In a glamorous turn of events at the 2026 Golden Globes, Sir Philip Green's son, Brandon Green, made a surprise public appearance to support his long-term girlfriend, Hollywood star Tessa Thompson. The couple attended the star-studded ceremony at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday night, marking a rare red-carpet moment for the typically private pair.
A Stylish Arrival and a Night of Celebration
The Creed actress, 42, commanded attention in a stunning green sequin strapless gown, complete with a dramatic, flowing train. Brandon Green, 31, opted for classic Hollywood elegance in a sharp black suit, shirt, and tie. Their coordinated appearance signalled a united front as they posed closely for photographers.
Their night of celebration continued at the official Netflix afterparty, where they were spotted hitting the dancefloor alongside the streaming giant's Chief Content Officer, Bela Bajaria. The sighting confirmed their status as a solid item within elite entertainment circles.
A Relationship in the Spotlight
While Tessa Thompson is famously discreet about her personal life, her romance with the British businessman has been a consistent feature in the gossip columns for over a year. The pair were first linked in March 2024 after being seen looking cosy at a Los Angeles Lakers game.
Since that initial sighting, they have enjoyed a series of public dates, including a summer outing to see Stevie Wonder at BST Hyde Park in London. Brandon, who was previously in an 18-month relationship with actress and activist Emma Watson, appears to have found a lasting connection with Thompson.
Tessa Thompson, who identifies as bisexual, has been linked to several high-profile figures in the past, most notably musician Janelle Monáe. Brandon Green has also had a colourful dating history, including associations with several models.
