Martin Short<\/a> is sharing details on how he nearly ruined Selena Gomez<\/a>\u2019s wedding to Benny Blanco<\/a>.<\/p>\n During an appearance on the Wednesday, January 21, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a>, the Only Murders in the Building<\/a> star, 75, recalled what it was like attending his costar\u2019s nuptials to the music producer in Santa Barbara, California, in September 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cThe wedding was perfect. It was beautiful,\u201d Short said<\/a>, before revealing how he committed the ultimate wedding faux pas.<\/p>\n Short continued, \u201cEverything was perfect, except, the night of the reception \u2026 it was a big, big party, imagine a stage, dance floor, musicians. \u2026 At the back of the tent were these individual seating areas with couches and chairs. So if you had a group \u2014 we had a group [of] Only Murders in the Building [cast and crew], there was about 12 of us. All of us together.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t \t\t\t \n\t\t\tSelena Gomez and Benny Blanco\u2018s famous friends were in attendance as they tied the knot in a romantic wedding. The actress, 33, and the record producer, 37, exchanged vows in Santa Barbara, California, on Saturday, September 27, with celebrities including Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran snagging invitations. \u201cThere were about 170 people in attendance,\u201d an [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n \u201cThere was a cake, a wedding cake, by our section, but it was a small wedding cake. I just assumed there was a wedding cake for each section in the back,\u201d the comedian explained. \u201cAfter a few hours, they haven\u2019t cut their wedding cake yet, Steve [Martin] said he\u2019s gonna leave. I was like, \u2018Oh, wait.\u2019 Maybe I\u2019d had a cocktail. I had a fork in my hand. I said, \u2018Steve, you can\u2019t leave yet without a piece of wedding cake!\u2019 and I cut the wedding cake with one side, cut it the other, and then all the people in our group screamed, \u2018Marty!\u2019 It was the wedding cake. I tried to fix it with a fork.\u201d<\/p>\n Short joked that his actions left Martin, 80, \u201cso stunned\u201d that \u201che gained color,\u201d while Short turned to fellow guest Paul Rudd and said, \u201cSo, do we just leave?\u201d<\/p>\n Thankfully, Gomez and Blanco\u2019s wedding coordinator and chef were on hand to rectify Short\u2019s handiwork.<\/p>\n The actor said the chef \u201cdid surgery\u201d on the cake, quipping that it was a \u201cHollywood wedding cake in that it was beautiful, but now it had a little work done.\u201d<\/p>\n Short and Martin tried to keep the incident from Gomez, 33, on her big day, but it seems she found out.<\/p>\n \u201cI kept saying, \u2018No, guys, we can\u2019t let Selena know,\u2019\u201d Short recalled. \u201cAnd Steve said, \u2018Yeah, maybe we tell her in a month or something.\u2019 And then as I was leaving, Selena came by [and said], \u2018Hey Marty, I heard you tried to eat my cake.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Despite his escapade at the celebrity wedding, Short praised Gomez and Blanco\u2019s union.<\/p>\n \t\tThank You!<\/p>\n You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is such a great thing to go to a wedding where you just know that these people are perfect for each other,\u201d he said. \u201cYou know, Selena is like an extra child of mine. I adore her so much. And she found this guy, and he\u2019s the greatest guy, and they have the greatest hang, and they\u2019re wildly in love.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t![\"Selena](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Selena-Gomez-and-Benny-Blanco-Wedding-Guest-List.jpg?crop=0px%2C0px%2C1998px%2C1131px&resize=400%2C225&quality=40&strip=all\")
