Without name-dropping her new beau, 35, she said self-respect and holding space for the feelings of others are a top priority on her list for any partner.
“Honestly, I have to start being attracted to the right kind of people, because it’s a bit of both,” the “Love You Like a Love Song” singer said in the interview that has been translated from Spanish to English.

While Gomez previously revealed she and Blanco have been dating for about six months, the two have known each other longer than that.
