Love is definitely in the air for newly engaged stars Selena Gomez and her fiancé, Benny Blanco.
On the night of April 8, 2025, the lovebirds were spotted enjoying a rare sporty date night at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where they watched the New York Knicks take on the Boston Celtics in an intense showdown.
Selena and Benny stepped out in coordinated neutral fits. The Sunset Blvd singer looked chic in a long tan wool coat layered over a white top and light-wash denim jeans. She accessorized with gold earrings, a black shoulder bag, and her sparkling engagement ring.
Benny perfectly complemented her, wearing a brown coat over a pale blue shirt paired with bold white-and-brown cowhide print pants. He finished the look with chunky leather boots and his signature gold chain.
Inside the stadium, the couple was seated side-by-side as they posed for an adorable snap shared by the official X account of the New York Knicks.
In the photo, the music producer lovingly placed both hands on Selena’s thighs, while she wrapped one arm around him and rested her other hand on her cheek, flashing her stunning Marquise-cut engagement ring.
The caption of the post perfectly summed it up,

Benny Blanco Opens Up About His Biggest Regret With Selena Gomez
In an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone magazine published on March 17, 2025, Benny opened up about one of his biggest regrets in his relationship with Selena. Reflecting on their love story, the music producer confessed,
“I’ve known her since she was 18 and by the time we’re dating, it’s like, whoa. My biggest regret is that we didn’t get to do this earlier, like we waited this long to be together. But I know it was perfect and it was right”.
Blanco also revealed that while they’re happily engaged, a wedding might not be happening anytime soon. He said,
“I think every day [Selena’s] planned a new wedding in her head. We’re very much, take it one day at a time-type of people. We’re still not over this moment”.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco first crossed paths in 2015 during a music collaboration. Later, in December 2023, their platonic bond evolved into a full-fledged romance.
A year later, on December 12, 2024, the Wizards Of Waverly Place alum announced her engagement on her Instagram. Keeping the caption of the post simple yet deeply meaningful, the songstress wrote,
“forever begins now..”
During an exclusive appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 20, 2025, Selena admitted she had no idea the big question was coming. Recalling the special day, she told Fallon,
“No, I had no idea about it… I woke up and I was very confused on what was happening and where we were going ‘cause it seemed kinda far. I was kind of a little grumpy [that day]…”
