Overview
- Blanco posted a TikTok showing himself aboard an ocean liner and joking “POV: ur traveling across the atlantic in the titanic” on July 16, saying the trip was “the things we do for love.”
- The decision reflects Blanco’s well-documented fear of flying, which he has described in past interviews and social posts as the reason he sometimes travels to Europe by ship.
- Selena Gomez has been based in London since May to film Only Murders in the Building season 6, creating a prolonged stretch of physical distance that Blanco is addressing with the sea crossing.
- A transatlantic liner typically takes a week or more to reach the UK, making Blanco’s route a lengthy but consistent alternative to flying that also overlaps with his promotion for a new album due in mid-August.
- The episode underscores how celebrity social posts serve as primary reporting sources and shows the personal trade-offs the couple is making to stay together while balancing work schedules.
