Selena Gomez Came Home to the Sweetest Surprise From Fiancé Benny Blanco After 2025 Emmy Awards

Selena Gomez seemed like she had a blast at Sunday night’s (Sept. 14) 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards. After walking the red carpet in an elegant floor-length red Louis Vuitton halter gown with a long train alongside tuxedo-wearing fiancé Benny Blanco, Gomez took her seat next to Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short to celebrate the Hulu series that came in with seven nominations.

Not to worry, even though the show came away empty-handed, Gomez had a blast, as evidenced by an Instagram post on Monday morning (Sept. 15) in which Gomez wrote she was, “grateful for all these people forever and always. Came home to a surprise my baby put together.”

Following an initial slide of her and Blanco smiling at each other on the carpet, she posted a shot of the surprise Blanco set up for her at her house afterwards: a forest of candles in glass vases arrayed around her swimming pool and pool deck. Standing with her arms held out to the side and peering back at the camera with a satisfied smile, Gomez looked enchanted by Blanco’s latest romantic gesture.

Benny took the gratitude in style, writing in the comments, “i win an award every night (you).”

The picture roll also featured pics from the afterparty, where Gomez hung with Only Murders co-star Richard Kind and some crew members from the show, as well as a few moodily lit candids. Gomez also posed with co-star Martin from their seats at the Peacock Theater, added a video of Blanco’s candlelit surprise, a shot of her hugging Cate Blanchett from behind and a final snap of her, Martin and third show lead Martin Short in their seats at the awards. Her Instagram Story recycled some of the same snaps, plus a shot of her feet on the end of a chaise lounge as she enjoyed the candle surprise.

Blanco and Gomez revealed their engagement in December, though the couple have not yet announced their wedding date.
