The reality star and the professional surfer made their relationship Instagram official in June 2022 — after Jenner shared a sweet photo of his love paired with the tune "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder.
"We kept our relationship pretty private at the beginning," Blaco said her their romance in a recent interview. "But we're both just so in love and it just happened naturally to share the fun things that we do and this exciting time in our life together."
