BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Zendaya's amusing reaction to spotting Selena Gomez's fiance, Benny Blanco, at the 2025 Golden Globes has gone viral. The moment occurred during a short break in the three-hour awards show when the 'Challengers' star stood up to socialize with other guests.

When Zendaya noticed Blanco nearby, her eyes widened, and she gave a nervous smile. She briefly spoke with the couple as they carefully navigated around the train of her flowing gown while holding hands. 

Both Zendaya and Gomez were up for major awards at the event.

The 'Dune' star lost the Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy award to Demi Moore for 'The Substance', while Gomez lost the Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture award to her co-star Zoe Saldana for 'Emilia Perez'.

Gomez was also nominated for her role in 'Only Murders in the Building', but Jean Smart took home the award for 'Hacks'.

Although Gomez skipped the red carpet, Zendaya seized the opportunity to showcase her striking orange Louis Vuitton gown and Bulgari jewelry ahead of the ceremony. It marked her long-awaited return to the Golden Globes after a hiatus since 2016.

The 28-year-old was without her longtime boyfriend, Tom Holland, but the couple managed to spark engagement rumors when fans noticed a massive diamond ring on the actress' left ring finger.

Meanwhile, Gomez struck a pose inside the Beverly Hilton hotel in a vintage-inspired baby blue off-shoulder dress. She cozied up to Blanco at a reserved table with her 'Emilia Perez' co-stars, director, and other members of the film's crew. 

During her opening monologue, host Nikki Glaser humorously targeted the couple's relationship and engagement. 

The 32-year-old former Disney Channel star and the 36-year-old famed record producer have been in a relationship since 2023.
