Selena Gomez has spoken out following the death of Only Murders in the Building costar Martin Short.
“My favorite guys,” Gomez, 33, captioned an Instagram Story post on Wednesday, March 4. “I’II always be there for them as they have been for me.”
Gomez shared a black-and-white photo of herself with Short, 75, and Martin, 80, that appeared to be taken on the Only Murders in the Building set.
“Love you Steve and l love you Marty,” she concluded.
Gomez has appeared alongside Short and Martin on the Hulu show since it premiered in August 2021. The trio have gushed over each other through the years, with Gomez even joking in an October 2025 interview that Short would be the ring bearer at her wedding to Benny Blanco.
Gomez’s social media post comes more than one week after news broke that Short’s daughter Katherine Hartley Short died by suicide at 42 on February 23.
“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,” Martin’s rep confirmed in a statement to Us Weekly. “Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world.”

TMZ later reported that Katherine was found by a friend “behind a locked door and with a note nearby.” Katherine’s death certificate confirms that she was cremated on Friday, February 27.
Martin shared Katherine with his late wife, Nancy Dolman, who died in 2010 following a battle with ovarian cancer. They also shared sons Oliver, 39, and Henry, 36.
Years before her death, Katherine filed to have her name changed to “Katherine Elizabeth Hartley,” according to court documents obtained by Us from October 2012. The motion was reportedly granted in 2013.
“My father is a public figure. I am a psychiatric social worker,” Katherine stated in the court documents. “I am concerned about potential harassment from future patients resulting from my association with my father.”
Katherine became a licensed clinical social worker in Los Angeles after completing her undergraduate studies at New York University in 2006 and graduate studies at the University of Southern California in 2010.
