The internet is doing what it does best, Pop Tellers: it’s spiraling and leeching onto the latest celebrity breakup rumors. And this time, the spotlight is back on Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship. Or, alleged split, according to fans.
That’s right, streets are saying Sel and Benny have called it quits… Call the pop police FR, because if so, this is major. Selena and Benny have been together for two years, and only recently got engaged, a moment which basically broke the internet. So, what went wrong?
Why Fans Think Selena and Benny Broke Up
Let’s me be clear before I dive in: nothing has been confirmed. But that hasn’t stopped the fandom from putting the pieces together and drawing their own (very dramatic) conclusions. Here’s everything fans are noticing, speculating, and side-eyeing right now:
1. Selena unfollows her bestie Theresa Marie, after Benny allegedly subscribes to her OnlyFans
Here’s the deal: Selena and this so-called Theresa Marie have been best friends for years. But eagle-eyed Selenators have now noticed that Sel no longer follows Theresa on Instagram. If we read between the Insta lines, that’s quite a big deal considering how much the Talk singer gushed about her bestie on IG a few years ago:
Twitter (or X) immediately connected the dots and noticed that Selena’s unfollowing suspiciously aligned with some Benny drama: Someone claimed Benny subscribed to Theresa Marie’s OnlyFans page, which led to Selena’s fury.
Update: An X user claims the page that reported Benny’s OnlyFan activity is a “sarcastic pop page,” meaning all stories they report are lies. Believe what you will…
2. Fans investigate Benny and Theresa’s relationship
Fans clocked more tea when they noticed Theresa was seen having dinner alone with Benny just a few days before Gomez’s unfollow. Rumor has it Theresa’s also been at Benny’s house alone, with no Selena in sight. Like???
One X user wrote, “imagine choosing the ugliest creature in the world to date and still being cheated on.” While another said, “Unfollowing a best friend over a rumored OnlyFans subscription is one thing but the fact that Benny is still following Theresa while hanging out with her solo raises so many red flags. Selena deserves better than this mess.”
3. The internet thinks Selena removed her engagement ring
Another (now-deleted) viral tweet showed a recent Selena sighting with the caption, “STREETS SAYING SHE’S NOT WEARINF THE RING WHAT.”
I mean, we couldn’t even see Sel’s hand in these photos, so call it a reach if you will. This could mean nothing… or everything. Depends how deep down the rabbit hole you wanna go.
4. But wait… Theresa liked Selena’s recent post?
Now this is where things get weird. After all the unfollowing drama, fans were shocked to see Theresa liking Selena’s latest promo post for her new Talk video. Is she trying to show support? Is it damage control? Is it shade disguised as kindness? Or is this all a publicity stunt to promote Talk?
Nobody knows, but us girlies are confused.
5. Benny hangs out with Scooter Braun, further fueling split rumors
If you thought things couldn’t get more chaotic… get this: Benny was seen hanging out with Scooter Braun. You know, Taylor Swift’s literal nemesis. Given how close Selena and Taylor are, fans are taking this as a red flag.
Regardless if Selena and Benny have broken up, this is giving ultimate betrayal energy. Benny, my guy, please remember how much we all hate Scooter. Surely, Sel would be mad about this.
So far, there’s zero confirmation from Selena, Benny, or their teams. But that’s never stopped the internet from piecing together their own narrative. Between the “ringless” sightings, the shady follows/unfollows, and Benny being seen with the one man Taylor Swift has blocked in every realm, fans are fully convinced something’s up.
Whether this is all just overblown stan speculation or a real soft-launch breakup, only time will tell. But in the meantime, best believe I have my popcorn ready.
