No, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are not getting a divorce. The claim originated from an X post shared by a parody account.
The account’s bio clearly stated, “Craving Hoops Culture | parody account not affiliated with @PopCrave," indicating that the content was not genuine news. The post, which included a photo of the couple, falsely suggested that Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez were reportedly divorcing, despite being satirical in nature.
Selena Gomez has publicly expressed affection for Benny Blanco, reinforcing that their relationship remains strong amid the rumors. Recently, clips from her podcast 'Friends Keep Secrets,' featuring guests such as Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco, circulated on social media and drew additional attention to Blanco.
In one widely discussed moment, viewers reacted to humorous on-air behavior involving Blanco, which sparked online chatter but was unrelated to any relationship issues.
On February 25, Gomez also shared a video featuring Blanco, in which she openly expressed her love for him. She wrote in her post, “I fall in love more and more in love with you every day, my love," further dispelling speculation about any breakup or divorce.
