Since birthdays only come around once a year, it only makes sense to go big and spend that time with loved ones. In Selena Gomez’s case, that first involved reflecting on the age-old friendships she’s made with Only Murders in the Building co-stars. Then came some sun-soaked celebrating, complete with an A+ balloon banner with her name in it. Fittingly, her beau Benny Blanco shared some sweet messages and memories about the entertainer, but just as fittingly, Steve Martin’s hilarity stole the show.
Gomez took to Instagram to share a little self-love on her big day, which obviously came complete with tons of adoring comments from her ever-growing fanbase, as well as celeb friends such as Avatar’s Zoe Saldaña, Food Network’s Alex Guarnaschelli, Top Chef host Kristen Kish and more. But you know that top comment belonged to her music producer S.O., who wrote the following:
i got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain 😍
BENNY BLANCO
That probably wouldn’t make much sense, and isn’t the kind of assumption that a pro like Brazzos would make, but here’s the A+ response Martin had to Blanco’s birthday post comment:
@itsbennyblanco she sold the one I gave her.
STEVE MARTIN
So maybe there was a Brazzos chain involved somewhere. Or maybe it was a bike chain. Or even a chain of fast food restaurants…
Check out Selena Gomez’s full IG post below in all of its picturesque, balloon-accompanied glory.
The chain comment wasn’t the only public birthday message Benny Blanco shared with Selena Gomez. As she shared in her IG stories, he also dropped a throwback post to the time in 2019, around four years before they got together, when he cameoed in the music video for “I Can’t Get Enough.” Here’s what he told her:
i used to play a teddy bear in ur music video and now i get to b urs in real life…happy bday bb

It appears to have been a pretty good first 32 years on the planet for Selena Gomez, so here’s to as many happy returns as she can muster!
Only Murders in the Building‘s Season 4 cast is arguably the best one yet, with new stars such as Molly Shannon, Eugene Levy, Melissa McCarthy, Richard Kind, Zach Galifianakis, Kumail Nanjiani, Eva Longoria and more. Fans can find all those actors, as well as Gomez and Martin, whenever the murder-mystery comedy debuts on Friday, August 27 for fans with Hulu subscriptions..
