Selena Gomez addresses cheating rumors involving Benny Blanco

The timing raised eyebrows, as rumors had been swirling about a possible rift between the two

Selena Gomez may be horizontal, but she’s not lying down when it comes to shutting down rumors. This week, the 32-year-old singer and Rare Beauty mogul gave fans a subtle but solid signal that everything’s still cool with her longtime friend Theresa Marie, despite a recent unfollow that sent the internet spiraling into full-blown gossip mode.

On Wednesday night, Selena dropped a nostalgic Instagram post featuring a curated throwback slideshow of sweet snapshots with her inner circle. Front and center was a cozy framed photo of Taylor Swift and a smiling snap of her with Theresa Marie.

The timing raised eyebrows, as rumors had been swirling about a possible rift between the two after fans noticed Selena had quietly unfollowed Theresa on Instagram. Internet sleuths, never ones to miss a potential breadcrumb, started piecing together their drama, some even speculating that Benny Blanco, Selena’s fiancé, had something to do with it.

The pair first met while working together in 2018, and by 2019, Selena was publicly gushing over their friendship. In a heartfelt post, she wrote: “She has taught me how to see life in a fun, carefree, and uplifting way. She has shown me how to be a strong and fearless woman… I love you and I am so proud of you.” The bond seemed tight, and their last public appearance was just two months ago, smiling and celebrating at a birthday bash with friend Anna Collins.

With Selena’s engagement to music producer Benny Blanco becoming more public (and honestly, more adorable), TikTok and Twitter detectives started spinning theories of infidelity and drama between Benny and Theresa. But here’s the thing: none of it had any legs.
