Martin Short Details Nearly Ruining Selena Gomez's Wedding Cake—and the Unexpected Way She Reacted
- On September 27, 2025, Martin Short recalled cutting into Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s wedding cake before it was presented, risking the couple’s moment.
- Short said he assumed there was a cake for each seating section and noticed a small wedding cake near their table, and with Steve Martin, actor and comedian, preparing to leave, he cut a piece, possibly after a cocktail.
- Short described cutting the cake one side then the other, trying to fix it with a fork as guests screamed 'Marty!', while the wedding coordinator and chef rushed over and 'did surgery' to repair it.
- Despite the near-disaster, Short said Gomez learned of the mishap before the night ended and he called the nuptials perfect and beautiful, expressing his adoration for the newlyweds.
- About 170 people attended the star-studded reception that included guests such as Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, and Jimmy Kimmel Live later shared close-ups of the repaired cake, going viral online.
