I'm sorry it took a time to learn how to make screenshorts.

Currently your selection contains the background. 

I would recommend »going the other way«; use Select > Subject (refine the Selection as necessary) and use that as a Layer Mask on a duplicate of the Background Layer. 

Then you can insert new backgrounds behind that.

For a plain Gradient adding a Gadient Layer (Layer > New Fill Layer > Gradient) might suffice. 

But maybe you have seen videos of the »Backdrop Creator« Neural Filter?

Was the »Backdrop Creator« already available in Adobe Photoshop 2022? (In his new screenshot you can see the version.)

Good point; I think it isn’t available in Photoshop 2022.

If it is a question about Adobe Photoshop, you are in the right place. There are other sub-forums that deal with questions about Adobe Photoshop Express or Adobe Photoshop Elements or Adobe Lightroom, for example.
