And as America’s dad, I want to know what your intentions are with America’s daughter, right over here." He added with a touch of humor, "You’re welcome."

How Their Relationship Began

Gomez and Blanco began dating in mid-2023 and went Instagram official in January 2024. An insider told PEOPLE that Gomez was "really happy and present" in their relationship.

It’s my favorite time to spend with Sel, because we both wake up really early. It’s like our moment before the rest of the world wakes up. I have a true best friend that I get to do everything in the world with, and every day is the best day of my life."
