Meryl Streep and Martin Short Spotted Holding Hands Amid Dating Rumors

As a seasoned observer of Hollywood’s intricate dance of love and fame, I must say the rumors surrounding Meryl Streep and Martin Short have certainly piqued my interest. Their on-screen chemistry in Only Murders in the Building is undeniable, and their off-screen camaraderie seems to suggest a bond that goes beyond friendship.


Only sweethearts in the building?

At an after-party for season four of their show “Only Murders in the Building” on X (formerly Twitter), Meryl Streep and Martin Short, who star together, were seen strolling hand-in-hand, fueling romance speculation despite earlier denials that they are romantically involved. A video posted by Deadline captured this moment on August 22nd.

In January, there were rumors that the actor from “Mamma Mia” might have been romantically involved with the actor from “Father of the Bride”. However, his representative clarified to TopMob News that while they are indeed close friends, their relationship is strictly platonic.

Just hours prior to the premiere event, Short once more dismissed rumors about their relationship status, confirming to The Hollywood Reporter in an interview on August 22nd that they are indeed close friends, not romantically involved.

At the Los Angeles premiere, the costars were seen laughing it up with Selena Gomez and Steven Martin, even striking poses for a few solo snapshots.

The buzz about a potential romantic relationship between them peaked on social media at the 2024 Golden Globes, with many viewers speculating and pointing out signs suggesting they were not just work associates.

Back then, it was known that Meryl Streep was single, as a representative for the actress confirmed in late 2023 that she and her estranged husband Don Gummer had been apart for six years. Their children include Henry Wolfe (44), Mamie Gummer (41), Grace Gummer (38), and Louisa Jacobson (33). On the other hand, Short was a widower since his wife, Nancy Dolman, passed away in 2010 due to cancer. Before her death, they adopted three children – Katherine Elizabeth (40), Oliver Patrick (38), and Henry Hayter (35).

In reality, they dismissed any romantic involvement, but their characters developed a romantic plotline in season 3 of OMITB.

In an interview with TheWrap in August 2023, John Hoffman expressed that it’s quite surprising to envision a partnership between Meryl Streep and Martin Short, but as Meryl herself put it, it’s crucial that this partnership avoids being overly sentimental or focusing on age-related themes.
