The pair went public in December 2023 when she commented on a fan page’s post and confessed that they had already been dating for six months at the time.

Since then, Gomez has been excitedly showing off her newfound romance and even gushed about her beau in another interview on Friday.

While talking about her new single Love On, she opened up about her love life during an Apple Music 1 interview with Zane Lowe.

‘Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you,’ she said.

‘And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in,’ she continued. ‘I’d have to say overall it’s the safest that I feel, and it’s been really lovely and I’ve only grown through it. So it’s awesome.’
