Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleBenny Blanco has once again become the center of online debate, but this time it has less to do with his music or his bond with Selena. The music producer recently shared that he traveled across the Atlantic by ship to meet his wife, Selena Gomez, who is presently in London. He had to go via waterways due to his long-standing fear of flying. Although many fans praised his romantic gesture, others questioned why he continues to avoid air travel despite previously sharing that he had overcome the phobia.
Benny Blanco chose a shop over a plane to visit London
Benny Blanco recently shared his unusual journey on TokTik. He posted a video of himself aboard a ship crossing the Atlantic Ocean. The clip featured the text "POV: ur traveling across the Atlantic in the Titanic to see ur wife bc ur scared of flying." Meanwhile, the video's caption read, "the things we do for love."
The video went viral on X (formerly Twitter), garnering significant views and sparking a major discussion. The trip comes at a time when he is preparing for the release of his upcoming album, Hermoso, scheduled for August 14, 2026. However, instead of discussing his new music, social media users shared their opinions about his fear of flying.
For those unaware, Benny Blanco has shared about his fear of flying on multiple occasions. According to the music producer, the phobia started several years ago when he experienced a terrifying flight that was hit by severe turbulence.
The incident reportedly left even the flight attendants visibly shaken, making him hesitant to fly again. Benny revealed that he had previously challenged himself by taking a commercial flight he thought he would never take. But it seems like he has not fully overcome his fear.
The phobia also affected his relationship with Selena Gomez. When the couple was dating, Benny used to travel by boat or drive long distances rather than flying. On the other hand, Selena had to take flights alone.

However, others were less understanding and argued that Benny should seek professional help before taking lengthy sea trips. Some also called out Selena for supporting him. One user wrote, "Only Selena could put up with all this nonsense, really." Another person wrote, "Imagine the huge problem of being an artist of that caliber and not being able to stick to certain schedules because you are afraid to fly. Poor guy."
