Selena Gomez feels "so lucky" to work with Steve Martin and Martin Short. The 32-year-old actress stars alongside the veteran comedians on Only Murders in the Building, and she truly cherishes the experience of collaborating with Steve, 79, and Martin, 74.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Selena shared, "I’m so lucky to be with Steve and Marty every day."

Steve also congratulated Selena on her recent engagement to record producer Benny Blanco by sending a message to Selena’s assistant. The brunette beauty, who plays Mabel Mora on the hit show, explained, "Steve made sure he sent my assistant an email, so my assistant could tell me congratulations. That’s how he communicates."

When asked if Steve intended to send the message to Selena’s assistant or directly to her, Selena replied, "Well, that’s a good question!" She added, "He always tries to be polite, and it’s very kind. But sometimes it’s OK to send a little text."

Selena has had significant success both as a singer and an actress over the years. However, the former Disney star recently revealed that she plans to focus on her acting career. She told Variety, "I love storytelling, and my music career is separate. However, I don’t see that being a forever thing."

Selena considers acting to be her "strong suit" and admitted that she’s now "a little too old for the pop-star life." She explained, "I definitely think my strong suit is probably acting."
