The pair, who confirmed their romance in December 2023, regularly share their love for one another on social media, with Gomez previously calling the record producer her “absolute everything” in an Instagram comment while confirming they were dating.
The Only Murders in the Building actress stars as Jessi Del Monte in Emilia Pérez, which received a minutes-long standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival back in May, perVariety and Deadline.
In the movie, Gomez plays the wife of feared drug cartel leader Manitas (Karla Sofía Gascón) who seeks out lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldaña) to help him secretly complete a sex change operation to become a woman as he approaches retirement from the business.
The movie is divided into four acts and also features original songs performed by the cast throughout, per Variety. Netflix released the first trailer for the Spanish-language French film on Aug. 26.
Gomez recently appeared on a Q&A panel alongside cast members including Saldaña, 46, and Gascón, 52, on Sunday, Sept. 1 as the film aired at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival.
While speaking about learning the song “Mi Camino,” Gomez said, “It was actually a totally different song.”
“It had a bit more of a rough sound to it and over the course of, you know, working with [singer-songwriter] Camille on the song intimately, it became almost like a ballad,” the former Disney star said. “It was more of a story about a woman and phases of life that she goes through and it just was beautiful.”
