Benny Blanco reveals why he’s ‘sailing across the Atlantic’ for Selena Gomez

Benny Blanco Selena Gomez Ocean the Atlantic Ocean

Benny Blanco says he is travelling across the Atlantic Ocean by boat to meet Selena Gomez due to his fear of flying.

The actor, 33, and the producer, 38, married in September 2025.

"The things we do for love," Blanco captioned a TikTok video posted on 16 July that appeared to show his journey.

Ed Sheeran previously recalled travelling for ten days by boat from the US to the UK with Blanco due to his fear, with the pair working on the singer's 2017 album Divide on the journey.

Gomez has been in London filming the sixth season of Only Murders in the Building since May.

Blanco revealed he was travelling by boat a few days ahead of Gomez's 34th birthday on 22 July.
