Relationship first
It was the first time the couple celebrated Blanco's birthday since they started dating. Gomez went public with their relationship on social media in December, revealing they had been together for six months. Their relationship began around June 2023. When she confirmed the dating rumors, Gomez called Blanco "the best thing that ever happened" to her and "better than anyone she's ever dated."

“Without going into too many details, I think it’s important to meet someone who respects you,” Gomez said. "I think it's really nice to lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. I have to say, overall, it's the safest I feel and it's really lovely and I just grew up in it so it marvelous".
From collaborator to lover
Gomez and Blanco met before they started dating. In fact, they collaborated on the song "I Can't Get Enough" in 2019. Now that they're no longer just colleagues, they're not shy about showing it. "My goodbye," Gomez wrote on one of their photos on February 12. He agreed in the comments, writing, "This is my goodbye."
