Selena Gomez may have gotten distracted by a crush during the latest episode of Selena + Chef: Home for the Holidays.
“Let me put my timer on … and see if any cute guys texted me,” Gomez, 31, quipped during the Thursday, December 21, episode of her holiday special while baking Malva Pudding with professional chef Eric Adjepong. “Nope! Nobody did, but I will set my timer.”
Gomez pulled out her phone to set a timer for the cooking duration. A lower third popped on the screen, hinting that the actress was actually “texting … not setting timer.”
After Gomez’s iPhone chimed with a sent notification, her best friend (and Selena + Chef cohost) Raquelle Stevens played detective. “Sel, who are you texting?” Stevens, 30, asked.
