Selena Gomez seems to be at a crossroads in her relationship with Benny Blanco. Four months after their engagement, the power couple has been plagued with affair rumors involving one of her best friends, Theresa Marie.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed something amiss when Gomez unfollowed Marie on Instagram. The pair have been best pals for over a decade after meeting while working together. Their strong bond was on display in 2019 when the Same Old Love crooner marked their fifth friendship anniversary with a post on Instagram. “I met Theresa 5 years ago. We worked together and became best friends. She has taught me how to see life in a fun, carefree and uplifting way,” Gomez gushed at the time.
While Marie is missing from the former child star’s list, it turns out Blanco still follows her on Instagram. The Daily Mail reports that Blanco and Marie were recently spotted enjoying dinner without the Rare Beauty founder. A TikTok footage taken by a fan showed them sitting at an outdoor restaurant. Marie, who is an OnlyFans creator, sat super close to the Eastside artist, while a fan sang Gomez’s song.
It didn’t take long for fans to put two and two together and come up with conspiracy theories. Some speculate that the meeting with Blanco speaks to something sinister going on behind the scenes. Hence, the reason why Gomez unfollowed Marie on Instagram. However, others defended the producer, suggesting it was an innocent meeting to perhaps plan a surprise for the Wizards of Waverly Place actress.
Inside Benny Blanco’s Alleged Affair After Selena Gomez Engagement
Apart from their dinner meetings, curious fans discovered more hidden clues about Benny Blanco and Theresa Marie. According to fan theory, the model has visited the record producer at his home when Selena Gomez wasn’t around. A December 2024 video on Theresa’s page showed her in Blanco’s kitchen, but Gomez was nowhere to be seen. The model also celebrated Blanco earning the title of People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2024. She shared a snap of the magazine cover on her Instagram Story.
While no concrete proof backs the claims of an affair, fans are already running wild with theories. Many have slammed Gomez for taking her anger out on Marie and not Blanco.
“You’d unfollow your friend of 11 years just because your fiancé complained about them one time? That’s insanely unhealthy and immature,” one fan criticized.
“Why wouldn’t she unfollow her boyfriend? (Break up with him),” another advised.
“She’s the type of friend that ALWAYS PRIORITIZES her boyfriend first instead of her friend,” another harsh remark read, to which another replied, “So, she’s insecure.”
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s romance has been under scrutiny since they went public in December 2023. It might take a lot for them to survive an affair if the rumors are true.
