Despite the many rumors about Gomez and Blanco’s breakup doing the rounds, the two have not indicated anything about a split. Notably, Hoops Crave, which shared the news of a possible divorce is a self-proclaimed parody site.
Further, Grok fact-checked the claims of the now-deleted Instagram story on the split. The AI chatbot wrote “No, this isn’t confirmed. No official statement from Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco, or any major outlet backs the “I’m single” Instagram story claim. They married in Sept 2025 and were posting as a couple into early April 2026 (including her calling herself “Mrs. Blanco”). This looks like another unverified rumor spreading with old photos and a screenshot.”
Gomez’s Instagram bears no hint of a possible split from Blanco. Rather her latest Instagram post is one where she has put up photos of herself and they’re captioned ‘Mrs Blanco’, a reference to her marriage with the music producer. The two had announced their relationship to the public in 2023 and then got married in September 2025, after about two years of dating.
While Gomez might not have made any post about breaking up with Blanco, she’s apparently made up with old friend Demi Lovato. Gomez and Lovato reunited when the former attended the latter’s It’s Not That Deep Tour in Orlando, Florida. It was reported that Gomez and Lovato began to refollow each other on Instagram after this meeting.
