In December of that year, Gomez confirmed she and Blanco had been dating, responding to a series of comments to fans on Instagram calling the producer her ‘absolute everything’ and admitting they’d actually been seeing each other for six months already.
The pair went Instagram official later that month, with Gomez sharing pictures with Blanco on her feed, and the romance has since seemingly blossomed from there.

The duo have also shared multiple insights into their relationship via social media posts, alongside speaking out about their romance.
In an interview for Apple Music 1 in February earlier this year, Gomez told radio host Zane Lowe: “Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you.
“And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. I’d have to say overall, it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely. I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome.”
Blanco also spoke publicly about the pair’s relationship, saying on The Howard Stern Show how he looks at Gomez and doesn’t ‘know a world where it could be better than this’.
And Gomez has since announced the pair are engaged.
