If you’ve followed Selena Gomez over the years, you’ve probably heard the name Theresa Marie Mingus more than once. For a long time, she played more than one role in Selena’s life. Assistant, best friend, business partner… whatever label you want to give it, Theresa was always around, always supportive, and always seen as someone Selena could count on.

But lately, things have gotten complicated. Fans noticed Selena quietly unfollowed Theresa on Instagram in April 2025, and just like that, years of friendship became tabloid gossip. Add in a wild rumour about Selena’s fiancé, Benny Blanco, allegedly subscribing to Theresa’s OnlyFans, and now the internet’s trying to piece everything together.

So, who is Theresa Marie Mingus, and why is everyone suddenly so invested in her?

Theresa Marie started out as Selena Gomez’s assistant

Selena and Theresa first met in 2014. She came into the picture as Selena’s assistant. But it wasn’t just a job for her. The two were close, and their relationship transcended managing her professional life. She wasn’t just handling bookings or emails; she was there for birthdays, beach trips, and even hospital visits.

In a 2019 post dedicated to Theresa, Selena described her as her ‘best friend’. She wrote, “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.”

From friendship to business partners

In 2019, the two took their bond to the next level after Selena collaborated with Mingus for a special edition capsule of her brand Krahs Swim, a swimwear line all about self-love and body confidence. For Selena, who had just gone through a kidney transplant, it was a big deal. Theresa played a major role in helping her feel good in her body again, and that showed in the brand’s messaging.

The collection features a one-piece, a deep-cut bikini top, and a high-waisted bottom with a belt, a style Selena prefers post-surgery. “I really enjoyed the design process,” Gomez shared. “It was a lot of fun. One of my favorites is the high-waisted style with the belt. After my kidney transplant, I look for swimsuits that offer coverage in that area, making me feel comfortable.”

In the following years, the duo were seen together on numerous occasions, often sharing special moments that highlighted their close bond. When Selena announced her engagement to Benny in December of last year, Theresa left a playful comment saying, “Taco Bell Baby,” referencing Benny’s Taco Bell-themed proposal.

Selena Gomez unfollows Theresa Marie on Instagram

Fast forward to April 2025, and something felt off. Selena unfollowed Theresa on Instagram without a word. For anyone else, maybe that wouldn’t mean much, but when someone’s been in your life for years and suddenly disappears from your feed, people notice. And didn’t take long before fans started speculating.

And then… the OnlyFans rumours

Things got messier when a Selena Gomez fan account dropped a bombshell: according to The Tab, Benny Blanco was allegedly subscribed to Theresa’s OnlyFans. At first, it sounded too wild to believe. But the timing didn’t go unnoticed, especially with the unfollow happening right around the same time.

There was also a video that surfaced showing Theresa and Benny dining together—without Selena. The clip sparked even more rumors, especially when alleged hotel staff claimed the two checked in under the name “Benny T” and seemed a little too comfortable with each other. According to those same rumors, Theresa didn’t leave until 4:52 a.m., which only added fuel to the speculation.

Meanwhile, Theresa had already started growing her own presence. She’s not only an OnlyFans creator but also an Instagram influencer with over 158K followers; now, her growing fanbase is curious about her side of the story and her content.

While Selena may have quietly distanced herself in real life, she’s still following Theresa online—and so is Benny.
