Selena Gomez fans were not impressed on Sunday night when they saw her fiancé Benny Blanco’s ‘disgusting’ habit during his appearance at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards.
The 32-year-old actress, who was praised for her healthy reaction when she lost a gong to her Emilia Perez co-star Zoe Saldana, stood close to Benny, 36, throughout the ceremony and the pair looked more loved-up than ever.
But the happy couple found themselves in the spotlight when host Nikki Glaser made a rather awkward joke about their relationship during her opening monologue at the annual ceremony, which took place at The Beverly Hilton.
“Selena Gomez is here, double nominated tonight for Emelia Perez and Only Murders, and she’s here tonight with her new fiancé Benny Blanco,” Nikki, 40, said.
As the audience applauded the famous couple, the comedian then added: ‘And Benny Blanco is here thanks to the genie who granted him that wish, man, lucky man!’
Selena could be seen laughing awkwardly as Benny kissed her on the shoulder, before Nikki told them: ‘I love you,’ before continuing with her speech.
However, eagle-eyed viewers noticed something very specific about music producer Benny and rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to comment.
‘#latestnewsBenny Blanco chewing gum with his mouth open at the Golden Globes,’ one person posted.

The happy couple looked more in love than ever when they arrived at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.
Another person wrote: ‘Benny Blanco Nasty chewing gum with open mouth at the Golden Globes.’
A third user commented: ‘Benny Blanco chewing gum with his mouth open OMG I feel SICK.’
And a fourth added: ‘@selenagomez Tell Benny Blanco to stop chewing gum with his mouth open, yuck!! #GoldenBalloons.’
After the ceremony, Selena and Benny headed to a Golden Globes after-party at Spago in Beverly Hills.
Continuing the celebrations at the Californian restaurant, they were joined by Nicole Avant and Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos.
Selena donned her second outfit of the night, opting for an oversized satin jacket with a black bandeau dress.
She added a pop of color with a touch of red lipstick and styled her hair in sleek Old Hollywood-style waves.
Earlier in the evening, the actress looked radiant in a baby blue Prada dress that featured an off-the-shoulder neckline and a Cinderella skirt.
Eagle-eyed viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, to comment on Benny’s gum-chewing habit.
One fan begged Selena to tell her man to “stop chewing gum with his mouth open.”
Selena was nominated for two awards at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards: Best Female Performance in a Supporting Role for Emilia Pérez and Best Female Performance in a Television Series for Only Murders in the Building.
Unfortunately, she lost the first award to her Emilia Pérez co-star Zoe Saldana and the second to Hacks actress Jean Smart.
Elsewhere, Selena’s engagement ring sparked a humorous reaction from Martin Short at the Golden Globes last night.
