Selena Gomez: Mother Disappointed by Wedding Choice

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco were married in a glamorous ceremony in Santa Barbara, California. However, Gomez's decision to be escorted by her grandfather, David Cornett, instead of her mother, Mandy Teefey, reportedly caused disappointment.

According to sources close to the couple, her mother and stepfather, Brian, felt shattered by the 33-year-old star's choice. Her grandfather and his wife, Debbie, reportedly burst into tears of joy upon receiving the proposal.

Despite the tension, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have acknowledged that Mandy Teefey played a significant role in their meeting and the development of their relationship. They met when Gomez was 16-17 years old, through a meeting arranged by her mother.

Their relationship started as friends and evolved after Selena Gomez's 31st birthday party in 2023. In December 2024, she announced their marriage via Instagram, showing off her engagement ring.
