Becky G, the popular Mexican-American singer, has recently taken to the airwaves to share her experiences of heartbreak and public scrutiny following her engagement to footballer Sebastian Lletget. In March 2023, the couple’s future together was thrust into the spotlight when allegations of infidelity against Lletget surfaced. A woman claimed to have evidence of his unfaithfulness, prompting a wave of media coverage and speculation regarding the state of their relationship.

The singer, whose full name is Rebbeca Marie Gomez, opened up about her evolving mindset in the wake of the cheating scandal during an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. Speaking candidly about her emotional journey, she reflected on her initial response to feelings of betrayal and the importance of prioritising herself amid the turmoil.
“My ground zero was people-pleasing, self-sacrificing, doing what other people wanted me to do while forgetting that I mattered in that equation,” Becky explained. “This was an opportunity for me to go inward and make this about myself, which was incredibly uncomfortable.” At 29 years old, Becky highlighted the challenge of navigating public opinion while dealing with her personal struggles.
She elaborated on the pressure of external voices, noting that overcoming the sentiment that she hadn’t addressed the situation was difficult. “And the insiders say, ‘She didn’t even say anything. They just swept it under the rug and kept it moving,'” she said. However, Becky made it clear that much was happening behind the scenes; her feelings of betrayal stemmed from someone she deeply cared for.
In a revealing moment, she disclosed that she had indeed called off her engagement, stating plainly, “I took off my ring.” This admission signalled a significant shift in her perspective. She noted how betrayal can foster deeper feelings of mistrust, not only towards the other person but also towards oneself. “The thing about betrayal is it doesn’t just make you not trust the other person. You don’t trust yourself anymore,” she expressed.
Becky also confirmed that she and Lletget are working through their challenges and are still together. Forgiveness and healing have been at the forefront of her journey, with Becky remarking on the internal work needed to move forward. “I would love to [get married]. Like, re-propose to me,” she said, affirming her openness to the idea of marriage in the future.
Her outlook on the situation has evolved significantly, as she emphasised the potential for what she calls “post-traumatic growth.” “I do think there is a shift in mentality that happened for me where I don’t want to be a victim of anything,” she stated, indicating a positive transformation despite the circumstances.
Becky G and Sebastian Lletget became engaged in December 2022 after a six-year relationship. However, the following March, infidelity allegations surfaced, stemming from a woman’s claims on social media. Shortly thereafter, Lletget issued a public apology to Becky, expressing his commitment to earning back her trust.
In November 2023, the couple was spotted together shopping in Porter Ranch, California, suggesting that they are gradually rebuilding their relationship. Becky’s experience has resonated beyond her personal life, prompting discussions around self-worth and resilience in the face of betrayal.
In her upcoming documentary titled “Rebbeca,” set to premiere in December 2025, Becky plans to further explore her journey, emphasising how silence can often be misinterpreted for vulnerability. Her candid discussions and reflections serve as a reminder of the complexities of relationships, public perception, and personal healing.
