Gomez spoke to Vanity Fair about her relationship with Blanco, saying, “I’ve never been loved this way. He’s just been a light. A complete light in my life. He’s my best friend. I love telling him everything.”
She also addressed their future plans, sharing that they feel no pressure to get married. “We always make sure we’re protecting what we have, but there’s no rules,” she explained. “I want him to always be himself. I always want to be myself.” She added that one thing is certain when and if she does get married: “I’m not changing my name no matter what. I am Selena Gomez. That’s it.”
Blanco, for his part, spoke about Gomez during his interview with Howard Stern in May. “The way we talk and stuff, people always say this to me, ‘You know when you meet your best friend,’” he said. “She’s truly just like my best friend. We laugh all fucking day. She inspires me. I get home from work, I think I had a good day. I’m like, ‘What did you do?’ She’s like, ‘Oh, I just filmed this thing with Meryl Streep and then I went to a fundraiser and now I’m like recording—’ My day sounds like shit every day compared to hers.”
When asked if he was going to propose to her, he hedged the question, saying, “When I look at her, I do say, I’m always just like, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.’”
