Did The Moment Make Selena Gomez Rethink Bringing Dates to Awards Shows?

Though unintentional, Blanco’s overeagerHIMYMremark in front of Jason Segel might have made Selena Gomez uncomfortable. While the situation slid as a funny incident that everyone was laughing about, Gomez might have reconsidered her oversharing boyfriend.

Moments requiring tact and discretion around other stars call for a filter that Blanco lacked in this case. And Gomez seems too private a person to enjoy having surprise personal tidbits shared publicly without her consent.
