The pair went Instagram official later that month, with Gomez sharing pictures with Blanco on her feed, and the romance has since seemingly blossomed from there.

In an interview for Apple Music 1 in February earlier this year, Gomez told radio host Zane Lowe: "Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you.

"And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. I’d have to say overall, it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely. I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome."

Blanco also spoke publicly about the pair's relationship, saying on The Howard Stern Show how he looks at Gomez and doesn't 'know a world where it could be better than this'.

And Gomez has since announced the pair are engaged.

Gomez took to her Instagram page earlier today (December 12) to share the news.
