Overview
- Blanco posted a TikTok on July 16 showing himself aboard a ship and captioned the clip to say he was crossing the Atlantic to see his wife because he is afraid of flying.
- He has publicly described a long‑standing aerophobia and has previously traveled to Europe by boat, a pattern he discussed in past interviews and social posts.
- Gomez has been based in London since May to film Only Murders in the Building season 6, creating an extended period of physical separation that the couple have acknowledged publicly.
- The ocean crossing typically takes a week or more, and coverage notes Blanco’s trip comes ahead of Gomez’s 34th birthday on July 22 and while he is preparing to release his album Hermoso on August 14.
- Blanco’s TikTok turned a private travel choice into a widely shared human‑interest moment that both underscores how the couple manage time apart and gives Blanco a social‑media narrative that coincides with his forthcoming music promotion.
