Selena Gomez is showing love to Steve Martin and Martin Short.
On Wednesday, March 4, the singer and actress shared a black-and-white photo with her Only Murders in the Building costars on her Instagram Stories, showing the trio sitting on the floor together.
"My favorite guys," Gomez, 33, wrote over the snap. "I'll always be there for them as they have been for me."
"Love you Steve and I love you Marty," she concluded.

The message comes days after the trio of actors from the Hulu series were absent from the 2026 Actor Awards following a recent family tragedy for Short, 75, who was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series. The cast also earned a nod in the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series category. That award went to the cast of The Studio.
Short won Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series in 2025, and the cast received the award for Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series that year as well.
The actors did not attend the 2026 show as Short mourns the loss of his daughter Katherine, who died at the age of 42 on Feb. 23. Katherine was one of three kids Short shared with his late wife, Nancy Dolman, who died of ovarian cancer in 2010. He's also dad to Oliver Patrick, 39, and Henry Hayter, 36.

“It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short. The Short family is devastated by this loss and asks for privacy at this time,” the Short family previously told PEOPLE in a statement. “Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world.”
Gomez, Short and Martin, 80, have shared a close bond since first appearing alongside each other on the Hulu comedy in August 2021. Back in March 2025, the "Same Old Love" singer was asked by Hot Ones host Sean Evans which "old man tendency" she picked up from her costars. “I sit there and read the news with them every day," she said, before Gomez's now-husband Benny Blanco noted that their eating habits are now similar, too.
In April 2024, Short and Martin raved about the "remarkable" Gomez while chatting with PEOPLE, with Short explaining that their bond "just gets deeper and deeper and deeper."
“She is so lovely as a human, she's so remarkable as a talent, and she just has an aura and this lovely spirit," he said. “Our friendship grows and grows."
“We didn't really know Selena, we didn't know what we're getting into,” Martin added. “I knew she has a fabulous personality, she's very smart. But she is never late.”
He continued, "And that's a very big deal when you're making a movie, if people are standing around like, ‘Where is so-and-so?' She is on the mark...We all march down the steps together. It's fabulous. But it gives you an insight into her own personality and professionalism.”
