Becky G and Sebastian Lletget had been dating since June, 2016. Becky G had announced their engagement in December, 2022. However, after getting to know about Lletget's cheating scandal, the singer called off the engagement.

Sebastian Lletget made headlines over cheating allegations in March 2023. Following the scandal, the singer, during the April 1 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, opened up about calling the engagement off and handling public scrutiny.

"If you know me, you know that I do not make decision passively. And it was so hard to shut out the noise. And the insiders say, 'She didn't even say anything. They just swept it under the rug and kept it moving.'"

The singer opened up about the betrayal and the moment she decided to call off the engagement,

Like, no. I called off my engagement. I took off my ring. The thing about betrayal is it doesn't just make you not trust the other person. You don't trust yourself anymore. This isn't even about them. This is about me. And there was something so empowering about that process to say, 'No, I come first.'
