Scarlett Johansson shared her observation about Selena Gomez, 32, and Benny Blanco, 36, at the 2025 Oscar ceremony earlier this month.
The Marvel star, 40, was seated next to the engaged couple at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
While she was backstage after presenting the Oscar for Best Makeup and Hair Styling with June Squibb, 95, she shared some intel into what the couple were like.
‘Well, I’m sitting next to Selena and Benny and I have to say… I’m seeing a lot of very cute, honeymoon-phase cuteness happening,’ Johansson told People, making a face of approval.
This isn’t the first time Scarlett has talked about the Only Murders in the Building star’s engagement.
During an interview on Today with Jenna and Friends in January, she said, ‘I don’t know her personally, but I feel like now I’m invested in this,’ she said, calling the couple ‘so cute.’

Gomez and Blanco were at the Oscars to support Selena’s film Emilia Perez.
The film was nominated for 13 Academy Awards and took home two, for Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldana and Best Original Song El Mal.
The loved up couple got engaged in December and have been dating since June 2023.
On March 21, the couple’s album, I Said I Love You First, will be released and it is their first collaborative effort as a couple.
The project is a celebration of their love story and gives ‘fans a unique window into their relationship,’ according to a press release.
Earlier this week, Selena shared a hilarious GRWM video in which she asked her fiancé to apply her makeup for her.
She was promoting her Rare Beauty line in the video as she Benny asked the Wizards of Waverly Place alum about pressed powder.
‘Do I do it with my fingers?’ Benny asked.

‘Well, there are brushes but go ahead!’ Selena – who boasts 654.8M social media followers – replied.
Gomez looked worried as Blanco (born Benjamin Levin) announced he was going to put brown liquid contour on her.
‘Okay, okay, so like what am I contouring?’ the 11-time Grammy nominee laughed.
The ‘Texican’ pop star braced herself as Benny began dripping the contour way too high on her cheekbones.
‘I always see you do stuff like this,’ noted Blanco, while smearing it far too close to Selena’s nose.
‘Why isn’t it doing anything? When you do it it looks so good.’
The Dr. Luke protégé proceeded to apply lip oil on Gomez’s pink pout and drops of liquid highlighter over her thoroughly brown cheeks.
‘Oh that’s cute,’ Benny said putting highlighter on the tip of her nose.

The two-time Grammy nominee got excited about Blanco applying a different highlighter that was ‘an interesting color’ until he smeared it on her jawline.
The Virginia-born musician then made sure to fully mist himself with setting spray before putting it on Selena.
‘I think it looks pretty good,’ Benny concluded.
Last year, Business of Fashion reported that Gomez’s five-year-old cosmetics company was valued at around $2B with annual net sales exceeding $400M, and they donate one percent of all sales to her mental health organization, Rare Beauty Impact Fund.
