Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco Share Sweet PDA During Rare Public Date Night

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are soaking up newlywed bliss in public. The couple was spotted courtside at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. New Orleans Pelicans game on November 30, marking a rare public outing since tying the knot in September.

Fans were treated to a display of affection, with Gomez planting a sweet kiss on Blanco’s cheek and resting her head on his shoulder throughout the game. Observers may recall a similar moment from January 2024, when the pair shared their first public date after confirming a six-month-long relationship.

In a May 2024 interview with Access Hollywood, Benny Blanco reflected on their transition from friends and collaborators to romantic partners:

“We worked on a bunch of stuff and then, you know, it’s just like everything else in my life. I had no idea. And then one day I woke up and I was like, ‘Whoa, this is a girl I love. She’s right next to me.’ Literally, one day we were hanging out and then I was like, ‘Oh, wow. I think this is a date.’ And then it was just like, ‘Seriously?’ Yeah. That was just kind of how it happened. And then we’ve kind of been inseparable ever since.”

The couple got engaged in December 2024, with Gomez announcing the happy news on Instagram in a carousel of photos highlighting her diamond ring and captioned, “Forever begins now.” They married in a star-studded ceremony in Santa Barbara this September.

Since tying the knot, the pair have made several high-profile appearances, including their first outing as husband and wife at the Academy Museum Gala in October. Gomez also gave fans a glimpse into their married life over Thanksgiving with an Instagram post captioned “A kiss of life,” featuring snapshots of the couple and a playful video of her running her fingers through Blanco’s curly hair.

The pair’s public displays of affection highlight their strong bond and joyful start to married life, giving fans a rare and heartwarming look at the couple together.
