As the boat, called Rachele, made its way across the canal, Gomez and Blanco enjoyed some PDA-packed quality time, per photos shared by The Daily Mail. One candid shot, in particular, featured Gomez leaning in to hug Blanco and give him a kiss on the cheek as they enjoyed the romantic view of the city.

For the first day of their trip, Blanco opted to wear a light blue suit over a matching button-up shirt, which he styled with black loafers and no socks. Gomez mirrored the monochrome theme in an autumnal ensemble dripping in shades of brown. The outfit consisted of a sleeveless, mock-neck blouse in mocha-brown, tucked into a tawny suede skirt that hit just above her ankles. The column skirt featured front-facing pocket with gold hardware on either side of her waist.
