At the end of September, American actress Selena Gomez held a private wedding with the participation of relatives and friends. However, immediately after the wedding, a series of controversial information about the actress appeared.

Last weekend, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco officially became husband and wife in a lavish and heavily guarded wedding.

The couple’s wedding had 170 guests, including many A-list stars such as: Taylor Swift, Paris Hilton, Paul Rudd, Ed Sheeran, SZA, Camila Cabello, Zoe Saldana, Cara Delevingne…

According to Page Six, security forces were mobilized absolutely and guests were asked not to leak photos. It is known that Selena and her husband spent up to 300,000 USD (7.9 billion VND) to ensure the safety and privacy of guests.

Guests were accommodated at the El Encanto Hotel for the duration of the wedding. Room rates were up to $3,500 per night.

After the wedding, on her personal page with 417 million followers, the wedding photos were actively shared by the new bride Selena Gomez herself. The posts all received tens of millions of “likes” from fans. Besides the blessings, fans were also curious about the absence of some characters. 

Best friend who donated kidney was not invited to the wedding?

Fans noticed the absence of Francia Raisa – the friend who donated a kidney to Selena Gomez. At the time of the wedding, Francia Raisa posted a clip of herself dancing with choreographer Sasha Farber on the streets of Los Angeles (USA).

Francia Raisa’s absence from Selena’s wedding caused the 1992-born singer to receive criticism from a segment of the audience. 

Some viewers commented: “So she didn’t invite her best friend?”, “This is the person who saved her best friend’s life, but she wasn’t invited to the wedding”, “Everyone was there except the person who donated a kidney to her”…

Some viewers defended Selena Gomez, saying that the singer may have invited her but Francia Raisa was absent. 

Selena Gomez and Francia Raisa have had a long and tumultuous friendship. They met at a charity event in 2007 and quickly became close friends, accompanying each other on many events.

Notably, when Selena Gomez fell seriously ill in 2017, Francia Raisa did not hesitate to donate a kidney to her best friend. 

Francia Raisa revealed that she struggled with her physical and mental health after the surgery. However, Selena Gomez was spotted partying and drinking just one year after the transplant. This caused a rift in the relationship between the two girls. 

When Selena Gomez entered rehab in October 2018, their relationship was mended.

In November 2022, Selena Gomez was criticized for not mentioning Francia Raisa when asked about her close friend in the entertainment industry. Selena Gomez later spoke up: “I’m sorry I didn’t mention everyone I know.”

In February 2023, Selena Gomez sent Francia Raisa birthday wishes and in October of that year, Francia Raisa appeared at Selena Gomez’s Rare Impact charity event. 

At that time, Francia Raisa shared: “Even though our lives have been turbulent, we can still come together, be friends and reminisce about old memories. I’m so happy that we’re back together.” 

Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham did not attend the wedding

International media also noticed the absence of Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham at Selena Gomez’s wedding. Selena Gomez – Nicola Peltz – Brooklyn Beckham used to be a close trio, appearing together at many events in Hollywood. 

Therefore, the absence of Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham at the singer’s wedding fueled speculations of a rift between her and her friends. In response to this rumor, a source close to Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham denied it.

Sharing with Daily Mail, the source said that Nicola and Brooklyn did not attend the wedding because of personal schedules. Nicola Peltz is actively preparing for a new role so she could not attend the wedding. Nicola and Brooklyn sent their blessings to Selena and Benny.

Despite Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham’s explanations, netizens still keep talking.

Before Selena’s wedding, the trio had shown signs of a rift in their friendship. Selena Gomez and Nicola Peltz’s last joint social media post was from December 2023.

Last August, when Brooklyn and Nicola re-wed, the couple did not invite Selena. On important occasions, they also did not leave any congratulatory messages on their personal pages like before.

Selena Gomez suspected of rift with biological mother 

Media reports said Selena Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, was hurt when her daughter did not choose her to be the one to walk her down the aisle. Instead , Selena Gomez invited her grandfather. This information sparked controversy on social media. 

However, Mrs. Mandy Teefey took the initiative to defend her daughter. She shared Selena’s wedding photo and said: “What a perfect wedding for the most wonderful couple I know. Sending all my love to my beautiful daughter Selena and her wonderful son Benny. It was a fairy tale come true and it was heartwarming to see my father walk her down the aisle.”

Mandy Teefey was a single mother who raised and supported her daughter a lot in her career. The famous singer and actress once expressed her pride and gratitude towards her mother. She also mentioned her grandfather in many interviews. 

In 2023, the singer revealed that she lives with her grandparents in her Encino mansion. Selena Gomez decided to choose her grandfather as the one to walk her down the aisle when she received the proposal. The artist’s grandparents were so happy that they cried when they heard her proposal.
