Not everyone appreciates unexpected visitors, especially when the trespasser claims to be your wife. That’s the bizarre situation that Chainsmokers’ DJ and vocalist Drew Taggart found himself in on Saturday morning, according to TMZ reports. The Selena Gomez ex was reportedly upstairs in his LA home with fiancée Mari Fonseca when they spotted a woman hopping their gate and attempting to gain access to their house. Taggart called the police, who arrived on the scene and arrested the woman, bringing the frightening incident to a jarring end. Here’s what we know.
The Chainsmokers’ Trespassing ‘Wife’
When the police removed her, the alleged trespasser reportedly claimed to not only live at Taggart’s house but also be the Chainsmoker’s wife. It’s a claim that blindsided Drew and Mari who got engaged just last month. It’s also a claim that reportedly led the police to place the woman on a psychiatric hold. It seems that neither the Chainsmokers’ vocalist nor his fiancee knew the 40-year-old woman. Fan obsession and parasocial relationships are unfortunately nothing new for celebrities. With tracks like “Closer” getting billions of plays on Spotify, The Chainsmokers sure have no shortage of fans.
Taggart’s ex, Selena Gomez, has faced hardships of her own, but a Strangers-style home invasion attempt is something else. The police haven’t released much information relating to the alleged trespassing incident, but most fans are likely just relieved that the performer and his fiancée are okay. If Taggart’s Insta is anything to judge by, things with Fonseca are still going great. One of the DJ’s more recent posts features pics of the happy couple enjoying the beach, posing with family in front of a Christmas tree, and cruising around.
Threats to one’s family are always scary. Whether or not the incident results in formal charges, it wouldn’t be shocking if the Chainsmokers star refrained from saying much about the trespasser incident. Let’s hope the “Something Just Like This” performer can avoid something just like this in the future.
