Selena Gomez recently shared a sweet series of photos on Instagram, giving fans a peek into some quality time with her “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars. On April 6, she posted a carousel of pictures with the caption, “5 years and counting with these knuckleheads,” showing the close bond she has with the cast. It’s clear Selena really cherishes these friendships, especially amid her busy acting and music career.
While lots of fans were bummed to see Selena and her fiancé, Benny Blanco, miss the 2025 Met Gala, the couple had a touching reason for skipping the glitzy event. The last time Selena walked the Met Gala red carpet was seven years ago, and this year, she chose to spend the weekend celebrating more personal moments instead.
Instead of a night of high fashion, Selena’s weekend was filled with celebrations of engagements and nostalgia. She shared snapshots from a cozy supper club gathering that featured childhood favorite foods and an engagement party vibe. In the photos, Selena looked effortlessly charming in a floral white dress with lace details and a cream cardigan. She posed happily with a friend who had just gotten engaged, while Benny Blanco enjoyed some cheesy bread alongside friends. Though Selena’s engagement ring wasn’t fully on display, Benny was clearly there, supporting the special occasion.
The couple got engaged last December in a delightfully unexpected way. Benny’s proposal was creative and low-key—a fake park picnic with takeout from Taco Bell. According to sources, Selena was so surprised by the unique gesture that she almost didn’t show up!
Aside from their personal milestones, Selena has had a bustling year professionally. Earlier in 2025, she and Benny attended the Oscars, where Selena presented an award and proudly supported her film Emilia Pérez, which scored 13 nominations. She herself was nominated for several big awards, including a BAFTA, Golden Globe, and SAG Award for her role as Jessi in the movie. Adding to the excitement, Selena and Benny released their debut collaborative album, I Said I Love You First.
All in all, while Selena skipped the spotlight of the Met Gala, she’s clearly celebrating love, friendship, and career wins in style.
