Gomez’s Instagram post quickly drew love and congratulations from fellow celebrities. Cardi B, Lil Nas X, and Julia Michaels were among the first to share their excitement in the comments section, reflecting the admiration the couple has garnered in the industry.
A Love Story Years in the Making
While Gomez and Blanco began dating in December 2023, their professional collaboration dates back to 2019. The duo first worked together on the hit track “I Can’t Get Enough” with Tainy and J Balvin. They reunited creatively for Gomez’s 2023 single, “Single Soon,” a collaboration that hinted at their deepening bond.
Blanco shared his feelings about their relationship during a May appearance on The Howard Stern Show:
“When I look at her … I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.”
Gomez, who previously spoke about her journey to love in a May TIME interview, described her mindset before meeting Blanco:
“I was alone for five years and got really used to it. Then I came up with my plan, which was I was going to adopt at 35 if I had not met anyone. It just happens when you least expect it.”
