Selena Gomez Defends Benny Blanco Amid Cheating Rumors

Los Angeles, California – Selena Gomez is addressing recent rumors surrounding her fiancé, Benny Blanco, allegedly cheating on her. The speculation erupted after Blanco was seen dining with Gomez’s former assistant and close friend, Theresa Marie Mingus.

The rumors picked up traction after fans noted that Gomez unfollowed Mingus on Instagram, prompting widespread speculation about the state of their relationships. Further fueling the gossip, social media commentators claimed that Blanco had subscribed to Mingus’ OnlyFans page, although there is no evidence to support this claim.

Gomez shared an Instagram story featuring Blanco playing with their family dog and his nephew, seemingly to counter the cheating allegations. The post came just a day after the actress unfollowed Mingus, a move that stirred up even more reactions from fans.

Blanco’s outing with Mingus happened around the same timeframe Gomez was reportedly in a more distanced relationship with her long-time friend. The couple has been engaged since December 2024, after Blanco proposed with a Taco Bell-themed engagement.

Despite the rumors, both Gomez and Blanco appear to maintain a solid relationship. They recently collaborated on their first album together, titled I Said I Love You First, and have been known for their strong bond over the years.

In a recent podcast, Blanco recalled how Gomez would often arrive at his house early for their dates. “She would park outside and wait, not realizing I could see her,” he shared, adding that Gomez admitted to feeling nervous about their meetings.

As the rumors swirl, neither Gomez nor Blanco has commented directly on the allegations involving Mingus. For now, it seems the couple remains focused on their relationship and upcoming projects.
