The presence of Selena Gomez’s boyfriend, Benny Blanco, was felt at the afterparty for her upcoming Netflix movie, Emilia Pérez, held on October 21. The 32-year-old actress was seen beaming as she posed between Blanco and her costar Édgar Ramírez at Mother Wolf.
In a charming moment captured in a photo, Gomez donned a stunning off-shoulder black gown by Elie Saab while wrapping her arm around Blanco, who, along with Ramírez, sported a classic black suit. Their connection was evident as Blanco sweetly held her hand.
On Instagram Stories, Blanco further showcased his support for Gomez by sharing a video of her radiant smile on the red carpet, followed by an image of a billboard promoting Emilia Pérez. The billboard, framed by palm trees, boasted the tagline: “The Best Picture of the Year. Emilia Pérez.”
The film narrates the stories of “four remarkable women in Mexico, each pursuing their own happiness” through song and dance, featuring Gomez and Ramírez alongside Zoe Saldaña, Adriana Paz, and Karla Sofía Gascón.
Their recent public appearance followed a fun-filled date at Disneyland the previous month. Blanco shared a cozy moment on his Instagram Stories, showing him and Gomez enjoying the Cars-themed Radiator Springs Racers ride. In the snapshot, Gomez lowered her black mask to share a kiss with Blanco, both dressed comfortably in hoodies.
Gomez and Blanco first confirmed their relationship in December 2023. Reflecting on their bond in a September interview with Vanity Fair, Gomez expressed her feelings, saying, “I’ve never been loved this way. He’s just been a light. A complete light in my life. He’s my best friend. I love telling him everything.”
