Reese Witherspoon and Selena Gomez reunited for a sweet moment at the 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards on Saturday night.
As the two women crossed paths on the red carpet, the 47-year-old Legally Blonde actress had nothing but praise for the 31-year-old singer, who released her flirty new single Love On earlier this week.
‘Your new song and video, so good,’ the mother-of-three exclaimed as Gomez approached her for a hug at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles. She was dressed in a strapless red gown from Elie Saab’s spring 2024 haute couture collection.
The remark made the Only Murders in the Building smile from ear to ear, and the two exchanged hugs.
Witherspoon then placed both hands on her hips and studied her friend’s face.
After studying Gomez’s expression, the Oscar winner said, ‘You look happy.’
The Disney Channel star nodded enthusiastically before claiming she could ‘feel’ the joy radiating from her.
While Gomez did not reveal what was making her so happy, the singer recently stated that her love life has never been better in her relationship with boyfriend Benny Blanco.
During a Friday interview with Zane Lowe, the two-time Grammy nominee revealed their romance, which they kept hidden for six months.
‘Without going into too much detail, I think it’s really important to meet someone who respects you, and I think it’s really nice to be able to lean on someone who understands the world that I live in,’ the Rare Beauty founder explained.
Gomez confirmed her relationship with Blanco in early December, revealing that they had been quietly dating for six months.
In recent months, the couple has not shied away from stepping out together on a number of occasions, including attending the Golden Globes, Emmy Awards, and sitting courtside at a Lakers game last month.
Furthermore, they both have a habit of posting romantic pictures on social media.
She has recently shown off a diamond-encrusted ‘B’ initial on her finger as a tribute to her new man.
Selena was previously linked to Zayn Malik and Andrew Taggart of The Chainsmokers, and she famously dated Justin Bieber on and off from 2009 to early 2018, as well as The Weeknd in 2017.
Meanwhile, he previously dated Elsie Hewitt, whom he appears to have met on the set of his and Juice WRLD’s Graduation music video from 2019.
Gomez vehemently defended their relationship in December, after fans accused him of’shading’ her previously.
Selena fans were particularly outraged by a resurfaced interview in which Benny appeared to call her a ‘cookie-cutter pop artist’ while praising her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber.
In 2020, he told podcast host Zach Sang, “They’re like, ‘This is my new single and here’s my makeup line.'”
Though that could easily be a jab at Gomez, who owns the makeup line Rare Beauty, she appears unconcerned.
When one fan called her ‘corny’ for sticking by him despite the shade, Gomez responded, ‘Lol yeah, and he’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts’
She also told another angry fan, who claimed Blanco had ‘cursed’ the star, that ‘he has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me.’
The Disney Channel alum ended with, ‘The end.’
But Gomez’s responses did not end there.
One fan wrote a lengthy comment accusing Gomez of repeatedly dating ‘crusty, problematic music men.’
They believe she should pursue a “rich, educated, mature handsome man” who will treat her with love and respect and share her values and life goals.
