Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco were hit by a fresh wave of breakup rumourson Friday after a supposed'I'm single'Instagram Story from the singer spread rapidly online. But the post, and the claims built around it, were fake, according to the report that examined and debunked the speculation.
Fans woke up to social media feeds filled with claims that Gomez had split from music producer Benny Blanco just seven months after their September 2025 wedding. The frenzy was driven by a widely shared screenshot that appeared to show a Story from Gomez's account reading: 'Just clearing things up... I'm single. No drama, no hidden story. Just focusing on myself and my peace for now.'
Alongside it, a separate post claimed the couple were dealing with'marital issues'after Gomez allegedly discovered Blanco texting another celebrity, and that she had moved out of their Beverly Hills home. None of those claims has been verified.
For many fans, the supposed Instagram Story looked convincing enough to serve as proof that Gomez and Blanco had quietly separated. The wording had the kind of calm, weary tone often seen in celebrity attempts to shut down gossip, which likely helped it travel so fast.
But the image was fabricated, according toThe Tab, which was among the first outlets to trace and debunk the rumour's spread. There is no sign Gomez ever posted or deleted the Story, and the wording appears only in screenshots circulated online rather than on her verified account.
There is no clear record of the post being captured by any established news outlet, and Gomez has made no public statement about any split. That leaves the entire breakup narrative resting on an image that cannot be independently traced.
The tweet that piled on further drama went even further, dressing up anonymous speculation as sourced reporting. 'Allegedly actress Selena Gomez and her husband Benny Blanco are currently going through a marital issue,' it read, before alleging that she had discovered cheating 'through texts' with another celebrity. It then claimed 'sources close to the two' said Gomez had left their Los Angeles home for 'her own apartment in California.'

Those supposed sources were never identified. There are also no court filings, no property records, no public statements and no corroborating reports to support the idea that Gomez has moved out or begun any form of separation.
If anything, Gomez's recent public posts point in the opposite direction. The same piece that debunked the rumours noted that the couple appeared to be very much together, citing Gomez's own recent social media activity.
