Selena Gomez shuts down Benny Blanco cheating rumors as she poses with OnlyFans star

Daily Mail​08-05-2025

Selena Gomez seemingly shut down cheating rumors involving her fiancé Benny Blanco and OnlyFans creator Theresa Marie.
On Wednesday evening, the pop star, 32, made it clear she is still on good terms with her longtime friend, despite mysteriously unfollowing her.
While some of her fans feared the pair's friendship was strained, the Rare Beauty founder shared a throwback photo with Theresa to Instagram.
The post appeared to be a way to end unsubstantiated speculation that Gomez and Theresa, had a falling-out.
'Lil blast from the past because basically I'm lying horizontal rn and reminiscing bout some memories,' Gomez captioned her latest post, a slideshow featuring pictures with various pals over the years, including a framed photo with Taylor Swift.
Theresa last appeared on Gomez's social media on March 10 as the pair beamed in snaps together while at a birthday party alongside their other pal Anna Collins.
MailOnline have contacted Selena's representatives for comment.
Back in 2019 Selena took to Instagram to dedicate a post to Theresa as she revealed the pair met while working together and went on to become best friends.
Posting a sweet black and white snap of the pair she penned: 'I met Theresa 5 years ago. We worked together and became best friends.
'She has taught me how to see life in a fun, carefree and uplifting way. She has shown me how to be a strong and fearless woman.
'She is beautiful, kind and smart. I saw how capable she was of achieving her dreams. I wanted nothing more than to see her pursue them and soar.
'And here you are making it happen T. I love you and I am so proud of you.'
It comes after Selena admitted she felt 'alone' and 'didn't like anyone' for five years after her relationship with ex Justin Bieber ended.
The singer and Justin, 31, dated on/off for nearly a decade before officially splitting in 2018.
Two months after the former couple split, Justin and wife Hailey, who'd had a previous fling in 2016, rekindled their flame in mid-2018 and married later that year. Both Justin and Hailey have denied any overlap in their relationships.
While Justin moved on months later, Selena said she felt very 'alone' in the aftermath of their breakup before finally meeting her fiancé Benny.
Selena made the rare admission as she discussed her and Benny's 'embarrassing' first kiss on the latest episode on Jessie and Lennie Ware's Table Manners podcast.
Benny said: 'Towards the end of the date, we were just sitting in the living room on the couch, and we were playing, 'We're not really Strangers'.
'And there was a thing where it said, take a selfie with the person next to you, and she got right on my chest and took a selfie.
'And then right after, I just looked at her, and I said, I gotta kiss this girl. And I kissed her right away.

'And her heart started beating so quickly, and she started getting a rash on her face, and she was so nervous.'
Lennie: 'She wasn't allergic to you?', Benny added: 'She was, yeah. I was so disgusting and repulsive.'
Selena added: 'I hadn't liked anyone in a very long time. So some kisses are for fun, and then when you feel something behind a kiss, it's completely different.
'And I'd been alone for about five years, with the exception of a few shitty dates here and there, but never felt that way. And I was a little embarrassed.'

YouTuber Finny Da Legend named as Las Vegas shooting victim killed on livestream after 2 shot dead near Bellagio casino

A YOUTUBER has been named as a victim in a Las Vegas shooting that saw two people killed. Finny Da Legend was shot dead near the famous Bellagio hotel and casino on the Las Vegas strip on Sunday night. 2 2 Another victim, believed to be Finny's partner, was also killed in the shooting, as reported by the Fox affiliate KVVU-TV. Finny, who had more than 3,000 subscribers on YouTube, was live streaming when a man, another content creator, came up to him. At least seven shots were fired in footage shared online. Finny's partner could be heard screaming after the shots, yelling, "Are you f**king kidding me?" before the camera was thrown to the ground. Tributes have been paid to the content creator. Devastated pal Derek Ware described Finny as a "good father" and a "friendly guy." "If something was wrong, he would just always check up on me," he told KVVU-TV. "He's donated to people that needed help online." Ware revealed Finny's partner was known as Bubbly and paid tribute to her "infectious" personality. "She would have fun everywhere she went," he said. Cops revealed that the shooter and one of the victims had an argument on social media before the horror unfolded. Manuel Ruiz, 41, turned himself into police hours after shots were fired on the Las Vegas Strip. "At this point, we believe we have the suspect identified and that this is an isolated incident, knowing that the suspect and the victim had previously engaged in some type of conflict using a variety of social media platforms," cops said at the time. The Bellagio is a luxury five-star resort on the Strip and is known for the famous Fountains of Bellagio attraction. The shooting comes almost eight years after 60 people were killed when Stephen Paddock opened fire at a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip. He fired more than 1,000 rounds from his room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. More than 800 people were injured.

From festivals to weddings: Why drone shows are booming

The wedding ceremony was almost over when newlywed Bobby Underwood stepped on a napkin-covered glass to break it, as is Jewish tradition, and everyone shouted "Mazel Tov!". But as he and his new wife Siobhan turned to walk back down the aisle, their wedding officiants said, "Wait." There was a surprise. "All of these drones started rising up," recalls Mrs Underwood. "It was honestly remarkable, very overwhelming – and incredibly emotional for us." She estimates that between 100 and 150 drones appeared in the night sky, displaying lights of various colours, and forming images chosen to represent the bride and groom. These included a baseball player hitting a ball – as Mr Underwood is a big baseball fan – and a diamond ring being placed on a finger. The couple were married on New Year's Eve 2024, in New York State. Mrs Underwood's mother had arranged the surprise drone show with help from the couple's wedding planner – who had suggested it as a "wow factor" component of the day. It seemed to have the desired effect. "It was kind of just shock – 'Is this really happening right now?'," says Mrs Underwood. "I can't believe my mom did this for us." Chris J Evans Drone shows are becoming ever more popular. Once rarities, they are now appearing at occasions ranging from birthday parties and weddings, to major sporting events. Some theme parks even have resident drone shows that take place multiple nights in a row. Glastonbury music festival had its first drone show in 2024. And record-breaking displays are pushing the technology to its limits – the biggest drone show in history took place in China last October. It featured a total of 10,200 drones and broke a record set only the previous month. So, does all this spell the end for fireworks? "They are really beautiful – they are art," says Sally French, a US-based drone industry commentator known as The Drone Girl. She says that drone shows have appeared at baseball games, corporate conferences, and even at ports, to celebrate the launch of cruises. Drone displays are becoming highly sophisticated, she explains, with some drone shows featuring thousands of flying devices, allowing them to animate figures or patterns in incredible detail. "I saw a Star Wars-themed drone show where there was a full-on lightsabre battle," adds Ms French. One barrier might be the price tag, however, with the cost per drone at around $300 (£220) in the UK, says Ms French, citing industry data from market research firm SPH Engineering: "A 500 drone show would be over $150,000." Mrs Underwood does not have an exact figure, but estimates that her wedding drone show cost tens of thousands of dollars. The sky's the limit, actually. Skymagic, one of the world's largest drone show companies, has put on major displays that cost north of $1m says Patrick O'Mahony, co-founder and creative director. Skymagic's shows have taken place in various countries – including the 2023 Coachella music festival in California. The company has also performed drone shows in the UK, including as part of the King's Coronation concert, which was broadcast by the BBC. Mr O'Mahony has experience in designing fireworks displays and other, similar events. But drones have revolutionised outdoor public displays, he says. His company has a fleet of 6,000 custom-designed drones. Each one can reach speeds of up to 10 meters per second. The drones sport LED lights and have batteries that allow for 25 minutes of flight time. To make them easier to transport, the drones are stored in flight cases and unpacked at venues in a giant marquee before they are laid out in the take-off area, half a metre apart, in a grid pattern. "Once the drones have received their 'go' command [they] fly the entire show," adds Mr O'Mahony, explaining that a single human pilot on the ground controls thousands of the devices at once. The drones are geo-fenced, based on Global Positioning System (GPS) data, which prevents them from straying beyond the allotted flight area. In windy conditions, though, they can get blown off course. In such cases, they automatically return to a landing spot on the ground, says Mr O'Mahony. Fireworks have a "boom" factor that drones generally don't, notes Ms French. However, Bill Ray, an analyst at market research firm Gartner, says that some drones can now launch pyrotechnics, for a firework-like effect. For instance, a stream of sparks raining down from the lower portion of an image created by a group of drones. Plus, Mr Ray says it is much easier to accurately synchronise drone movements with music during a show, which could be another reason behind their appeal. But the cost of shows remains prohibitive to some, and in part comes down to the fact that laying out the devices and gathering them all up again after the performance is still a relatively slow, manual process, adds Mr Ray. Pedro Rosário is chief executive of Drone Show Animations, a company that designs drone show performances for other companies that supply the drones themselves. Mr Rosário says that one challenging aspect of his work is in coming up with displays that adhere to various regulations applying to drone flights, since these rules differ from country to country. England has stricter regulations than countries in the Middle East, for example, he says. Mr Rosário adds that drone shows, which might be paired with pyrotechnics, traditional fireworks or even lasers, allow for a huge degree of creative freedom: "You can really build something that has emotional value, it can tell a story." In Mrs Underwood's case, that seems to have worked. Her guests enjoyed the spectacle too, she adds: "We've heard compliments about our wedding in general – but, consistently, the drone show is something people bring up as something they never expected to see."
