Overview

  • On the Therapuss podcast, Blanco said he began crafting his partner checklist at age 34 to avoid fitting the lonely celebrity stereotype.
  • He set a minimum age of 30 for his ideal partner and prioritized traits such as kindness, passion for a personal pursuit and shared happiness.
  • He credited this approach with helping him “manifest” his romance with Gomez, whom he’s dated privately since June 2023 and publicly since December 2023.
  • The pair first bonded professionally on Gomez’s 2015 and 2017 releases before announcing their December 2024 engagement.
  • Despite their engagement, the couple have not formalized wedding plans and expect to hold a laid-back, “chill” ceremony.
