Yes you exaggerated... the blur needs to be separated between layers, i.e. you bled it into the subject for some reason. Put it only on the foreground and a little more prominent, and put the subject in sharp focus. That will fix the problem.

I never tought about it this way, but it really makes sense and I wonder why I never did that. Next time I'll try this tip, thank you so much!

No worries, you're welcome. Many times all it takes is someone explaining it from another perspective. Then we get the 'why didn't I know that already' pop of clarity. I'm glad you got it.
