According to a news report from last month, Selena Gomez's recent wedding to producer Benny Blanco was the subject of some controversy. Rumors suggested that Gomez's mother, Mandy Teefey, was upset that her daughter chose to have her grandfather, David Michael Cornett, walk her down the aisle instead of Teefey herself.
However, Teefey has now set the record straight, stating that she was in fact an "ardent supporter" of Gomez's decision. In an Instagram post shared just a few days ago, Teefey described the wedding ceremony as "a fairytale come true" and "beyond heartwarming" to watch her father give Gomez away.
Gomez and Blanco have been dating for two years, with the couple first collaborating on music back in 2015. Their intimate wedding ceremony was attended by some of their famous friends, including Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, who both gave speeches. Blanco himself expressed his joy, writing that he had "married a real life disney princess."
