Boyfriend called my friend attractive, twice?

Anonymous
I’ve been with my 23 year old boyfriend for 3 years now and he’s never commented on my best friends appearance before. But this past week he’s called her attractive on two different occasions. When I told him it made me uncomfortable he said she’s “objectively attractive” and he told me it shouldn’t bother me he said that, he said he loves me and she doesn’t compare.

I would be able to get over it if he said it once but every time we talk about her now he finds a way to call her attractive. I can’t stop thinking about it. Should I be upset? Also, why would he keep calling her attractive?
