Mandy Teefey Denies Being ‘Shattered’ by Ceremony Decisions, Celebrates Daughter’s Perfect Day with Benny Blanco
Selena Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, has spoken out to set the record straight amid recent rumors surrounding her daughter’s wedding to producer Benny Blanco. The couple tied the knot on September 27, 2025, in a private ceremony attended by friends and fellow celebrities, including Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran.
Reports suggested that Teefey, 49, was “shattered” by the choice to have Selena’s grandfather, David Michael Cornett, walk her down the aisle instead of her. However, Teefey quickly dismissed the claims, calling them “ludacris” and affirming her wholehearted support for the grandfatherly tribute. “It was heartwarming [to see] him walk her down the aisle!” she commented on Instagram, responding to a Page Six post referencing the story.
The following day, Teefey doubled down on her endorsement of the event, sharing her excitement and love for the newlyweds. “What a perfect celebration for the most kick ass couple I know! The evening couldn’t have been more beautiful and perfect! Absolutely flawless! All my love to my beautiful daughter [Selena Gomez] and to the greatest son-in-law [Benny Blanco]!!!” she wrote, praising the intimate and heartfelt ceremony in Santa Barbara.
Gomez and Blanco, who began dating in 2023, have a professional history dating back to 2015 when Blanco co-produced Gomez’s hit singles “Same Old Love” and “Kill Em With Kindness.” Earlier this year, the couple collaborated on their first joint album, I Said I Love You First, further solidifying their creative and personal bond.
Blanco shared a heartfelt caption on social media following the wedding, writing, “I married a real-life Disney princess,” alongside photos from the intimate celebration. In one image, the couple showcases their wedding bands while holding hands, and in another, they relax together in full wedding attire.
The ceremony featured speeches from close friends and notable stars, including Swift and Ed Sheeran, making it a truly star-studded and memorable occasion. Despite prior media speculation, the wedding was a celebration of love, family, and lasting friendships, with Teefey playing an enthusiastic and supportive role in the day’s heartfelt moments.
