Final night time, the 2025 TV information pulled off one other huge night time from its calendar as the 77th Emmys aired. Many exhibits’ casts have been there, from Severance to Abbott Elementary, and, after all, Steve Martin, Martin Brief and Selena Gomez from Solely Murders within the Constructing. Naturally, the hijinks-prone trio had enjoyable final night time but additionally had a viral second. Particularly folks fawned over Selena Gomez’s actual time response to Martin Brief texting Meryl Streep.
In a now broadly circulated video, co-star Selena Gomez could be seen glancing at a smiling 75-year-old on his cellphone. As soon as she realizes whom he’s speaking with by way of textual content, she leans over to her fiancé, Benny Blanco, and adorably delivers the information. Folks on the web imagine she says, “Marty’s texting Meryl,” with an enormous grin. Have a look for your self:

Although Solely Murders within the Constructing was among the many 2025 Emmy nominees, together with Greatest Comedy, Streep was MIA. Assumingly, her absence might relate to the filming schedule of The Satan Wears Prada 2, which will likely be out in spring 2026. But, it looks as if she was involved with forged mate, and love curiosity, Martin Brief.
The phase in full is simply so great to look at play out. From Martin Brief’s smile as he texts, to Selena Gomez sharing the change she noticed with Benny Blanco, I don’t know what I discover extra healthful. The latter two are actually giving off a mother and pa vibe as they relish within the Oliver Putnman actor’s happiness, although. Clearly I’m right here for all of it, however the response of the 33-year-old is simply high tier candy.
As for the legendary lovebirds, it’s been nearly a yr because the Brief and Streep relationship rumors ran wild on-line. Whereas they’ve by no means confirmed their relationship, the pair have been commonly seen collectively on and off the set of OMITB. Fortunately, Selena Gomez’s second let followers in on two issues. One, the Hollywood vets are communicative with one another when an element, and two, they’ve an equally electrical textual content sport between them.
Funnily sufficient, this isn’t the primary time Gomez has been the middle of a buzzy awards exhibit stage occurring. She and Taylor Swift shared a viral second at The Golden Globes in 2024 that was rumored to tie into eyebrowgate with Kylie Jenner (which was debunked by Gomez herself). Hopefully neither her or her castmates are too ruffled by this new off digicam catch, I can’t think about they’d be. Although I’m certain it has the Wizards of Waverly Place star pondering twice about when to place her hand over her mouth in order to keep away from a future installment.
Regardless, the stunning candid Emmys second of Selena Gomez celebrating the bond Martin Brief has with Meryl Streep by way of textual content is wildly watchable to me. It makes me wish to rewatch Solely Murders within the Constructing Seasons 3 and 4 with my Hulu subscription till the subsequent cute clip of Streep and Brief drops.
