Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's latest date night was nothing but net!

The couple were spotted Wednesday night at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, sitting courtside as they took in a game between the L.A. Lakers and the Miami Heat, which the away team won 110-96.

Gomez, 31, and Blanco, 35, weren't shy about their mutual affection, showing some PDA as they cuddled close and held hands.

The pair's outing comes shortly after Gomez posted a loved-up photograph of herself and the music producer on her Instagram Story Saturday, ahead of the New Year's holiday.

Gomez, who wore a dark oversized sweater, smiled at the camera as Blanco hugged her from behind, wearing a bright print hoodie as he planted a kiss on the Only Murders in the Building actress's neck.

Gomez appeared to confirm her relationship with Blanco — whom she has been dating for more than six months — in early December, when a fan account posted a black-and-white image of her and the producer together. The image was then shared by Pop Crave.

In the comments section of the fan post, the "Come & Get It" singer added a message about Blanco and replied to comments written by fans.

"He is my absolute everything in my heart," she wrote, before replying to another fan by saying, "Then why has he been the best thing that's ever happened to me. The end."

Gomez had already dropped a heavy hint about her relationship status and the identity of her new man on Dec. 3, when she replied to an Instagram post from a since-deleted fan account that included an image of her and Blanco with the title: "Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is In a Relationship."

In the comments section, she responded with a simple message, "Facts," before sharing a black and white selfie on her Instagram Story that showed her leaning against what appeared to be Blanco's chest.

Gomez recently opened up about her career and goals in a new interview on the latest episode of the SmartLess podcast, saying, “I do feel like I have one more album in me but I would probably choose acting,” when asked about her two passions.

She added, "I am going to want to chill because I’m tired. I wanted to be an actress, I never really intended on being a singer full-time but apparently that hobby turned into something else."

“I don’t think I’m the best singer but I do know how to tell stories and I love being able to make songs," Gomez continued.

The Wizards of Waverly Place alum explained on the podcast how her music career began and how she ended up having to juggle both singing and acting. She went on to admit that her outlook has since changed.

“The older I get, the more I’m kind of like, I would like to find something to just settle on,” she said.
