The 2025 Oscars brought Hollywood’s biggest stars together on March 2, and among them were Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, one of the most talked-about couples of the awards season. The two have attended several red carpet events together over the past year, making them a fan-favorite pair. However, a funny mistake on social media had fans buzzing even more than their red carpet appearance.
According to The Academy’s official X account, while sharing a post about Gomez and Blanco arriving at the event, they mistakenly wrote that she was attending with singer Bad Bunny instead of Benny Blanco. Fans quickly noticed the mix-up and flooded the comments, pointing out the error. Within minutes, the Academy corrected the post and changed the name to Blanco’s.
Although it was just a simple typo, Gomez’s fans found it hilarious. Social media users immediately began sharing memes and jokes about the mix-up, turning the moment into an internet sensation. One user tweeted, “They tweeted ‘Selena Gomez and Bad Bunny’ with their whole chest, I’m screaming lmfaooooo.” Another posted, “Everyone saw that Selena Gomez and Bad Bunny post from The Academy?” The moment quickly spread across X, with many joining in on the fun.
Despite the online mix-up, Gomez and Blanco enjoyed the Oscars night together. The couple, who got engaged in 2024, have been inseparable during Gomez’s promotional tour for Emilia Pérez. Blanco has continuously supported her at major events, including the 2024 Golden Globes, and their Oscars appearance was no different.
Throughout the night, the pair was seen on camera cheering and giving standing ovations, especially when Gomez’s Emilia Pérez co-star, Zoe Saldaña, took the stage. Even with the name confusion, fans continue to adore Gomez and Blanco as one of the most beloved couples of their generation.
