Selena Gomez, 34, has been filming season six of Only Murders in the Building in London since May, working alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short as the show brings in British co-stars David Tennant and Olivia Colman for the new season. Her husband Benny Blanco, 38, decided the distance called for a surprise rather than a video call.
Blanco made the trip across the Atlantic by boat instead of plane, a choice tied to his fear of flying. He documented the journey on social media with a caption that put the effort in plain terms, POV: ur traveling across the Atlantic in the titanic to see ur wife bc ur scared of flying, followed by, The things we do for love.
What waited for Gomez at the end of that trip was a hotel suite with rose petals covering the floor, leading from the entrance to a heart made of petals arranged in the bedroom. She shared the moment on Instagram, walking through the setup in a pale pink silk dress.
The pair, who married in September 2025, spent the visit taking in a London park together and having dinner at a candlelit restaurant with dark wood walls, followed by martinis and ice cream, a celebration that carried over from Gomez's July 22 birthday. Between the boat crossing and the rose petal reveal, the visit read less like a quick stopover and more like Blanco building the entire trip around the surprise itself.
