Selena Gomez Honors Late Friend's Daughter
5 Mar
Summary
- Selena Gomez shared a touching tribute to her friends.
- The post followed the recent death of Steve Martin's daughter.
- Gomez expressed her enduring support for her co-stars.
Selena Gomez, 33, posted a tender tribute on Instagram Stories on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, expressing her deep affection for her "favorite guys," Steve Martin and Martin Short. The accompanying black-and-white photo appeared to be taken on the set of their popular Hulu show, "Only Murders in the Building."
Gomez's message of support comes more than a week after the shocking announcement of Steve Martin's daughter, Katherine Hartley Short, dying by suicide at 42 on February 23, 2026. Her passing was confirmed by Martin's representative, who stated the family was devastated and requested privacy.
Reports indicated Katherine was found by a friend with a note nearby, and her death certificate confirmed she was cremated on February 27, 2026. Katherine, who legally changed her name to Katherine Elizabeth Hartley in 2013 to avoid potential harassment, worked as a psychiatric social worker after earning degrees from NYU and USC.
Martin had Katherine with his late wife, Nancy Dolman, who passed away in 2010. The couple also shared two sons, Oliver and Henry. Gomez's affectionate post highlights the strong bond and mutual support among the "Only Murders in the Building" cast.
