The loved-up couple could be seen up on the big screen as comedian Glaser noted Gomez's nominations.
"Selena Gomez is here," she began. "A double nominee tonight for Emilia Perez and Only Murders [In The Building], and she's here tonight with her new fiancé Benny Blanco.
"And Benny Blanco is here because of the genie that granted that wish. Man, lucky guy."
The pair clearly took the joke well with Gomez miming that she was in the lucky one of the two, while music producer Blanco simply laughed and kissed his soon-to-be-bride on the shoulder.
Fans have since rushed to social media to share their reactions on the situ with one X user writing: "Selena Gomez’s fiancé, Benny Blanco, getting roasted at this year’s #GoldenGlobes was the best part of show."
"Selena and Benny bracing for impact bc they knew Nikki was gonna roast them," a second piped up.
A third then quipped: "Omg not a Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco joke omg."
"At least Selena and Benny were laughing at the joke," praised another.
