Gomez confirmed their relationship online when she liked fan account posts on Instagram of the pair, even commenting, "He is my absolute everything in my heart," on one, and they made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Emmys in January.
"Without getting into too much detail, I think it's just really important to meet someone that respects you," Gomez previously said of their relationship to Apple Music's Zane Lowe. "And I think it's really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. But 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."
