Steve Martin And Martin Short Spill On The Ultimate Wedding Gift For Selena Gomez And Benny Blanco on ONDA LA

Hollywood’s Funniest Uncles Gear Up for Selena’s Big Day

Yo, SoCal fam, get ready for some serious wedding vibes straight outta Hollywood! Steve Martin and Martin Short, the comedy legends and resident ‘weird uncles’ of Selena Gomez, are already planning their grand entrance for her upcoming nuptials with music producer Benny Blanco. The ‘Only Murders in the Building’ crew recently spilled the tea, and it’s got that classic LA red-carpet chaos energy we live for.

In a chat with Extra on Tuesday, Sept. 2, the trio couldn’t help but crack jokes about the wedding deets. Martin, 80, and Short, 75, playfully griped about not scoring an invite - but don’t worry, they’ve got plans to ‘parachute in’ with hand mics and steal the show. Talk about bringing some Sunset Strip swagger to the ceremony!

And the best part? They’ve already got a gift lined up. ‘I have the perfect wedding gift, and we are going to give it to them together,’ Martin teased with a grin. We’re guessing it’s gonna be as iconic as a night out in West Hollywood.

A Gift That’s the Real Deal, According to Selena

While the dynamic duo kept the gift under wraps, Selena herself, at 33, couldn’t stop gushing about her co-stars. When asked what the ideal present from Martin and Short would be, she kept it real with a heartfelt nod.

‘This is the gift, honestly. Just having them in my life is more than I could ask for,’

Selena said, proving that their bond is tighter than traffic on the 405 during rush hour. Short even riffed with her about a salt-and-pepper shaker - okay, we’re dying to know if that’s part of the surprise!

Engagement Bliss and Epic Bromance

Let’s rewind to the engagement news that broke the internet - Selena dropped the bombshell in December 2024 with a swoon-worthy Instagram carousel. Showing off her stunning ring and a cozy pic with Benny, 37, she captioned it, ‘Forever begins now…’ Cue all the heart emojis from her millions of fans across Cali and beyond.

Martin wasn’t far behind with the love, posting a sweet snap of himself, Short, and Gomez on social media. ‘Congratulations to Benny and Selena, from her two weird uncles,’ he wrote, giving us all the feels. It’s clear this trio’s friendship, forged on the set of their Hulu hit since 2021, is pure gold - like a perfect day at Venice Beach.

Selena’s not shy about her admiration either. Back in April 2024, she called Martin and Short ‘the most kind, gentle, warm and powerful influences in my life’ on Insta, adding that their class and humor are rare finds in Tinseltown. Short returned the love, telling PEOPLE, ‘She’s so lovely as a human, so remarkable as a talent, with this aura and lovely spirit.’

Wedding Roles and Epic Speeches on Deck

The laughs keep coming when it comes to how these two might crash the wedding. Earlier this year on the March 27 episode of the Drew Barrymore Show, Selena admitted she hadn’t thought about having Martin and Short officiate - but she’s got big plans for them anyway.

‘Marty is due to give a speech,’ she revealed with a laugh, insisting Short must take the mic for an epic moment. And Steve? ‘He’ll probably pull out his banjo,’ she added, referencing his ‘Father of the Bride’ musical chops. We can already picture the reception turning into a full-on Hollywood Bowl jam session!

A Friendship Deeper Than the Pacific

Beyond the wedding buzz, the bond between Gomez, Martin, and Short just keeps growing. ‘Our friendship grows and grows,’ Short told PEOPLE, noting it gets ‘deeper and deeper.’ It’s the kind of connection that reminds us why LA is the heart of creative collabs and lifelong crew vibes.

As we wait for more wedding deets - and that mysterious gift reveal - let’s not forget to mark our calendars for ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Season 5, dropping Sept. 9 on Hulu with three episodes to kick things off, followed by weekly releases. Whether they’re solving mysteries or planning wedding shenanigans, this trio is serving up pure entertainment with a side of SoCal sunshine.

Stay tuned, fam - we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for any updates on this star-studded love story. And who knows, maybe we’ll catch Martin and Short pulling off some Malibu-style drama at the altar!
