Sitting next to Martin Short and Steve Martin, her costars from the hit series, Gomez was immediately pulled into playful banter about the upcoming ceremony. Steve Martin joked that invitations for himself and Short should be arriving any day now, prompting Fallon to tease whether the pair would be attending. Gomez quickly assured him, saying, "Of course they are — Marty's the ring bearer." Short leaned into the joke by dramatically dropping to one knee, stretching his hand in the air, and declaring, "Here's your ring, Selena. Take it," imitating Gollum from The Lord of the Rings.
The lighthearted moment continued when Short told Fallon and the audience how excited he and Martin are for Gomez, adding with affection, "We are all so excited because we love this lady." Then, in true comedic fashion, he slipped in one last joke by saying, "And we love her fiancé, Bad Bunny," to which Gomez, with mock exasperation, quickly corrected him, "Benny Blanco."
Beyond the humor, Short has been openly supportive of Gomez's engagement. On the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast, he spoke about his admiration for her and praised Blanco as a fun, easygoing, and genuine partner. He said he was thrilled to see Gomez so happy and felt lucky to share both personal and professional moments with her.
