Selena Gomez Shares Intimate Photo of Herself Kissing Benny Blanco at the 2024 Golden Globes: 'I Won'
Selena Gomez may have lost her category to The Bear's Ayo Edebiri at the 81st annual Golden Globes on Sunday night, but she still feels like a winner.
While she may not have taken home the trophy for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series, Comedy or Musical, the 31-year-old superstar assured her followers for her role as Mabel Mora in Only Murders in the Building that she will be more then satisfied with her love life.
“I won,” she captioned an intimate photo of herself and her boyfriend Benny Blanco sharing a passionate kiss.
The image showed the Single Soon hitmaker tenderly holding the back of her husband's neck as she rocked the red and black Giorgio Armani dress she wore to the star-studded awards ceremony at The Beverly Hilton.

She paired the crimson dress with a matching pair of metallic heels and diamond-encrusted platinum jewelry, including huge earrings, multiple bracelets and three rings.
For the occasion, the two-time Grammy nominee styled her brunette locks in an elegant updo and glamorous makeup look that enhanced her natural beauty.
A source said this last week People that Gomez is “super happy and present” during her romance with Blanco, 35.
“She seems to be really feeling it right now,” the insider revealed. “Maybe that's Benny, or maybe that's just where she's at personally and professionally.”
As for how the singer's inner circle feels about her new relationship, the outlet claims that “everyone is so happy that she is happy.”
The source noted that her Only Murders in the Building costars and crew consider “any friend of Selena's” a “boyfriend” of theirs.
Since going public with the record producer, the lovebirds have been sharing snaps together on social media and were recently spotted at a Lakers game earlier this month.
During the Lakers vs Heat game in Los Angeles on Wednesday, the duo, who secretly dated for six months before announcing their relationship, didn't shy away from engaging in some PDA.
Lucky in love: Although she may not have taken home the trophy for best performance by a female actor in a television series, comedy or musical, for her role of Mabel Mora in Only Murders in the Building, the 31-year-old assured superstar told her followers that she was more than satisfied with her love life (seen at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards)
At one point, Blanco planted a kiss on her hand as she rested her head on his shoulder.
She recently showed off a diamond-encrusted 'B' initial on her finger, as a tribute to her new man.
Selena was previously linked to Zayn Malik and Andrew Taggart of The Chainsmokers and famously dated Justin Bieber from 2009 to early 2018, and The Weeknd in 2017.
In mid-December, the Spring Breakers star angrily defended her boyfriend against fans who accused him of shading her in the past.
Fans were particularly upset about a resurfaced interview in which Benny appeared to call her a “cookie-cutter pop artist” while praising her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber.

“As you know, they say, 'This is my new single and here's my makeup line,'” he shared podcast host Zach Sang in 2020.
While that could easily have been a joke to Gomez — owner of makeup brand Rare Beauty — she made it clear that the comment doesn't bother her.
When a fan slammed her as “corny” for sticking with him despite the shade, Gomez replied, “Lol yeah and he's still better than anyone I've ever been with.” Facts'
She also told another upset fan, who said Blanco has “cursed” the star, that “he's the best thing that ever happened to me.”

The Disney Channel alum closed it out with, “The end.”
But Gomez's answers didn't stop there.
One fan wrote a lengthy comment accusing Gomez of always choosing to date “crusty, problematic music men.”
They think she should pursue someone who is “a wealthy, educated, mature, handsome man who would treat her with love and respect and share the same values and life goals.”
Gomez said the analysis of himself and Blanco was “so wrong.”

She then fired back at a rude troll who suggested she “couldn't get (a man) better” than the music producer if she wanted to.
“(LAUGHING EMOJI) I feel sorry for you,” Gomez wrote.
Selena vowed she would 'never be with af**boy again' – an apparent criticism of ex Justin – thanks to more than a decade of therapy.
Gomez said that if her fans “really care about me,” they will recognize that she is at her “happiest” right now.
“If you're not interested, feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to rule my life. Someday,” she wrote.
'I'm ready. If you can't accept me at my happiest, then don't be in (my) life at all.”
