Selena Gomez Adopts Unexpected Habit from Co-Stars Steve Martin and Martin Short

Selena Gomez recently revealed an intriguing aspect of her relationship with her “Only Murders in the Building” costars, Steve Martin and Martin Short, during an interview with Hot Ones. The multi-talented musician shared how she has unintentionally taken on what she describes as an “old man tendency” from the veteran actors.

In the interview conducted by host Sean Evans on Thursday, March 20, Gomez disclosed that she has started engaging in a daily routine with Martin, 79, and Short, 74. She mentioned, “I sit there and read the news with them every day,” indicating a newfound camaraderie with her esteemed colleagues. Gomez’s fiancé, Benny Blanco, also chimed in, highlighting how their eating habits have started to align. “They eat the same thing every day,” Gomez stated, revealing that she has now adopted a similar diet. She shared, “So, it’s either a tuna sandwich with Dijon mustard or sushi. And now I eat the same thing every day. So, it’s either a tuna sandwich with Dijon mustard or sushi. And now all I eat is a chicken salad sandwich. And for some reason, I’m excited to get my meal next to theirs.”

Embracing the theme of unexpected connections, Gomez delved into the remarkable success of her 2020 hit, “Lose You to Love Me,” which marked a significant milestone as her first No. 1 song. Reflecting on the impact of the song, she expressed, “To be honest, I haven’t had really any number ones, so I don’t really think I’ve ever cared until ‘Lose You to Love Me.’ I thought the song was gonna be hopefully relatable and beautiful and honest, but I did not expect it to do what it did. And it was much bigger than me.”

In a touching sentiment, Gomez shared her belief that the song resonated deeply with her audience, evolving into a piece that could be interpreted and cherished in multiple ways by listeners. She noted, “It had nothing to do with what it actually meant. It ended up being a song for people that felt the way that I felt and maybe turned it into another version of a song that suited them.” This realisation of the song’s impact left a lasting impression on Gomez, describing it as “really powerful” and a significant milestone in her music career journey.

The talented duo of Gomez and Blanco has been making waves with their collaborative music endeavours, with the recent announcement of their upcoming album, “I Said I Love You First.” Their musical synergy was showcased through the release of singles such as “Scared of Loving You,” “Call Me When You Break Up” featuring Gracie Abrams, and the visually captivating “Sunset Blvd,” accompanied by a sultry music video.

Keeping the momentum going, Gomez and Blanco surprised fans with a preview of their latest track, “Bluest Flame,” during a special appearance at the A24 x IMAX screening of “Spring Breakers” in New York City on Wednesday, March 21. The anticipation for “I Said I Love You First” is mounting, with the album scheduled for release on the same day, promising a musical journey filled with creativity and emotion.
