A Funny Incident Almost Spoiled Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s Wedding

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s Wedding Nearly Disrupted by Cake Incident

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco celebrated their nuptials in a star-studded ceremony in September 2025, a joyful occasion attended by various celebrities, including Gomez’s co-star, Martin Short. Short, who had previously joked about his responsibilities at the wedding, inadvertently created a memorable moment when he nearly ruined the wedding cake.

During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Short recounted how he thought there were multiple wedding cakes available. "There was a cake, a wedding cake, by our section, but it was a small wedding cake," he explained. "I just assumed there was a wedding cake for each section in the back."

Steve Martin, another co-star from Only Murders in the Building, had to leave the festivities early. In an effort to ensure he didn’t miss out, Short, who humorously admitted to possibly having had a cocktail, decided to cut him a slice of the wedding cake. "Maybe I’d had a cocktail. I had a fork in my hand. I said, ‘Steve, you can’t leave yet without a piece of wedding cake!’ and I cut the wedding cake with one side, cut it the other, and then all the people in our group screamed, ‘Marty!’" It was then that Short realized he had sliced into the couple’s only wedding cake.

Despite the panic, the incident concluded on a high note. Short attempted to remedy the situation "with a fork," but it was the wedding chef who ultimately worked to restore the cake, impressing everyone with their skill. "It was a Hollywood wedding cake in that it was beautiful, but now it had a little work done," Short quipped.

The couple’s big day, filled with laughter and unexpected moments, is likely to be remembered fondly for both its joy and the chaos that ensued—bringing even more charm to their special celebration.
