Gomez revealed the news on December 11 when she posted a carousel of her engagement ring to Instagram with the remark, “forever begins now.”
In response, Blanco said in the comments, “Hey wait… that is my wife.”

For the award-winning record producer and the number-one singer and actress, the announcement represents a significant turning point. Although their professional relationship started years earlier, the two have been romantically involved since December 2023. Gomez and Blanco initially worked together with Tainy and J Balvin on the 2019 song “I Can not Get Enough.” Their musical collaboration turned into a close personal bond when they collaborated once more on Gomez’s 2023 song, “song Soon.”
Blanco talked about his friendship with the multi-talented singer during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show in May. “When I gaze upon her… He stated on the show, “I am constantly like, I do not know a world where it could be better than this.”
In a May interview with TIME, Gomez also discussed the relationship, stating: “I got pretty used to being alone for five years.” Many people fear solitude, and I think I mentally tortured myself for almost two years before I finally came to terms with it.
She went on to discuss her relationship with Blanco, saying, “Then I came up with my plan, which was I was going to adopt at 35 if I had not met someone.”It simply occurs when you least expect it to.
With 15 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 songs, Blanco is a prolific producer who has collaborated with a wide range of industry heavyweights, such as Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, and Rihanna. Among his many accomplishments include co-writing and producing some of the most enduring hits in pop music.
With three No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 (Rare, Revival, and Stars Dance) and an amazing run of chart-topping singles over the last ten years, Gomez, on the other hand, has established herself as a worldwide superstar.
In addition to being well-known for her number-one songs, Gomez has continued to broaden her creative horizons by acting in popular films like Only Murders in the Building and running her own business, Rare Beauty. Regarding Blanco, his standing as one of the most in-demand producers in the music business continues to increase.
