Selena Gomez is putting an end to the gossip—without saying a word. The 32-year-old pop star and beauty mogul subtly addressed recent rumors about her fiancé Benny Blanco allegedly cheating with OnlyFans creator Theresa Marie by sharing a nostalgic Instagram post that showcased her close bond with her longtime friend.
The buzz kicked off after fans noticed that Gomez had unfollowed Theresa on social media, sparking speculation of a rift between the two and possible romantic drama involving Blanco. But Gomez’s latest post says otherwise. In a heartfelt throwback photo carousel shared Wednesday evening, Selena included a candid shot with Theresa, silencing whispers about a fallout or betrayal.
“Lil blast from the past because basically I’m lying horizontal rn and reminiscing bout some memories,” Gomez wrote in the caption, which included photos of past moments with close friends, including a framed picture of her with Taylor Swift.
Fans quickly picked up on the post’s subtext. With no direct mention of the rumors, Gomez let the images—and the lack of tension in them—do the talking. Theresa last appeared on Selena’s Instagram on March 10, when the two were seen smiling at a birthday party with friend Anna Collins.
Though Gomez has yet to make an official statement, her message was clear: there’s no bad blood.
This isn’t the first time Selena has spoken fondly of Theresa. Back in 2019, she penned a touching tribute to her best friend, reflecting on how they met at work and developed a deep friendship. “She has taught me how to see life in a fun, carefree and uplifting way,” Selena wrote at the time. “She is beautiful, kind and smart… I love you and I am so proud of you.”
The rumors come at a sensitive time for Gomez, who recently opened up about her emotional struggles following her high-profile breakup with Justin Bieber. The two dated on and off for nearly a decade before finally splitting in 2018. Bieber went on to rekindle his romance with Hailey Baldwin and married her that same year, a move that left Selena feeling “very alone” in the aftermath.
On a recent episode of the Table Manners podcast, Gomez shared personal details about her relationship with Benny Blanco, including the “embarrassing” moment of their first kiss. Benny recalled how the pair had been playing a game that encouraged them to take a selfie together. “She got right on my chest and took a selfie,” he said. “And then right after, I just looked at her and said, I gotta kiss this girl.”
That kiss turned out to be unforgettable—and more than a little awkward. “Her heart started beating so quickly, and she started getting a rash on her face, and she was so nervous,” Blanco said, joking that Selena was “allergic” to him.
Selena added with a laugh, “I hadn’t liked anyone in a very long time… I was a little embarrassed.” She admitted she hadn’t felt such a connection in years and described her previous dating experiences as mostly disappointing.
Despite public interest in her personal life, Selena continues to handle controversy with subtle grace. Her decision to post the throwback with Theresa appears to be a gentle reminder that not everything deserves drama—and not every unfollow means a falling-out.
With rumors dispelled and her love life looking strong, Gomez seems more focused than ever on her real friendships, her relationship with Benny, and the peaceful life she’s built post-Bieber.
