Selena Gomez’s mother-in-law, Sandra Levine, was forced to hide from masked robbers who broke into her Los Angeles home on Monday night.
NBC4 reported that Levin, whose son is Benny Blanco, ran upstairs and locked himself in the bathroom after two robbers dressed in black entered the Studio City property through a back door around 9:30 p.m.
Los Angeles Police Department officials told the agency that the homeowner looked out the bathroom door after hearing the suspect go upstairs.
The robbers saw Levin and became alarmed that someone was in the house.
Page Six confirmed that the suspects activated the alarm but fled the scene before police arrived.
It is unclear whether the suspects were armed.
Video obtained by KTLA5 shows officers opening the shattered sliding door where the burglar entered, leaving glass debris on the ground.
Representatives for Gomez, 33, and Blanco, 37, could not be reached for comment.
Sandra was previously married to her father, Andrew Levine, a music producer. The ex-girlfriends are also parents to son Jeremy.
In an interview with InStyle in June, Blanco talked about how her mother gave her relationship advice when she was on a date.
“My mom always took the time to explain to me how a woman’s mind works because she went through a lot of dating trauma when I was a kid,” he explained.
The music producer also said that Sandra’s passion for art and music inspired his own creativity and happiness.
“Even though I’ve had some tough times, I’ve always seemed like a very happy person. I wake up every day feeling great,” Blanco said.
The businessman has previously hinted at a close relationship with Levin, telling People magazine in November 2024, “My mother is my best friend.”
“Every Sunday we go to the farmers market, I make her lunch, we swim and we gossip,” he said.
“She sends me stuff and she’s like, ‘Do you think that’s true?'” It’s like, “I don’t even know who these two people are talking about right now.” ”
Blanco also revealed how Levine “loves flowers” and would buy her a new orchid every Mother’s Day, explaining that the family matriarch cherished orchids and once had 25 orchids in her room because “they never died.”
