Scarlett Johansson had a front-row seat to the romance between Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco at the 97th Academy Awards, and according to her, the newly engaged couple was nothing short of adorable.
The Jurassic World Rebirth star, who presented at the Oscars alongside June Squibb, shared a sweet behind-the-scenes moment during a conversation with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos.
When asked if she had overheard any gossip at the star-studded event, Johansson, 40, quickly turned the attention to Gomez, 32, and Blanco, 36.

“Well, I’m sitting next to Selena and Benny, and I have to say… I’m seeing a lot of very cute, honeymoon-phase cuteness happening,” Johansson said, even making an approving expression to emphasize their affection.
A Romantic Oscars Date Night
Gomez and Blanco’s attendance at the prestigious ceremony was particularly special, as Gomez’s film Emilia Pérez was a major contender, earning 13 nominations and ultimately taking home two awards—Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldaña and Best Original Song for El Mal.
The couple, who have been inseparable since their engagement in December 2024, made a glamorous appearance at the event, looking effortlessly elegant as they enjoyed the evening together.
Their Oscars date night was just the latest in a string of high-profile outings. The pair has been spotted together at major events like the 2025 Golden Globes, where they shared sweet moments on the red carpet, and have spent intimate celebrations together, including Thanksgiving and even volunteering to serve food to first responders during the Los Angeles wildfires.
A Love Story Told Through Music
Beyond their public appearances, Gomez and Blanco are also preparing for a special professional milestone—the release of their first collaborative album, I Said I Love You First, set to drop on March 21.
The album, described as a personal and heartfelt project, promises to offer fans an inside look at their relationship through music.
While the two have worked together in the past on songs like Same Old Love and I Can’t Get Enough, this will be their most significant joint project, marking a new chapter in both their professional and personal lives.
A Proposal to Remember
Johansson isn’t the only one gushing about Gomez and Blanco’s relationship. In a recent Interview Magazine feature, the couple reflected on their engagement, revealing that Blanco proposed with a surprise Taco Bell picnic on December 11.

The producer humorously admitted that he had to sneak around leading up to the proposal, nearly giving himself away multiple times.
“It couldn’t have come at a better time because I was starting to f— up,” Blanco joked. “At the end, she was starting to get upset because she was like, ‘Why aren’t you coming home tonight?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, I’m just at my friend’s.’ I almost did it early. But I nailed it, I think.”
“You did,” Gomez confirmed, proving just how in sync they are.
