Get to know the partners of all the Hulu series' season 4 stars, including Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Tina Fey

Many of the characters on Only Murders in the Building may be unlucky in love, but many of their real-life counterparts have cracked the mystery on lasting relationships.

The Emmy-winning series, which premieres its fourth season on Aug. 31, 2024, features Selena Gomez as Mabel, Steve Martin as Charles and Martin Short as Oliver. The sleuthing trio collaborate to solve murders throughout the series, all while managing their interpersonal and private lives.

The Hulu series is not short on romantic plotlines. Mabel has had three love interests, including Cara Delevingne’s Alice Banks in season 2, while Oliver romances Meryl Streep’s Loretta Durkin in season 3.

Off-screen, many of the actors are in fulfilling long-term relationships. Read on to learn all about the real-life partners of the Only Murders in the Building season 4 cast members.

Selena Gomez's Boyfriend, Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez is blissfully happy with producer and songwriter Benny Blanco.

The Rare singer confirmed her relationship with Blanco in December 2023 by liking Instagram posts speculating that the two were dating. Blanco and Gomez had been together for six months, and to her fans questioning the relationship, she fired back, “If you actually care about me. This is my happiest. If you don't feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I'm done. If you can't accept me at my happiest then don't be in my life at all."

At the 2024 Primetime Emmys in January, the couple made their award show debut and were photographed being lovey-dovey in their seats.

While on The Howard Stern Show in May, Blanco told the radio jockey that he could envision marriage to Gomez but hadn’t purchased a ring. He called her his “best friend” and couldn’t imagine a world “where it could be better than this.”

Gomez, celebrating her 32nd birthday on July 22, 2024, shared a sweet photo of the pair on her Instagram Stories with the caption, “Love of my life.”

Steve Martin's Wife, Anne Stringfield

Steve Martin and his wife Anne Stringfield have been married since 2007.

The couple met in the mid-2000s while Stringfield worked as a fact-checker for The New Yorker. She first got in touch with Martin, who regularly contributed to the magazine’s Shouts & Murmurs section, while checking one of his pieces. The actor told AARP in 2017 that he talked to Stringfield over the phone for a year before they ever met face-to-face.

On July 28, 2007, Martin and Stringfield wed at their L.A. home in front of 75 guests, including Eugene Levy, Tom Hanks, Diane Keaton and best man Lorne Michaels. Former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey, a friend of Martin, officiated the ceremony.

In 2012, they welcomed a daughter named Mary. At the Governors Awards the next year, Martin said in his honorary award speech, “My wife alone would have been enough reward for my life … but now she's brought me a wonderful child.”

Stringfield has never walked a red carpet with her husband but has accompanied him to a few industry events like Vanity Fair’s 2013 and 2015 Oscar parties and the 2021 American Museum of Natural History Gala.

Two years later, they began dating; Richmond proposed to Fey while they were vacationing on Lake Michigan, toasting the occasion with champagne and a ring.

Of the proposal, Fey told PEOPLE in 2004, “​​My husband always said, 'If I'd known so many people would ask me how I proposed, I would have done it in some more theatrical way.' “

They wed in a 2001 Greek Orthodox ceremony and moved from Chicago to N.Y.C. to further their careers. Richmond has composed music for several of Fey’s high-profile projects, including 30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and the Mean Girls musical.

“[We] fell back together so easily and lovingly," Lynch told Parade in 2019. "We’re very different people now — we don’t have the same insecurities we used to have.”

The Glee alumna opened up about her relationship to PEOPLE in 2020, explaining why Cheyne makes her “thankful all day long.”

“She figures out how to deal with [everything]," said Lynch. “ That's the greatest thing about her, because I get overwhelmed, and I have no patience with details. She's very methodical and she takes things very slowly."

Michael Cyril Creighton's Husband, Brian Mullan

It’s been 20 years since Michael Cyril Creighton and Brian Mullan began dating.

The actor, who plays the lead trio’s cat-loving neighbor Howard, went on his first date with Mullan on May 14, 2004, and married him on the same day 12 years later.

Truly.”

The pair share two sons, born in 2013 and 2016. When their eldest was born, Galifianakis skipped the Toronto Film Festival premiere of his film You Are Here to meet their new arrival.

Eva Longoria's Husband, José Bastón

Eva Longoria, who plays a version of herself playing a version of Selena Gomez's character when the podcast goes to Hollywood, has been married to Mexican businessman José Bastón for nearly a decade.

When they first met through a mutual friend in 2013, the TV executive didn't know who she was, as he had never seen an episode of Desperate Housewives, Longoria revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2016. And though the first date wasn't a knockout, on the second one, Longoria felt “immediate chemistry.”

“He was the most handsome man I’d ever seen,” she recalled to PEOPLE in 2017. “He was so charismatic, charming, sweet and funny. I thought, ‘Who is this guy?!’ ”

They dated for two-and-a-half years before Bastón got down on one knee in Dubai with a ruby and diamond ring. Longoria and Bastón married in a lakeside Mexico town on May 21, 2016. In June 2018, they welcomed their first child, a son named Santiago Enrique.

Eugene Levy's Wife, Deborah Divine

Nearly 50 years ago, Eugene Levy and Deborah Divine wed and launched a comedic dynasty. Levy, who appears as himself in Only Murders season 4, tied the knot with the producer and screenwriter in 1977.

Although Divine prefers to stay behind the screen, the rest of her family is no stranger to the spotlight. Levy and their two children, Dan and Sarah, starred in the Emmy Award-winning comedy Schitt’s Creek. In his 2020 Emmy acceptance speech for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series, Levy thanked his wife “for all the love, support and sage counsel over the years.”

“I wouldn’t be up here without you, Deb. I love you,” the American Pie actor continued.

Days after Gordon heckled him at a 2006 show, the two ran into each other and hit it off. Though they started dating, Nanjiani was hesitant to commit to anything long-term, as he knew his parents were still hoping to find him an arranged marriage. However, when Gordon was put in a medically induced coma for Still’s disease, Nanjiani decided to reveal their relationship to his parents. Looking back on the health scare in 2017, the Eternals star told PEOPLE that he knew he wanted to marry Gordon after she went under.

“I remember thinking, ‘Oh, I love this woman, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. If she comes out of this I’m going to marry her.’ ” Nanjiani said.

They married a few months after Gordon recovered, tying the knot in a Pakistani-style wedding at Chicago’s City Hall.

The couple wrote the 2017 romantic comedy The Big Sick about their love story, which earned them an Oscar nod for Best Original Screenplay. They have also collaborated on the television series Little America as co-writers and executive producers. In 2022, Nanjiani starred in the comedy series Welcome to Chippendales, and Gordon served as a producer.

Though they’ve never collaborated professionally, Chesnut told the Swell Season Surf Radio podcast that the pair exchange opinions on each other’s projects.

“I look to her, and she has a good instinct as to what's really catching her attention,” he explained. "And then vice versa you know, she'll show me scripts or things that I'll read and I'll say 'This looks really good.’ “

The longtime couple have two children: daughter Stella, born in 2003, and son Nolan, born in 2005.

On Oct. 8, 2005, the couple said “I do” in a private ceremony. Eighteen years later, they’re still happily married and even translated their love onto the silver screen when they played love interests in the 2011 comedy Bridesmaids.

Speaking to PEOPLE as the cover star for the 2023 Beautiful Issue, McCarthy called her husband “constantly loving and kind and funny.”

“I remember thinking, 'Maybe I'll get married someday, but it won't be my family.' My family is my mom, my dad and my sister Margie, and nothing will ever feel like that. With Ben, it was the first time that I was like, 'Oh, this can grow,' " she added.

Daphne Rubin-Vega and businessman Thomas Costanzo tied the knot more than two decades ago, on Sept. 14, 2002.
