quite black on the bottom. Not long after, in a different episode, the Only Murders In The Building star sat on the ground by his feet, and was seen gently kissing them as an act of affection. Since then, the internet has been exploding with criticism, sharing how "disgusted" they were, and it seems like even under photos from their arcade date, users are still finding ways to talk about it.

 

"Benny really gives dirty, unhygienic vibes," commented an Instagram user.

 

"Still not over her sucking that dirty toe," joked another.

 

"She looks repulsed," added a user, as another wrote, "I really don't get it, but who am I to judge?"
