Selena Gomez has revealed a special role for her “Only Murders in the Building” co-star Martin Short at her upcoming wedding to Benny Blanco. The actress and singer shared on “The Drew Barrymore Show” that Short is set to give a speech during the ceremony, and she couldn’t be more excited about it.
A Wedding Speech to Remember
Gomez, 32, expressed her enthusiasm over Short’s participation, saying she specifically asked him to give a speech. “Marty is due to give a speech,” she said. “I told him he must … I feel like Marty would have an epic speech.”
Her admiration for Short, 75, has been evident throughout their time working together on Hulu’s hit series. Their comedic chemistry is undeniable, and fans can only imagine what kind of heartfelt yet humorous words he might deliver on her big day.
Gomez also playfully suggested that their other co-star, Steve Martin, might take the opportunity to show off his musical skills at the wedding. “He’d probably pull out his banjo,” she joked, hinting at a lighthearted and entertaining ceremony.
Will Steve Martin and Martin Short Officiate the Wedding?
During her chat with Barrymore, the host asked whether Gomez had considered having Martin and Short officiate her wedding. The question seemed to take the singer by surprise. “Oh my gosh! I hadn’t even thought about that,” she responded.
The idea isn’t too far-fetched. The duo is known for their long-standing friendship and comedic partnership, and officiating Gomez’s wedding would certainly make for an unforgettable event. Whether or not the couple decides to go in that direction remains to be seen, but fans would certainly love to see the comedy legends take on such a role.
A Surprise Proposal with a Touch of Grumpiness
Gomez and Blanco, 37, announced their engagement in December 2024, after over a year of dating. The “Lose You to Love Me” singer took to Instagram to share the news, posting photos of the moment with the caption, “Forever begins now.”
She later gave more details about the proposal during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” The singer admitted she was initially “grumpy” leading up to the moment because she was confused about what was happening.
“I woke up and was very confused on what was happening or where we were going because it seemed kind of far. I was kind of a little grumpy [and] really tired,” she said.
She even told Blanco she wanted to “go hang out with [her] friends” after they were done working. Despite her initial mood, she was caught completely off guard when he popped the question, describing it as a moment that “went off without a hitch.”
Taking Their Time with Wedding Plans
While the couple is officially engaged, they aren’t in a rush to walk down the aisle just yet. “We haven’t figured anything out,” Gomez admitted when discussing their wedding plans.
That hasn’t stopped fans from speculating about what the big day might look like. From the guest list to the venue, there’s plenty of curiosity surrounding their upcoming nuptials. One thing is for sure—if Martin Short’s speech is anything like his on-screen performances, it’s bound to be both emotional and hilarious.
