Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco turned heads courtside at the Los Angeles Lakers’ matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night. The newlyweds were spotted enjoying the action from prime seats as Luka Doncic led the Lakers to a commanding victory.
Doncic poured in 34 points, including 20 in the first quarter, while adding 12 rebounds and seven assists. The Lakers secured their seventh straight win, extending their record to 13-2 in 15 games, with Austin Reaves contributing 33 points and eight assists.
The Lakers raced ahead early, outscoring the Pelicans 46-27 in the opening quarter and leading 77-57 at halftime. New Orleans, missing key players Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy III, made a third-quarter push but could not close the gap. Despite LeBron James sitting out to manage a sore foot, the Lakers’ depth proved decisive as Deandre Ayton added 22 points and 12 rebounds, while Rui Hachimura chipped in 14 points.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco courtside experience
Gomez and Blanco, who tied the knot in a private Santa Barbara ceremony two months ago, were all smiles as they watched Doncic dominate the floor. The duo appeared to have fun at the game as they were spotted having beautiful moments.
Selena shared glimpses of their first Thanksgiving as a married couple on Instagram earlier in the week, posting cozy photos of the couple in their backyard adorned with flowers, candles, and a long dining table for family celebrations.
“Most thankful for all of you today…Happy Thanksgiving,” Gomez captioned her post.
The couple’s relationship has been marked by both personal and professional collaboration. Gomez credited Blanco as a creative partner on her Grammy-nominated album I Said I Love You First, calling their collaboration “really cute” while reflecting on their shared stories in the music. The Lakers outing marks another milestone in the couple’s public appearances, blending personal joy with high-profile events.
Luka Doncic shines despite Lakers’ roster adjustments
Doncic’s performance on Sunday highlighted his all-around impact, especially with LeBron James resting due to sciatica. Austin Reaves’ 33 points complemented Doncic’s star turn, while Ayton and Hachimura provided balanced scoring.
The Pelicans relied on Saddiq Bey’s 22 points and Bryce McGowens’ 23, but New Orleans could not overcome the Lakers’ early surge. With Doncic leading the way, Los Angeles displayed offensive cohesion, maintaining dominance despite key absences.
The Lakers’ victory shows Doncic’s emerging chemistry with the team and his ability to deliver under pressure, while Gomez and Blanco’s courtside presence added star-studded appeal to an already thrilling matchup.
