A screenshot that appeared to show Selena Gomez posting to Instagram Story that she was single set off breakup rumors with Benny Blanco on Wednesday, after the image spread widely across social media. The post, which showed a black background with white text, appeared to carry Gomez’s account name at the top.
The text in the image read, “Just clearing things up… I’m single. No drama, no hidden story, just focusing on myself and my peace for now,” and users quickly circulated it as if it were a fresh statement from the singer. But no verified source has confirmed that Gomez and Blanco broke up, and neither has made an official statement about a separation.
The timing made the rumor travel fast. Gomez and Blanco confirmed their engagement in December 2024, and they tied the knot in a close friends-only ceremony on September 27 last year. A post on X shared the screenshot on April 16, 2026, and that was enough for the image to ricochet across the platform and beyond.
That is also where the story starts to fall apart. The screenshot has no working link and no clear time stamp trail, and there is no confirmation from a reliable account that captured the story directly from Gomez’s profile. In other words, the image may have looked convincing, but nothing in the public record so far proves it came from her account.
Gomez has dealt with constant relationship rumors for years, so this latest swirl fits a pattern even if the claim itself does not hold up. For now, the only solid fact is that an unverified image triggered a breakup narrative online — and neither Gomez nor Blanco has backed it up.
