Rumors have been swirling online that music producer Benny Blanco might be cheating on pop star Selena Gomez—but fans hoping for drama may need to pump the brakes. Despite waves of speculation pointing to his longtime friend and former assistant Theresa Marie Mingus, Gomez appears to be shutting down the gossip with a heartfelt post.
The Rumors That Sparked the Drama
The cheating allegations first gained traction on TikTok, where fans began dissecting Benny Blanco’s recent whereabouts and online activity. Some users claimed he was seen dining at a Los Angeles restaurant with Theresa Mingus while Gomez was reportedly out of town. Adding fuel to the fire, Mingus was allegedly spotted at Blanco’s home during Selena’s absence.
One of the more eyebrow-raising claims? That Blanco subscribed to Mingus’ OnlyFans account—a detail cited in a now-viral TikTok video, though this particular claim remains completely unverified. Fans also noted that Mingus publicly praised Blanco when he was featured as People magazine’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive,’ which some interpreted as overly affectionate amid the brewing gossip.
Selena Gomez Responds Subtly But Powerfully
Rather than directly addressing the rumors, Selena Gomez took a softer—and arguably more effective—approach. On May 5, she posted a sweet photo to her Instagram Stories showing Blanco playing with his nephew and their dog. The post was caption-free but seemed to send a clear message: she’s still very much in love, and the rumors aren’t shaking her trust.
Notably, this came just days after Gomez unfollowed Theresa Mingus on social media, a move fans were quick to connect to the cheating speculation. The two women were last publicly seen together during a birthday celebration on March 10, but things appear to have cooled off since then.
A Look Back at Selena and Benny’s Relationship
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco went public with their relationship in December 2023, though Gomez later revealed they’d actually been dating for six months before that. She made their romance Instagram-official by commenting “He’s my absolute everything in my heart” under a fan account’s post and sharing photos that hinted at their close bond.
Blanco, a well-known producer, has longstanding ties to Gomez’s social circle—he was friends with her ex, Justin Bieber, back in 2009, and he’s collaborated with many of her fellow artists like The Weeknd and Camila Cabello. He and Gomez even released a song together, “I Can’t Get Enough,” with Tainy and J Balvin, and he was by her side for her 31st birthday celebration.
Is There Any Truth to the Cheating Talk?
At this point, there’s no concrete evidence that Blanco has been unfaithful. Most of the accusations come from social media sleuths and speculative videos that haven’t been confirmed by any reliable sources. Selena’s own actions—namely, choosing to post a tender image of Benny rather than making a dramatic statement—suggest she’s not buying into the online frenzy.
That said, fans have noticed the change in her relationship with Mingus, a former assistant and longtime confidante. While unfollowing someone isn’t exactly a smoking gun, it did contribute to the theory that something behind the scenes may have prompted a rift—not necessarily with Blanco, but perhaps with her former friend.
The Bottom Line
For now, Selena Gomez seems unbothered by the gossip and committed to her relationship. Her decision to publicly support Benny Blanco with a loving post seems aimed at shutting down the cheating rumors without feeding the drama. And unless something more concrete surfaces, it looks like the couple is moving forward—together.
As always, fans will keep watching closely. But for now, it appears the rumors are just that: rumors.
