Selena Gomez embraced the spirit of fall with a romantic, Disney-themed date night with her boyfriend, Benny Blanco.
On September 29, 2024, Blanco shared a glimpse of the couple’s fun adventure by sharing a PDA-filled snap on Instagram from their visit to Universal Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
The post, which was uploaded on his stories, featured the couple enjoying a ride on the Cars-themed Radiator Springs Racers.
For their playful outing, Selena and Benny opted for coordinating casual looks. The Emilia Perez actress wore an oversized gray hoodie, while Benny sported a purple hoodie with minimal black graphics, perfectly complementing her relaxed style.
The two kept their faces partially hidden behind black surgical masks. Blanco had his mask fully covering his mouth, while Selena pulled hers down slightly, leaning in to share a kiss with Benny, lightly pecking him on the lips over his mask.
