Even major celebs are prone to embarrassing moments—and they have the added factor of being in the spotlight to make things worse! Selena Gomez was recently a victim of an awkward moment when she and her husband, Benny Blanco, attended a Laker’s game last week. While the pair walked to their seats, Selena fell behind Benny by a few steps, meaning when she outstretched her hand for him to hold, he had no idea! Keep reading to see the video.

Benny Blanco Accidentally Ignores Selena Gomez

Fans at the Laker’s game captured this awkward moment on video and it’s since gone viral on social media. One video in particular, posted to TikTok by user @BennyandSelena, shows an up close view of the incident. As the pair are walking to their seats (court-side, of course!), Selena falls into step behind Benny and reaches for his hand as to not get left behind, which goes unnoticed by Benny, who keeps walking.

Then, Selena is stopped by fans who ask to take a selfie, and being her kind and friendly self, she stopped for a snap. It’s at this moment that Benny realizes his wife isn’t right behind him anymore, and whips around in time to join in on the selfie. The newlyweds then walk off together, hand in hand.

"The way that he ignored her," another person commented.

Others looked to the sweet moment after the selfie: "Awww so sweet," one fan wrote. "Benny stopped amid walking and went back to get his baby!"

"Wow, he really loves her!" a final fan said. "The moment of panic he had when he realized she wasn't next to him."
