The 2025 Golden Globes, held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, transformed into a romantic evening for some of Hollywood's most prominent couples. The real-life love stories of television and film stars, including Adam Brody and Kristen Bell from Nobody Wants This, were prominently featured on the red carpet as they arrived alongside their partners, Leighton Meester and Dax Shepard. Adam Sandler also departed his typical casual attire to showcase the couple's goals with his wife, Jackie. Additionally, the newly engaged Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco captured significant attention at this year's event.

Beyond the radiant couples strolling together, the gala also rekindled memories of past romances, quickly becoming a subject of discussion that extended beyond the reach of tabloids.

Celebrity couples that overshadowed the Golden Globes 2025 run

Zendaya and Tom Holland

Zendaya made a striking appearance on the red carpet at the 2025 Golden Globes, exuding an aura of royalty. Although she attended the event alone, the influence of her Spider-Man partner was palpable throughout the evening. Her remarkable moment on the red carpet subtly hinted at her engagement to Tom Holland, as he was seen wearing what appeared to be a diamond ring on his finger. This sighting sparked a flurry of speculation online regarding the couple's potential engagement. Fans of the beloved duo took to social media, expressing their joy and excitement, as their dreams of enduring love were reignited. TMZ later confirmed the joyous news, indicating that congratulations are indeed for the couple, as they are reportedly "taking the next step in their relationship" by getting engaged.

Adam Brody and Leighton Meester

Television aficionados of the early 2000s have come full circle, transitioning from their fervent admiration for Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester to her husband, the 'Hot Rabbi,' in 2024. Reflecting on Adam Brody's rise to fame as Seth Cohen in The O.C., the online community erupted with excitement when the actor appeared on the Netflix banner as Noah in Nobody Wants This, igniting a desire for authentic romance amidst a landscape filled with complicated relationships. The nostalgia of earlier television eras was palpable on the Golden Globes red carpet this past Sunday, as Seth Cohen and Blair Waldorf showcased their decade-long marriage—a revelation that surprised many who may have been disconnected from contemporary pop culture. The enduring romantic narrative of this real-life couple took centre stage as videos of Leighton and Adam, appearing as a united front while navigating the crowd at the Globes, went viral. Often referred to as the "nicest couple since the inception of marriage," Brody and Meester reminded us all of the universal longing for genuine connection.

Kate Beckinsale and Matt Rife

The Golden Globes observed the potential rekindling of romance between ex-couple Kate Beckinsale and comedian Matt Rife, suggesting their interactions may have been more intimate than mere casual encounters, as reported by Page Six. The two previously dated in 2017 but ended their relationship after a year. It appears they have entered the New Year with a renewed interest in their past relationship. Rife had previously characterized himself as a “petty a-hole” for publicly criticizing the Underworld actress, even expressing doubts about revisiting their “complicated” romance. However, recent reports indicate that they have moved past any previous animosities, as they were seen together the day after the Netflix event, with sources claiming they were “kissing and being affectionate.” In contrast, a representative for the Serendipity actress dismissed the rumours of them sharing a kiss, stating, “They are friendly exes who were having a fun time speaking.”

Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner

Chalamet and Jenner opted to maintain a low profile regarding their relationship, avoiding any formal announcement. However, the allegedly "unconfirmed" couple has consistently displayed affection for one another, frequently engaging in public displays of affection at various events where they have been photographed together. At last year's Golden Globes, they were once again seen cosying up to each other during the Sunday event, seemingly content in each other's company, even as Timothée did not secure a win for his nomination in A Complete Unknown. Since their romantic connection first surfaced in April 2023, Kylie and Timothée appear unconcerned about public opinion regarding their relationship.

More noteworthy to the online community than the couple's enduring affection was the perceived slight from Demi Moore towards the Kardashian sister, despite her greeting Kylie's boyfriend, who was seated beside her, during the awards ceremony. Tallulah Willis, the daughter of the Substance star, promptly addressed this matter on her Instagram Story, shifting the focus back to her mother's achievement of winning her first acting award in the Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy category: “There was not [sic] snub of any sort; had she seen KJ wanting to congratulate her, she would have fully given her the time and space. Literally just give it all a break and let a gal enjoy her accomplishments!”

Special mention: Exes Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield

The Golden Globes were indeed a Spider-Man lore-friendly gala. One couldn’t help but gush about exes Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield’s sweet reunion at the ceremony. The cult classic Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy pair has remained friends despite diverging onto separate romantic paths since 2015. The former couple’s heartwarming run-in at the Beverly Hilton, captured by photographer Greg Williams, saw the Poor Things actress’ husband, Dave McCary, sharing the wholesome moment. Perhaps most of us need a crash course (more than we know it) on building healthy relationships and maintaining them from the trio. Fortunately, a considerable faction of the virtual world agrees that Stone and Garfield are “the only ex-couple who can say that they’re still friends and have so much respect for each other and they mean it.”
