"It's not something I love," said Blanco of the spotlight their relationship receives. "It affects my life a lot. It's a necessary evil, a price I'm willing to pay in exchange for the things I get because of it."
"We kept our relationship private for a long time, about eight or nine months," he revealed.

"We're lucky because we both have friends and family we've known since before all this, and we're surrounded by a good group of people we love."

"We don't have those kinds of fights. I would never raise my voice to her," he said. "If something doesn't sit right with us, she might say, 'I don't like that!' And I'll say, 'Okay.' And then we try something else. Fortunately, we don't clash. We have very similar tastes."
