Gomez and Blanco recently documented returning to the restaurant where they had their first date on Instagram. The duo happily cooked up fried shrimp with curry — the meal they had — at Jitlada Restaurant, an authentic Thai food joint on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, with the restaurant’s owner, Sarin “Jazz” Sing.
The couple’s joint album, I Said I Love You First, is set to arrive on March 21. The project features previously released singles “Scared of Loving You” and “Call Me When You Break Up” featuring Gracie Abrams.
Gomez discussed working with her fiancé in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, sharing, “It just felt like it was a little taste of what we are and how we made this together, and how much we loved it and how much we love each other. And it just felt like it was meant to be.”
Blanco then gushed over Gomez, noting, “She’s had such a journey in life, both personally, medically, so many other things. She makes you just believe it. She’s like, ‘I’m not scared of dying young or anyone,’ but she’s scared of the fact of losing someone that she’s finally created a bond with where she feels comfortable enough. And somehow by God’s grace, I happen to be that person. I have no idea why, but I am.”
