Hollywood actor Martin Short shared a mishap where he almost spoiled the wedding of singer-actress Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco by cutting into their cake before it was served. The incident occurred at the couple’s wedding in Santa Barbara, California, on September 27, 2025, as revealed by Martin during a recent episode of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’. Short mistakenly assumed the cake near his seating area was meant for guests, leading to a comical cake-cutting episode.
Steve Martin, who was also present at the wedding along with celebrities like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, had to leave early. However, Martin Short, being a part of the ‘Only Murders in the Building’ cast, couldn’t resist having a piece of the cake. Despite the awkward situation, the wedding coordinator and chef managed to salvage the cake, turning it into a beautiful Hollywood-style wedding cake after some quick fixes.
During the show, Martin humorously recounted the incident, where he impulsively cut the cake with a fork, causing a stir among his group. The mishap, just an hour before the cake was to be presented, led to some last-minute adjustments by the chef. Despite the initial blunder, the wedding cake was eventually restored to its former glory, with Martin’s intervention cleverly concealed in the final presentation.
