Pop star Selena Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco were spotted enjoying a romantic evening at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, April 8, where they watched the New York Knicks face off against the Boston Celtics. The official Knicks X account captured the couple’s sweet courtside moment, sharing a photo with the caption: “Couple of love birds.”
In the candid shot, Blanco, 37, rested his hands affectionately on Gomez’s legs as the 32-year-old singer smiled brightly, her hands framing her face and showcasing her stunning marquise-cut diamond engagement ring. Gomez kept her look casual in blue jeans and a tan suede jacket, while Blanco sported tie-dye slacks and a Coors Rodeo shirt.
The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024 after dating for over a year, have become known for their public displays of affection. However, during a recent appearance on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, they revealed their relationship required significant work to reach this point.
“At the beginning, there were a few almost-sabotages,” Blanco admitted, explaining that Gomez initially struggled with trust. The singer confirmed this, acknowledging she had “sincere” doubts early on. Blanco emphasized the importance of small gestures, like sending thoughtful texts, to build their connection.
Gomez first confirmed their relationship in December 2023 by liking and commenting on fan posts about them on Instagram. Last month, the couple released their collaborative album, I Said I Love You First, which offers fans an intimate look at their journey—from their first meeting to their future plans together.
As they left the game, the pair coordinated in matching coats, continuing to display the playful, loving dynamic that has endeared them to fans. Their courtside appearance marks another chapter in their high-profile romance, blending their shared love of sports, music, and each other.
