Gomez, 32, posted several photos showing off her new ring with the caption, “Forever starts now.” Blanco commented on the post saying, “Hey wait…that’s my wife.”
Gomez and Blanco announced their relationship in December 2023. They have been spotted at red carpet events, courtside at NBA games and on each other’s social media accounts.
Celebrity friends like Grammy Award-winning artist Taylor Swift also left comments.
Blanco is a music producer who has worked on hits for artists such as Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, Britney Spears and SZA.
On Monday, the Texas native received two Golden Globe nominations for her roles in “Emilia Pérez” and “Only Murders in the Building.”
In a candid interview with Vanity Fair in September, Gomez shared for the first time that she won’t be able to carry her own children. She said this would put her and the baby’s life in danger due to medical issues.
In 2013, Gomez was diagnosed with lupus. She underwent chemotherapy to treat the chronic autoimmune disease. Lupus causes the body’s immune system to attack healthy tissue. In 2017, she needed a kidney transplant.
