Gomez seemingly confirmed her romance with producer Blanco as she liked a series of posts about the couple dating in December 2023. Underneath a PopFaction post that read, “Selena Gomez seemingly confirms she’s in a relationship,” she simply commented, “Facts .”
“He is my absolutely everything in my heart,” the Just the murders in the building the actress wrote in another comment, before replying to the fan, “Then why he was the best thing that ever happened to me. The end.”
The couple showed they’re still going strong to start the new year by attending the 2024 Golden Globes together. In a photo shared by Gomez on her Instagram Story, she and Blanco shared a kiss while she held on to her boyfriend’s neck. “I won,” she wrote.
Despite only going public with their relationship in recent months, the two have known each other for several years and previously worked on Gomez’s 2019 English-Spanish hit with J Balvin, “I Can’t Get Enough.”
