Selena Gomez isn’t doing the typical wedding routine. During a lively interview on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” in September 2025, the star singer shared that her ring bearer will be none other than her “Only Murders in the Building” co-star, Martin Short.
Yes, that Martin Short. The comedy legend didn’t miss a beat. He responded with a Gollum impression from “The Lord of the Rings,” complete with the raspy voice and “my precious” bit. The audience roared. Gomez laughed, clearly enjoying every second of it. It was the kind of moment only she could deliver: funny, warm, and just left of center.
Of course, her wedding to music producer Benny Blanco is already making plenty of headlines. The couple, who got engaged earlier this year, has kept most details under wraps. But this surprise ring bearer pick? That was pure Selena Gomez energy.
Selena Gomez and the Power of the LBD
Gomez, 33, is also making fashion news. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she has been seen in a series of flawless little black dresses. They are not trendy or flashy, just sharp, strong, and elegant.
At the 2025 Disney Upfront event, she wore a custom Thom Browne gown with a boat neckline and fine pinstripes. The diamond jewelry was understated. The engagement ring? Impossible to miss. It wasn’t loud. It was cool, grown-up, and effortless.

Then came the Governors' Awards. She showed up in a Ralph Lauren column dress covered in sequins, with a white collar and white cuffs. It had a masculine twist but stayed feminine and bold. Her look said, "I'm not here to be cute. I'm here to be confident."
Little About the Wedding
So, when is the big day? September 27, 2025. That is the date. But don’t expect drone shots or leaks. The location is a closely guarded secret. Guests will be shuttled to a private estate in either Santa Barbara or Montecito without knowing the exact destination beforehand.
But of course, this is still Hollywood. The guest list includes some big stars. Taylor Swift is set to be the flower girl. Yes, really. Travis Kelce is coming with her. Ed Sheeran already RSVP’d. And naturally, Martin Short and Steve Martin will be there, this time without the crime-solving plotline.
Selena Gomez’s Wedding Feels Different
Gomez / IG / Selena has been through a lot. Public breakups, health struggles, industry pressure. But now, she seems centered.
This isn’t just another celebrity wedding. It feels more personal. More grounded. Selena Gomez has always done things her own way, and this wedding is no different. Choosing Martin Short as the ring bearer might be funny, but it’s also kind of perfect.
He has been a friend, a co-star, and a supporter. Their on-screen chemistry isn’t just acting. It comes from a real bond. Putting him in the ceremony makes sense; it’s not a stunt.
The fashion choices, the tight guest list, the meaningful roles for friends - it all points to a woman who knows who she is and isn’t afraid to show it.
For longtime fans of Selena Gomez, this moment hits differently. We have seen her grow from a Disney star to a global pop icon, producer, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate. The pop icon has been honest about the hard parts. She has never played the game the usual way.
