Benny Blanco is setting sail to see his wife, Selena Gomez.
Gomez has been in London filming Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building since May, aside from a trip to N.Y.C. for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding, and now Blanco is paying her a visit — by boat, since he’s afraid of flying.
The songwriter and producer, 38, shared a TikTok video of himself on a boat in the middle of the ocean on Thursday, July 16. “POV: ur traveling across the atlantic in the titanic to see ur wife bc ur scared of flying,” he wrote in text displayed on screen.
“the things we do for love,” Blanco captioned the video, soundtracked by Sam Cooke’s “Nothing Can Change This Love.”
Gomez, 33, posted about her “first week in London” via Instagram in May, and she’s since shared footage from the set of Only Murders in the Building.
The “Good for You” singer shared several photos with Blanco to Instagram on June 10 amid their time apart. “distance means so little when someone means so much…. @itsbennyblanco mish you bb,” she wrote in the caption.
Blanco, who married Gomez on Sept. 27, 2025, has been open about his fear of flying in the past. During an April 2024 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he told a story about watching Titanic on a boat with Ed Sheeran while they worked on the Grammy winner’s Divide album.
“I don’t fly,” Blanco said. “I took a boat to Europe. I literally take the Titanic to Europe. It’s the same boat — when you’re on the boat, like day three, they’re like, ‘This is where the Titanic sank.’ And you’re just in the middle of no where.”

“Me and Ed Sheeran watched Titanic in bed cuddling on the fourth night,” he added with a giggle. “I swear.”
Earlier this month, Blanco announced his new album, Hermoso, is set for a Friday, Aug. 14 release. His new single, a collaboration with Bb trickz called “Joven y Salvaje,” is out now.
