“Wow!” He said, making the audience laugh. “I thought you were going to ask where this picture was taken!”
“You know what, I’m not sure but I’m having a great time.”
Colbert then looked directly into the camera and addressed Blanco directly.
“Benny, you must think you’re very special, if you think you can do better than that, right? He pointed at Gomez and smiled at him. “And as America’s father, I want to know what your intentions are with America. ? Girl, right there.”
Gomez looked shocked but the two immediately moved on to discuss her relationship and Blanco cooking and an amazing partner all around.

“There’s a lot people don’t see in my relationship, it’s just me.”
