\n\tIt\u2019s a good time to be Selena Gomez<\/a>. In addition to her dual nominations at Sunday\u2019s Golden Globe awards for her co-starring role in the award-winning drug cartel musical Emilia P\u00e9rez<\/a><\/em> and her long-running role on the series Only Murders in the Building<\/em>, as you may have heard the singer\/actress recently got engaged to longtime love music producer Benny Blanco.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tWatch Selena Gomez Show Off Her Engagement Ring to Co-Star Martin Short at 2025 Golden\u00a0Globes\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tSo naturally, when she stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> on Monday night (Jan. 6), the host had a special engagement gift for her. \u201cIt\u2019s not a traditional gift and it\u2019s not necessarily a practical gift, but I think you and Benny are really going to enjoy it,\u201d said the host, before plunking a Daddy Saddle on his desk.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou can ride around on Benny in a very wholesome way,\u201d he explained as Gomez covered her face in mock horror. \u201cI don\u2019t want you to think that anything is being suggested here that isn\u2019t,
Kimmel explained, pulling off a bit of stray Christmas wrapping paper and admitting, \u201cThat may have been a regift.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere in the chat, Gomez said it was no big deal bouncing between two tables to spend time with her fellow actors from both her nominated projects, though she noted that Only Buildings<\/em> co-star Martin Short did get a bit possessive. \u201cNo [I didn\u2019t have to pick one table], I went to both,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cMarty was trying to steal my ring.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel posted video of always-on Short tugging the ring, with Gomez confirming that the comedian was \u201ctwisting\u201d it, which confused her. \u201cI wonder, is he appraising it?\u2026 because he really gave it a\u2026,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cHe wanted to know what was going on. I don\u2019t think he cared. Maybe he had a little [drinking motion],\u201d Gomez joked. <\/p>\n

\n\tGiven how close they\u2019ve gotten over the past few years, Kimmel asked if Blanco called Short and fellow Only Murders<\/em> co-star Steve Martin to formally ask permission for her hand in marriage \u2014 though her dad would have been the more obvious choice \u2014 with Gomez quipping that Short \u201cwasn\u2019t very happy\u201d about the snub.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn keeping with the yes-anding she\u2019s learned from the veteran comics, Gomez also mentioned that Martin sent her assistant and email so her assistant could tell her congratulations on his behalf. \u201cHe always tries to be polite and it\u2019s very kind but it\u2019s okay to send a little text,\u201d said Gomez, who thought Kimmel\u2019s idea that the two men could serve as the couple\u2019s ring bearers would be pretty cute.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe also once again heaped praise on one of her movie icons, Salma Hayek, recounting the red carpet meet-cute<\/a> at the awards show with her dad\u2019s biggest crush. \u201cDid you tell you dad you told her [about his crush]?,\u201d Kimmel asked. \u201cI didn\u2019t have to tell him,\u201d Gomez laughed. <\/p>\n
