Lowe told Gomez that life just keeps getting better after you find your person.“I definitely can agree to that,” she said. She shared that being married to Blanco “has been such a dream so far, and I know it will come with ebbs and flows, but it’s the most beautiful person I could do that with.”Ahead of her wedding in August, Gomez told Jake Shane on Therapuss that she felt confident she had found her right match in Blanco. “I just have really never felt so sure about something, and I also don’t want to jinx it by saying that,” she admitted.She discussed how she and the music producer went from work acquaintances to friends and ultimately a couple.She had been working on her song “Single Soon” in 2023. “It wasn’t our favorite,” she told Shane. “I can say this because I’m marrying him. It just really wasn’t what I thought I wanted. So he just came in and I was like, ‘Oh, hi, Benny,’ and we spoke for two hours. I asked him to hook me up with anybody that he knew who was cute, and he was like, ‘Oh, we do these things, these dinner nights. You should come,’ and next thing you know, we’re dating.”She added that Blanco had initial reservations. “He was terrified in the beginning because it was work and it’s combining, and people are going to get mad. And I’m like, ‘I don’t give a shit. Kiss me.’”
