Selena Gomez Jokes at Emmys
While presenting the award for Best Supporting Actor, Gomez, Martin, and Short couldn’t resist making jokes. Martin teased Short about looking like he had fallen and couldn’t get up. Short joked that Martin looked like a former women’s tennis champion. Gomez joined in with a witty comment, saying, “And let me say what an honor it is to work with two men who are this close to becoming childless cat ladies.”

This joke was a nod to a recent controversial comment by J.D. Vance, who called certain women “childless cat ladies.” Vance, the Ohio senator running for vice president, had made the remark about Kamala Harris and other child-free women. His comment was widely criticized, and Taylor Swift had even responded to it in her social media posts, referring to herself as a “childless cat lady” in support of Harris.
Gomez’s joke not only lightened the mood at the awards but also subtly addressed the controversy. The singer and actress has her own personal struggles, including health issues that make it difficult for her to have children. Despite this, Gomez remains hopeful about becoming a mother through adoption or surrogacy in the future.
