She talked about the difficulties she had in her past relationships, which included singer-songwriter Justin Bieber, who is now married and has a son with Hailey Baldwin Bieber, in a joint interview with her fiancé, Blanco, for the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast.

Even though Gomez and Bieber have kept quiet about one another’s private lives for years, it’s obvious that the singer still finds resonance in their previous relationship. She recently talked openly about her faults throughout their time together in an emotional podcast episode. “I’ve been guilty, though, to start. I think for me, I necessarily felt like in other situations of mine I was very reactive. I think that’s why I was alone for five years because I really needed to collect myself”

However, Gomez wasn’t merely thinking back on the past; she also recognized the amount of personal development that had occurred. Regarding her connection with Blanco, she disclosed, “I think in the past, that’s why I said to him all the time 10 years ago it’s not that I wouldn’t have wanted to be with you, I just wouldn’t have been in the right headspace, and I don’t think you deserved what I had gone through before.”

Gomez’s self-awareness has grown significantly, and she attributes this to Blanco’s ability to make her feel understood in ways she never imagined.  “I’ve learned a lot of lessons and I’ve made mistakes, and I just want this to be right,” she said, further stating, “For me, that was a lesson that I had to learn. I think girls can equally want to be right. For me, it was really difficult in the past, and he’s made it unbelievably easy so that if I even get to the point where I’m so frustrated, he’s like very quick to understand.”

Gomez even disclosed that Blanco’s soothing influence enabled her to change her perspective from one of impulsive reaction to one of calmer, with more rational response to problems.
