Meryl Streep and Martin Short Will Be Closer Than Ever at the Emmys

Meryl Streep and Martin Short Will Be Closer Than Ever at the Emmys

As a longtime admirer of the captivating world of entertainment and the illustrious careers of these iconic stars, I can only express my excitement at the prospect of Meryl Streep and Martin Short sharing the same table at this year’s Emmy Awards. Their chemistry on screen in “Only Murders in the Building” has been nothing short of magical, and if rumors are to be believed, it seems their off-screen bond is equally enchanting.


Only seatmates in the building.

It appears that Meryl Streep and Martin Short will be seated quite near each other at the 2024 Emmy Awards scheduled for September 15, as suggested by leaked seating arrangements allegedly shared by ABC, the television network broadcasting the ceremony.

Based on a September 13th update from X (previously known as Twitter), it appears that the stars of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ have been confirmed to sit together at the upcoming event, according to seating arrangements indicated by talent cards.

If it turns out they share a significant moment during the most prestigious TV event, it could add more fire to the gossip that these actors might be romantically involved. However, it’s worth noting that Short’s representative dismissed such rumors as far back as January.

“They are just very good friends,” his rep told TopMob News at the time. “Nothing more.”

Although Short personally declared to The Hollywood Reporter that he and Streep were just friends, their appearance at the after-party for the fourth season premiere of their Hulu series, linked arm-in-arm, failed to dampen the speculation. (The Father of the Bride actor and the Mamma Mia! actress even playfully posed together with Selena Gomez and Steve Martin from Only Murders in Alphabet City.)

2024 Golden Globes sparked rumors of an emerging romance between Streep and Short as viewers noticed a warm camaraderie between the old pals on live television.

Six years prior, her representative had disclosed that she and her long-term partner Don Gummer (father of their four children) had already been living apart for six years. Sadly, Nancy Dolman (mother to his three children) lost her life in 2010 after a prolonged fight with cancer.

Although the veteran actors aren’t dating each other in real life, their characters in “Only Murders in The Building” developed an unexpected romantic relationship during the third season of the show.

In August 2023, the show’s creator John Hoffman expressed surprise at the idea of pairing Meryl Streep with Martin Short and found their unexpected connection fascinating, as he shared with TheWrap. As Meryl herself put it, they aimed to avoid making their relationship saccharine or focusing on age-related aspects or any other stereotypes.

You observe Marty displaying remarkable effort and unparalleled intelligence in his work. It’s truly impressive. Not only does he consistently deliver heart-wrenching scenes that are a testament to his dramatic talent, but he manages to maintain a balance between humor and mystery. I find myself constantly amazed by him.
