The couple, who have been linked romantically since July 2023, have a long history of collaboration in the music industry, having worked together on several tracks since 2015.
Their relationship blossomed into romance after years of friendship and musical partnership, culminating in this significant milestone.
The engagement has sparked joy among their fans and fellow celebrities, with many taking to social media to express their congratulations. Notable reactions included those from Taylor Swift, who playfully commented about being a flower girl, and other stars like Cardi B and Nina Dobrev who shared their excitement for the couple.
Gomez and Blanco first crossed paths in 2015 when they collaborated on her album “Revival,” which featured the hit songs “Same Old Love” and “Kill Em With Kindness.” Their professional relationship blossomed into a strong friendship, with both artists frequently supporting each other’s musical endeavours over the years.
The turning point in their relationship occurred in mid-2023. During a recording session, Blanco realized he had developed romantic feelings for Gomez, describing the moment as a classic romantic comedy scenario where he suddenly acknowledged his love for her.
By July 2023, they began dating, though they kept their relationship low-key initially. Gomez later expressed that she felt deeply cherished by Blanco, stating, “I’ve never been loved this way”.
