This sweet tribute from Gomez comes just two days after she referred to Blanco as her 'bes fwend' and shared Instagram photos showing the couple's playful and affectionate moments. One PDA-filled photo shows Blanco kissing Gomez's shoulder from behind, with his arm wrapped around her and a hand on her chest. Gomez is seen grinning and turning her head towards him, clearly enjoying the intimate gesture. Two other pictures in the slideshow capture the couple cuddling up in the kitchen.
It is worth mentioning that Gomez has a successful cooking show, 'Selena + Chef,' on Hulu, while Blanco is preparing to release his debut cookbook in April. The couple's shared interests in the culinary world add another layer of connection to their relationship.
Gomez and Blanco first started dating in the summer of last year, and Gomez publicly announced their relationship via a series of Instagram comments in December 2023. At that time, she referred to Blanco as the 'best thing that's ever happened' to her and emphasized how well he treats her.
Since then, Gomez has proudly showcased their love on social media, consistently sharing pictures of them together. Although they haven't made any red carpet appearances as a couple, Blanco joined Gomez at the 2023 Emmys, where he met her 'Only Murders in the Building' co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short. Additionally, they spent the night of the Golden Globes together in January, although they did not walk the red carpet.
According to a source close to the couple, Gomez feels safe and secure with Blanco. They describe Blanco as a great communicator who is honest, open, and attentive to Gomez. They emphasize his respectfulness, lack of interest in fame or attention, and Gomez's trust in him.
