In a glamorous surprise at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, Brandon Green, the 31-year-old son of retail tycoon Sir Philip Green, stepped onto the red carpet to support his Hollywood star girlfriend, Tessa Thompson. The couple attended the star-studded ceremony at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday night, marking one of their most high-profile public appearances together.
A Red Carpet Debut
The Creed actress, 42, commanded attention in a stunning green sequin strapless gown featuring a dramatic, sweeping train. Brandon, a businessman, opted for classic black-tie elegance in a smart suit, shirt, and tie. The pair were photographed cosying up together amidst the A-list crowd, confirming their status as one of Hollywood's intriguing new power couples.
Their night continued at the official Netflix afterparty, where they were spotted hitting the dancefloor alongside the streaming giant's Chief Content Officer, Bela Bajaria. This very public display follows over a year of speculation about their relationship, which began when they were first linked in March 2024 after being seen looking happy and relaxed at a Los Angeles Lakers game.
A Look at Their Romance & Past Relationships
While Tessa Thompson is famously private about her personal life, her connection to Brandon Green has been consistently visible. Since that initial sighting, they have been photographed on numerous dates, including enjoying a Stevie Wonder concert at BST Hyde Park in London.
Tessa, who identifies as bisexual, has previously been linked to singer and actress Janelle Monáe after they collaborated on the Yoga music video in 2015. Brandon's own romantic history includes an 18-month relationship with actress and activist Emma Watson, which began in 2021, and prior associations with several models.
