In an interview with TIME In May, the 31-year-old Rare Beauty founder opened up about her relationship with the 36-year-old music producer, noting that her future plans included adopting a baby in a few years if the two hadn’t met.

“I was alone for five years and I really got used to it. A lot of people are afraid of being alone, and I probably agonized over being alone in my head for two years and then I kind of accepted it,” Gomez told the publication in May.

“Then I thought about my plan that I would do at 35 if I hadn’t met anyone,” she continued, referring to her relationship with Blanco. “It just happens when you least expect it.”
