Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco made waves at the 2025 Golden Globes, showcasing their love just weeks after announcing their engagement. The couple, who made their first public appearance as fiancés, attended the prestigious ceremony together on January 5 at the Beverly Hilton, California.
Although they didn’t officially pose for red carpet photos, Gomez and Blanco spent the evening sitting side by side inside the event, where the atmosphere was undoubtedly filled with love and support. Gomez, dressed elegantly in a light blue off-the-shoulder gown, dazzled attendees. Complementing her look, Blanco chose chic all-white attire, creating a picture-perfect couple.
Gomez was nominated for two awards at the ceremony, both for her phenomenal acting skills. She was recognized for her role as Mabel Mora, the crime-solving podcaster on the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building, and for her portrayal of Jessi Del Monte, the wife of the titular cartel leader, in Emilia Pérez. This was her first nomination for Best Performance by a Female Actor in Any Motion Picture and her third consecutive nomination for the television category.
Reflecting on her achievements, Gomez stated, “I definitely didn’t expect all of what’s happening. It just feels like a time in my life I’m extremely grateful for.” The recognition at the Golden Globes came soon after she celebrated her engagement to Blanco, whom she described as “the safest I’ve ever felt with” and someone with whom she sees “a future.”
Throughout the evening, the couple was seen sharing tender moments. One highlighted moment occurred during host Nikki Glaser’s opening monologue. After making lighthearted jokes about Blanco’s luck, she quipped, “Benny Blanco is here because of the genie who granted him the wish. Man, lucky guy.” The playful remarks drew laughter from the audience and showcased the couple’s joyful demeanor.
From their sweet interactions to Gomez cheering for co-nominee Zoe Saldaña, who won Best Performance by Actress Motion Picture, the couple appeared genuinely happy to be sharing this moment together. Two days before the event, Gomez had revealed her engagement on Instagram, triumphantly declaring, “Forever begins now..,” alongside images of her marquise-cut diamond ring.
This appearance was particularly special for Gomez, who has privately been with Blanco for six months prior to their public reveal of the relationship. She shared her feelings about her fiancé, stating, “He is my absolute everything in my heart. He [has] been the best thing that's ever happened to me. The end.”
The supporters of the couple were thrilled to witness the love and affection they expressed toward each other during the awards show. Not only was it significant for Gomez as she celebrated her nominations, but it was equally meaningful for Blanco, who stood proudly beside her.
Gomez's success and expression of love with Blanco highlights her growth and development, both as an artist and as a person. Surrounded by familiar faces, the couple’s presence at the Golden Globes signifies not just their relationship but also Gomez's continued rise within the entertainment industry.
Gomez's whimsical gown, resembling Cinderella's attire, garnered admiration from fashion critics, and she paired it with blingy accessories. The diamond jewelry, including her recent engagement ring, added sparkle to her overall look, epitomizing the glamour of Hollywood.
While the Golden Globes roared with applause for the nominees and winners, it also stood as a solemn confirmation of love for Gomez and Blanco. With this being their first outing as engaged companions, it marks just the beginning of what fans and onlookers hope will be many glamorous appearances together.
With their public engagement celebrated under the Hollywood lights, both Gomez and Blanco are set to embrace all the moments to come. Their love story intertwines with their professional journeys, and as they look toward the future, fans are eager to see what milestones they will reach together.
