Selena Gomez cozies up to boyfriend Benny Blanco in sweet snap… after sharing how Zoe Saldana informed her of Best Actress win at Cannes

Selena Gomez was stylishly casual as she posed for a sweet photo with boyfriend, Benny Blanco, which was uploaded to her Instagram stories on Saturday.

The Love On singer, 31 — whose latest film Emilia Perez received a nine-minute standing ovation at the 77th Cannes Film Festival — also shared a snippet of the moment she learned she had won Best Actress for her role in the musical comedy.

In the adorable snap, the Rare Beauty founder could be seen sporting a warm, tan sweater as well as cream-colored sweatpants that had a floral detail on the right side.

Her brunette locks were parted in the middle, and easily swept back into a simple up do, allowing loose strands to border the sides of her face.

Gomez opted for minimal accessories, and added a pair of oval-shaped sunglasses that offered a fashionable flare to the look.

Selena was pictured sitting at a bar inside a spacious restaurant, with Blanco sitting next to her.

He gently wrapped his arms around the Only Murders In The Building actress and laid a gentle kiss on the back of her head.

The lovebirds were confirmed to be dating late last year in December when the beauty went public with the budding relationship on Instagram.

Since then, Gomez has shared sweet moments from their romance on social media and most recently, Benny touched on the topic of marriage with the star.

He also stated that having children is his ‘next goal’ during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show.

At one point, Stern said that he predicted marriage in their future and Benny replied with, ‘You and me both…I gotta get my act together!’

Howard also asked, ‘When will you propose? You should make the announcement now. When are you going to propose to your very famous girlfriend Selena?’

And Blanco answered, ‘When I look at her…I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.’

‘We laugh all f***ing day, she inspires me. I get home from work, I think I had a good day,’ Benny told Stern.

‘I’m like, “What did you do?” “Oh I just filmed this thing with Meryl Streep and then I went to a fundraiser and now I’m recording.” My day sounds like s**t every day compared to hers,’ he jokingly added.

Elsewhere during the interview, the songwriter talked about wanting a family in the future. ‘That’s like my next goal on the box. I have a lot of God kids, I’ve got a ton of nephews. It’s my thing, I love being around kids!’

Also on Saturday, Selena shared a short reel to her Instagram stories that captured the moment Zoe Saldana revealed to her that she had won Best Actress which is also shared with the cast ensemble for the film titled, Emilia Perez.

In text added towards the bottom of the clip, the star wrote, ‘When @zoesaldana told me we all won best actress!!’

Gomez also proudly uploaded a photo of her Best Actress certificate that she received for her special win.

The premise of the film is: ‘Mexico, today. Lawyer Rita receives an unexpected offer. She has to help a feared cartel boss retire from his business and disappear forever by becoming the woman he’s always dreamed of being,’ per an IMDB synopsis.

Along with the Best Actress win for the female cast ensemble, the movie also received the Jury Prize during the festival.

Last weekend on May 18, Emilia Perez had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and received a nine-minute standing ovation – leaving Gomez in tears.

While recently talking to The Hollywood Reporter after the screening, Saldana expressed, ‘We all cried. I was telling Selena that today there’s a sense of calm.’

‘Maybe because there was so much energy and adrenaline leading up to yesterday’s premiere with the positive reception, now I feel like I’m having an out of body experience.’

The day after the premiere, Gomez stunned while making an appearance during a photo call for the movie (seen above)

Selena – who also joined in on the interview – added, ‘I was very nervous because this is a project that is unlike anything I’ve ever done before.’

‘Even though I have such a small part, it’s such a big and special project that I feel so lucky that I was able to be a part of it. I felt better after the premiere, less nervous.’

The day after the premiere, Gomez stunned while making an appearance during a photo call for the movie.

She was elegant in a strapless, red dress that had floral details along the neckline and also slipped into a pair of sleek, closed-toed red pumps.

And during the screening, Gomez once again made jaws drop while donning a figure-hugging, black dress that contained a white, off-the-shoulder trim on top

Her hair was parted to the side, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves.

She added a pair of sparkling, silver earrings as well as a few chunky rings on each of her hands that offered a flashy flare.
