The singer shared the news on Instagram on December 12, 2024, posting photos of Blanco’s intimate picnic proposal and her stunning marquise-cut engagement ring with the caption, “Forever begins now.”
A video on her Instagram story captured the moment she surprised a friend with the news via video call. Blanco commented on her post, “Hey wait… that’s my wife,” while celebrities like Taylor Swift, Lil Nas X, and Jennifer Aniston congratulated the couple in the comments.
