Bella Thorne accuses ex‑boyfriend Benjamin Mascolo of four‑year cheating spree

Actress Bella Thorne disclosed on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she was cheated on for four years by Italian singer Benjamin Mascolo, formerly of the duo Benji & Fede. Thorne said she discovered the infidelity after gaining access to Mascolo’s Instagram password and finding messages and voice memos written in Italian. Unable to understand them, she asked an Italian restaurant waiter to translate the recordings, which revealed Mascolo’s repeated affairs. Mascolo, now married to Greta Cuoghi and father of a daughter named Athena, had previously described the relationship as “open” and involved a third person, but Thorne says the arrangement concealed systematic cheating. The revelations add a new chapter to the public breakup that began in 2021 and were previously framed by both parties as a “toxic” dynamic.
