Gomez then went on to explain just how much Blanco means to her.

“I’m beyond proud to know that there is someone in the world that deeply cares about every tiny detail about who I am,” she added. “And have someone support me, encourage me, inspire me and motivate me. It brings me a joy. And more than anything he’s just my best friend.”

“I’m really, really lucky,” she concluded.

The “Calm Down” singer has previously said that she feels the “safest” she has “ever felt” in her current relationship, adding, “And I see a future with this person,” while speaking with The Hollywood Reporter.

Gomez also told the outlet that she and Blanco make a conscious decision to share some of their relationship with the outside world.

“When you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down,” she said. “Like, if they hear something, they’re going to, but if you’re like, ‘I did it,’ they’re like, ‘Oh, well there’s you, just going to Sushi Park.’ But there’s so much of my relationship people don’t see — that’s just mine.”

Gomez has also called Blanco the “love of my life” on Instagram.

In PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive issue, Blanco shared his tips for being a “Sexy Gentleman.” Among the music producer’s nuggets of wisdom were “learn how to cook,” “dress with confidence” and “self-care is a must.”

Blanco also revealed what makes an excellent date: “The No. 1 thing you need to do on a date is just listen to what the person’s saying. Don’t talk about yourself the whole time. No one cares,” he said.
