Selena Gomez gets bizarre engagement gift from Jimmy KimmelSelena Gomez gets bizarre engagement gift from Jimmy Kimmel

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.
