Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are awards-show official. Just days after making their first public outing as a couple at an L.A. Lakers game, the actress and producer had a glamorous date night at Sunday’s (Jan. 7) awards, where they shared a sweet kiss, as seen in an Instagram Story posted by Gomez.
In the photo, which the Only Murders in the Building actress shared shortly after the awards ceremony wrapped up, she passionately smooches Blanco in what looks to be a backstage storage area filled with cardboard boxes. She’s still wearing her crimson Giorgio Armani gown, while the pop music engineer looks dapper in a suit jacket and gold necklaces.
“I won,” Gomez captioned the snap.
The “Single Soon” musician attended the Globes as a best TV actress nominee for Only Murders alongside her costars Martin Short, Steve Martin and Meryl Streep, each of whom were also recognized for the show. Gomez gives Streep an air-kiss in what looks to be a selfie with the Oscar winner in another photo posted on her Story, to which she also posted pics with bestie Taylor Swift and Florence Pugh.
Just last week, the Rare Beauty founder embarked on her first public date with her new beau, cuddling up to him courtside at Wednesday’s (Jan. 3) Lakers game against the Miami Heat. Prior to that, both Gomez and Blanco had shared a number of photos with and of each other on their respective Instagram accounts on various dates, including one at an art exhibit believed to be the Drake-backed Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy experience.
Gomez first confirmed her relationship with Blanco in December, telling fans in a series of comments on Instagram that “he is my absolute everything in my heart.” She also revealed that, by that point, she and her “Single Soon” collaborator had been together for six months.
“This is my happiest,” she wrote at the time. “Feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I’m done. If you can’t accept me at my happiest then don’t be in [my] life at all.”
