On Friday, July 19, Selena Gomez shared a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a sweet photo with her "Only Murders in the Building" costars, Steve Martin and Martin Short. In the photo, Gomez is beaming beside Short, 74, and Martin, 78, with cameras and crew visible in the background, hinting at the excitement and camaraderie on set.

Reflecting on her upcoming 32nd birthday on July 22, Gomez expressed her gratitude for the people around her. She wrote, “Upon reflection, I realize with my birthday coming up, 32, I am so grateful that I have been surrounded by human beings that make me better, challenge me, remind me day after day that every moment is a gift.” She added, “That’s my pure joy. I thank god for the era I’m in. It’s been the best yet 🤓.”

This touching message to her costars comes just ahead of the highly anticipated fourth season of "Only Murders in the Building," set to return on August 27. Fans are buzzing with excitement, especially with the news that the season will kick off in Los Angeles, a first for the show, according to Deadline.

In a delightful twist of events, Gomez also made an appearance on her boyfriend Benny Blanco’s TikTok on the same day. Blanco, 36, introduced his followers to a viral snack – a watermelon pickle sandwich. “Have any of you seen this watermelon sandwich?” Blanco began, explaining his late-night internet discoveries. “So every night I get [motions being hungry] and I just start scrolling the internet … and four hours into it I come upon this f---ing watermelon sandwich. And it has no bread — like the watermelon is the bread.”

Blanco demonstrated the creation of the unconventional snack, layering sliced cheese and pickles between two thick slices of watermelon. He admitted, “This looks f---ing disgusting,” but took a bite anyway, commenting, “It’s not bad.”

Gomez’s reaction was priceless. Initially hesitant, she said, “I don’t want to,” but eventually took a bite, adding, “I’m not going to like this … but I love pickles, OK.” Blanco encouraged her, “Just eat it!” Gomez, trying her best, chewed thoughtfully but eventually grimaced and shook her head, setting the sandwich down and walking out of the shot.
