Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco Make Their Public Debut With Lakers Game Date Night

Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco

In Hollywood, a celebrity couple isn’t really a couple until they make their debut at an NBA game — we don’t make the rules. But Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco just hit that time-honored milestone, sharing some extra public PDA courtside.

As noted by ET, the Rare Beauty founder and her producer boyfriend attended the Los Angeles Lakers versus Miami Heat game in L.A. on January 3, and were spotted laughing, holding hands, and cuddling throughout the event. They even appeared on the Jumbotron at one point, which made Gomez laugh. She looked cozy in a black and white jacket, black pants, and silver boots, while Blanco opted for an all-white ‘fit with a pink and orange floral jacket.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have known each other for years; Blanco worked on her album Revival, and they also appeared in a music video together.

In early December, Gomez confirmed that the two were dating and had been for about six months, going on an Instagram comment spree and calling Blanco “my absolute everything in my heart,” “the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end,” and “better than anyone I’ve ever been with.” She also replied to a fan’s comment, saying, “If you actually care about me. [sic] This is my happiest. If you don’t 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 y [sic] life at all.”

Since then, Gomez and Blanco have both posted candid pics and videos of each other on their Instagram Stories. On December 31, Gomez shared a sweet shot of Blanco hugging her from behind and kissing her hair. On January 3, Blanco posted a few adorable pics of his girlfriend smiling and laughing and absolutely glowing. Awww. We love love.
