Inside The Real Love Lives of the Only Murders in the Building Stars

As I delve deeper into the intriguing world of Hollywood, I find myself captivated by the fascinating tales of love and romance that unfold both on and off the screen. It seems that our beloved Emily in Paris duo, Ashley and Paul, have found their own slice of romantic bliss off-camera. Their bond was forged amidst trials and tribulations, as they navigated foreign hospitals and medical emergencies, creating a love story as captivating as any scripted drama.


Meryl Streep and Martin Short insist there is only friendship in their building. 

Despite the fact that the stars of “Only Murders in the Building,” who are nominated for 21 Emmys on September 15, 2024, have been denying romance rumors surrounding their own relationship since their characters Oliver and Loretta developed an on-screen romance, they maintain that there is no genuine spark between them in real life.

In January, TopMob News was informed by the actor’s representative that they are simply close friends with no romantic involvement beyond their friendship.

Despite their advanced ages, Martin (age 74) and Meryl (age 75), both nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor and Outstanding Lead Actress at the Emmys for their roles in a comedy-drama series, have kept the rumors of their romantic involvement alive. They were spotted attending the premiere of season four of the Hulu series together, holding hands, and Martin has been quite open about expressing his admiration for Meryl during interviews.

In an interview with Extra last month, he enthusiastically shared, “Our friendship continues to blossom, as it has been a relationship that thrives.” If you collaborate with someone and cherish them deeply.

Martin steered clear of delving deeply into his screen chemistry with the Mamma Mia! star, Selena Gomez, who has been recognized as a nominee for Outstanding Lead Actress for her portrayal of Mabel at the Emmys. However, Selena remarked, “It’s very endearing.

Back in October, it was revealed that the representative of the actress from “The Devil Wears Prada” had disclosed a private separation between her and husband Don Gummer, which occurred as early as 2017. They share five children together: Henry (aged 44), Mamie (41), Grace (38), and Louisa (33).

As their devoted follower, I was informed by the representative to TopMob News that the long-married duo, having shared a bond for 40 years, will continue to maintain a friendship. They have made the decision to pursue separate lives, a choice they’ve termed as “choosing different paths.

Martin, tragically, lost his beloved wife Nancy Dolman to cancer in 2010. Almost a decade later, the former Saturday Night Live star opened up to AARP in 2019, expressing that he continues to converse with her and described their marriage as a great accomplishment, stating, “Our marriage was a success.

Meanwhile, it’s just Meryl and Martin from the set of “Only Murders” who have stirred up relationship rumors, but there are many other love stories worth mentioning within the cast. For instance, Selena is currently in a passionate, almost year-long romance with record producer Benny Blanco.

Indeed, there have been whispers about them too, with fans suggesting that they might be engaged. While they haven’t confirmed any such news, Selena made it clear on Instagram in 2023 that Benny holds a special place in her heart, stating he is “everything” to her.

Regarding Steve Martin, who completes the stellar “Only Murders” trio alongside Selena and Martin, he and his wife Anne Stringfield initially connected on the telephone during the early 2000s. They were blessed with their first child in the year 2012.

To solve the mystery of every cast member’s love life, keep reading.

Speaking about her relationship with record producer Benny Blanco, Selena openly acknowledges that she sometimes struggles to resist expressing affection physically. Given that they’ve been quite open about their romance on social media since making it public last year, it’s no surprise they often display their affection for each other.

In a December 2023 Instagram comment to a Benny fan, she expressed, “He means the world to me.

Initially, Selena disclosed that they had been in a relationship for six months, while Benny shared insights about how their friendship evolved into a romantic connection at a later point.

He shared with the Wall Street Journal in April 2024 that he was the one who found out last about having feelings for Selena. It’s amazing how a partner can be so close, right under your nose, and yet remain unnoticed. Then suddenly, it strikes you like a bolt of lightning in the movie “Clueless”, when you realize, Wow, I’m falling in love.

Instead of reminiscing about Selena’s past relationships with Justin Bieber (who was on-and-off with her until 2018) and The Weeknd (whom she dated in 2017), many fans of the Wizards of Waverly Place alum recall. However, Selena clarifies that Benny is not just another chapter in her love story.

In a conversation with Zane Lowe back in February 2024, I can confidently say that my relationship with Benjamin Joseph Levin feels incredibly secure. It’s been a wonderful journey, one that has not only brought me immense joy but also fostered personal growth within me. Truly, it’s an amazing experience.

Steve’s character Charles might not have the smoothest journey in romance, but comedian Steve is thriving nonetheless. It’s worth noting that the star of “Cheaper by the Dozen” has been blissfully married to his wife Anne Stringfield since 2007.

During the 2000s, while Anne was verifying facts for The New Yorker magazine, she had her charming first encounter with Steve over the phone. At this point in time, Steve was writing humor pieces for the publication. In an interview with AARP in 2017, he revealed that he and his wife conversed on the phone for a whole year before they finally met in person.

Initially, Steve characterized Anne as timid when they first met, but their relationship unexpectedly blossomed into a passionate one. In the end, they shockingly got married in a secret ceremony attended by some notable figures such as Lorne Michaels (the creator of Saturday Night Live), Eugene Levy, Tom Hanks, and Diane Keaton.

Steve was married to his former spouse Victoria Tennant from 1986 until 1994, however, it wasn’t until 2012 that he became a parent for the first time, welcoming child Mary with Anna.

He later told AARP that becoming a dad at nearly 70 was “fantastic.” 

He expressed that, had he become a father earlier in life, his focus might have been too much on his career and he may not have been an effective parent due to neglecting his child. He emphasized that she brings him far more than he can offer.

Prior to his role in “Only Murders,” Martin first encountered his one true love, Nancy Dolman, on the set of “Godspell” back in 1972. The pair, parents to children Katherine, Oliver, and Henry, were married from 1980 until Nancy passed away following a fight against cancer in 2010.

Meanwhile, there have been whispers of a romantic connection between Martin and his long-standing co-star and friend, Meryl Streep, but he has previously mentioned that he frequently talks to Nancy.

In 2019, he enthusiastically shared with AARP, “Our marriage has been a great success!” He often pondered, “What would Nan think about this choice or that, particularly concerning our three children?

Nevertheless, Martin discovered that following the unexpected passing of his wife, he came to understand the things he values most in life.

In his words to AARP, “I view life as a daily practical lesson, always seasoned with an overlay of ‘Strive to be as happy as possible.’

Currently, Meryl seems to be putting a smile on Martin’s face – when they both turned up hand-in-hand for the first episode of their “Only Murders” season 4, there was speculation. However, it might have been an act for their roles, as confidants close to the actor from “The Santa Clause” movie franchise told TopMob News in January 2024 that they’re merely “very close friends.

Martin shared with Extra in August 2024 that his friendship with Meryl has consistently blossomed. He explained, “When you collaborate with someone and cherish them deeply.

Before sparking rumors about her relationship with her on-screen partner from “Only Murders,” Meryl Streep was married to her ex-husband Don Gummer for almost four decades. The pair, who have grown adult children named Henry, Mamie, Grace, and Louisa, separated in 2017, but chose to keep their separation private until 2023.

For over six years, Don Gummer and Meryl Streep have been living separately, according to a representative of the renowned actress who spoke to TopMob News in 2023. Despite their feelings for one another remaining strong, they’ve decided to lead separate lives.

The latest time the pair were seen together in public was at the 2018 Academy Awards. Also, at the initial Oscars event in 2012, the three-time winner, who later became her husband, couldn’t hide his admiration for her during a heartfelt speech.

In my heartfelt acceptance speech for the Best Actress award for my role in “The Iron Lady”, I began by expressing my gratitude to Don. You see, when one thanks their partner at the end of a speech, they play them out with music – and I wanted him to truly understand that all the values I cherish most in life, he has been instrumental in bestowing upon me.

Although Paul might not reside at the Arconia anymore, his character Ben Glenroy in “Only Murders” will always be remembered with a certain infamy, and it’s worth mentioning that his personal life, much like his role in “Ant-Man,” has also garnered considerable attention.

In the late ’90s, it was during this time that Paul encountered his wife, Julie Yaeger – a screenwriter and producer, who happens to be quite charming. Incidentally, she was the very first person Paul came across in New York. Their meeting took place in a publicist’s office, following Paul’s successful breakout role in ‘Clueless’. Isn’t it just adorable how things work out?

In a conversation with Marie Claire UK back in 2018, he mentioned that when it comes to Julie, there was a sense of maturity about her. This was because she had gone through some hardships, similar to what he had experienced. To him, she didn’t seem like a young girl, but rather a strong and mature woman.

Not long after their chance encounter at work, Paul invited Julie out to lunch. A couple of years down the line, they got married in 2003. Subsequently, they became parents to Jack in 2006, and Darby joined the family in 2010. Despite his successful career as a comedian and actor, it’s the life he has built with his loved ones that Paul values the most.

In an interview with People in 2021, he expressed that when he ponders his identity, he sees himself as a husband and a father. He shared that when he isn’t working, he enjoys spending time with his family, which brings him the greatest joy.

Familiarizing yourself with Eva Longoria’s romantic history is significant since she portrays herself in the latest season of “Only Murders”. Alongside Eugene Levy and Zach Galifianakis, they collectively embody the film characters Mabel, Charles, and Oliver.

Previously wed to Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004 and Tony Parker from 2007 to 2011, Eva eventually found her lifelong partner in José “Pepe” Bastón, whom she married in 2016. The star of “The Young and Restless”, who now has a son named Santiago with the producer, has expressed that the wait was worthwhile.

In 2016, she shared that she had learned to find happiness alone, preparing her for the relationship she has with Pepe.

Of course, Eva’s other true love is her son.  

In 2024, she shared her fondest moments with TopMob News: lounging in bed and drifting off to sleep in Santiago’s company. ‘I simply adore these instances,’ she said, ‘because it’s when my heart softens, and I cherish the times he prefers to be by my side.’

The main star of “Schitt’s Creek” found love in a simple tale. He encountered his wife Deborah Divine, who is the mother of their children Sarah Levy and Dan Levy, back in the 1970s. They eventually got married in 1977.

Instead of being in front of the camera like her family members, Deborah has chosen a role behind the scenes, working as both a producer and screenwriter for numerous projects throughout her career.

However, the actor from “American Pie” asserts that without her presence, neither his family nor he would have reached their current position in life.

During my Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in March 2024, I expressed my gratitude by saying, “Without a steadfast companion like Deb for 47 years, my name wouldn’t have been etched on this star on Hollywood Boulevard. The star you see here today is as much yours as it is mine.

In the fourth season of “Only Murders,” Zach completes the roster of Hollywood characters by portraying Oliver’s famous doppelganger. Known for his role in “The Hangover,” this actor has been wed to Canadian entrepreneur Quinn Lundberg since 2012.

In unison, the pair are blessed with a son named Rufus Emmanuel Lundberg, whom they greeted into their family in 2016, as TopMob News reported at that time. Additionally, they have another son who joined their family in 2013.

On his 2014 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Zach expressed that fatherhood was an absolutely fantastic experience for him. He emphasized that it truly, genuinely was.

In a similar vein as Kimber, Ashley had the unique opportunity to observe the developing on-screen romance between Oliver (Martin) and Loretta (Meryl) from close quarters. However, unlike them, her own romantic tale unfolded behind the scenes of a different production.

Without a doubt, I am currently in a relationship with my “Emily in Paris” costar, Paul Forman. To be honest, we made our relationship official following months of speculation, which I shared publicly for the first time in an emotional Instagram post on January 2024, during a challenging health situation.

Ashley expressed that during our ordeal – ambulances, multiple foreign hospitals, ICU for a week, frightening ERs, numerous scans, tests, injections, intense pain, and overwhelming confusion – while we were miles away from familiar faces, you eased my worries and stayed by my side. Your love, Ashley, is beyond words.

In response, Paul—also portraying Ashley’s romantic partner in the Netflix show—sent a red heart emoji saying, “My affection for you.

In the fourth season, the character portrayed by Jane Lynch named Sazz takes center stage, while Charles, Mabel, and Oliver endeavor to uncover the identity of her killer.

Behind the scenes though, Jane’s life is a lot sweeter with wife Jennifer Cheyne, whom she married in 2021. And despite their happily ever after, it wasn’t exactly a fairytale proposal.  

In 2022, Jane told Today about an incident from the past. She explained, “Jennifer and I have been a couple for a long time. While we were shopping for insurance, I suggested, ‘Why don’t we just get married?’ This was our romantic moment.

To clarify, just Jane, Jennifer, and a minister were present during the ceremony which took place in a courthouse’s courtyard for the wedding.

As Jane recalled, “It was lovely.” 

Previously, Jane married Lara Embry in 2010, before separating three years later. 

It appears that Jesse might have wrapped up his work on “Only Murders,” yet his romance with Ciarra Pardo, whom he began dating in 2022, remains intact and thriving.

In a more casual and readable form: The pair usually prefer a low-profile lifestyle, but they occasionally post updates, such as Ciarra (a fashion industry professional and founder of N4XT Experiences) posting a group selfie with them during her birthday celebration in April 2024.

She captioned the post, which included a snap of her cuddling into Jesse’s shoulder, “Italian BDay Archives.” 

Prior to starting a relationship with Ciarra, Jesse was previously married to Aryn Drake-Lee in the year 2012. Their union resulted in two children, Sadie born in 2013 and Maceo in 2015. The couple initiated divorce proceedings in 2017, which was finalized in 2020.

After their split, he was also linked to actresses Minka Kelly and Taylour Paige.
