Get a software program and the training needed to perform this editing change. What software do you have already? You might get instructions on that tool if you add a reply with that detail.

if you have Lightroom, the new update allows you to select, Subject, Background or sky and change either to whatever you wish.

In Photoshop you might do it with layers. Duplicate the background layer. Convert the background to B&W. In the top layer, mask and select the subject and eliminate the background.

Then you're in business. You can find plenty of example utube videos. You just have to find the proper google search phrase.
A very simple process using LR and PS would be:
1, Edit the original color version in LR to your satisfaction as a color image.
2, Make a virtual copy of the edited version in LR.
3, Change the VC to B&W inside LR.
4, Send both the color and BW versions to PS.
5, Mask the colored version to extract a copy of the couple as a new layer.
6, Hide the layers other than the extracted copy.
7, Bring the extracted couple from the color into the BW version as a new layer.
8, Save and close the BW version and return to LR.
Possible google searches:

google How to BW convert in Lightroom utube training
google using layers in Photoshop utube training

You can do it with only Lightroom Classic.

- Select background, or select subject and invert
- Desaturate.

Same thing I responded, only I was thinking of Photoshop Elements. Same sequence for Affinity, also.

That is worth watching. It made my Photoshop layers suggestion several posts back obsolete!
