Meryl Streep and Martin Short’s Hot On-Set Kiss Sparks Romance Rumors!

It looks like there’s only love in season five of Only Murders in the Building.

It was revealed that Meryl Streep and Martin Short, who portray Loretta Durkin and Oliver Putnam on the Hulu show, were caught locking lips during filming in New York City on May 7.

In the given scenario, the supporting actors adopted a detective-like persona by draping themselves in trench coats. Meryl, specifically, sported a beige jacket over a white blouse and blue denims, further emphasizing the detective ambiance with a gray hat.

At the same time, Martin wore a reddish-brown trench coat, accompanied by a navy blue vest and pants of the same shade.

Despite his representative’s claim that Meryl and Martin, both aged 75, were merely close friends and not involved romantically following reports of their offscreen romance in January 2024 (as stated to TopMob News), the duo have sparked speculation among fans about a real-life relationship in recent months.

Last August, the individual who won an Oscar was seen walking hand-in-hand with Martin at a post-premiere event for the fourth season of “Only Murders in the Building” held in Los Angeles.

Approximately half a year had passed, and Meryl made an appearance alongside the comedian at the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert. During this event, she playfully gave the camera the finger when it focused on her and Martin seated together in the audience.

 

Even fellow comics couldn’t help but to weigh in on the romance rumors.

Amy Schumer shared with People magazine in February that there’s no one funnier to sit next to than Martin Short, and she added, “I believe Martin might be off the market. It seems that way, although I’m not certain.

Regardless, Martin only has praise for his costar, who he calls “the greatest actress of them all.”

In an interview with TopMob News in September, he shared that on the first day of filming with her, he felt a sense of apprehension. Despite his experience in show business, he admitted to himself, “I am nervous today. Why? Oh yeah, I’m working with Meryl.

Regarding her romance with record producer and fiancé Benny Blanco, Selena openly acknowledges that she finds it hard to resist touching him often. Given that they’ve been quite open about their relationship on social media ever since they confirmed it last year, it seems only natural for them to express their affection frequently.

In a December 2023 Instagram post, I expressed my deep feelings by saying, “To a fan of Benny, I shared that he holds an irreplaceable place in my heart.

Initially, Selena disclosed that they had been a couple for six months, while Benny shared insights later about how their bond evolved from friendship to something romantic over time.

He shared with the Wall Street Journal in April 2024 that he was unaware of his growing feelings for Selena. It’s astonishing how a partner could be so close yet remain undetected, right under one’s nose. Then, it hits you like a bolt out of the blue – the ‘Ah-ha!’ moment when you realize, ‘Oh my goodness, I’m falling in love.’

While some fans of the former cast members of “Wizards of Waverly Place” look back at Selena’s past relationships with Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, whom she dated intermittently until 2018 and in 2017 respectively, Selena makes it clear that Benny is not just another repeat love interest for her.

In a conversation with Zane Lowe in February 2024, she expressed that overall, she feels the safest she has ever felt. She went on to say that the experience has been wonderful and she has grown immensely from it, making it fantastic.

Without a doubt, it’s been fantastic! To make things even more exciting, Benny popped the question to Selena in December 2024, marking one year since they started dating. She announced their engagement on Instagram with a series of pictures showing off her marquise-cut diamond ring, captioned “Forever starts here…

Steve’s character Charles might not experience much success in love, but comedian Steve is thriving well. Indeed, the actor from “Cheaper by the Dozen” has been contentedly married to 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 telephone. At that time, Steve was penning comedy blurbs for the same publication. In an interview with AARP in 2017, he revealed that him and his spouse spoke over the phone for a full year before they actually met each other in person.

Initially, Steve labeled Anne as “shy” during their first encounter. However, their romance unexpectedly blossomed fiercely, leading to a surprising wedding where even the attendees were unaware of the event—a guest list that included Lorne Michaels, creator of Saturday Night Live, as well as Eugene Levy, Tom Hanks, and Diane Keaton.

Steve was wedded to his former spouse, Victoria Tennant, from 1986 to 1994. However, it wasn’t until 2012 that he became a father for the first time, with Anna being the mother of their child named Mary.

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

He expressed that if he had become a father sooner, he might not have been a good one due to his focus on his career over family matters. He mentioned, “She’s providing me with so much more than I am giving her.

Before he starred in “Only Murders”, Martin first encountered his one true love, Nancy Dolman, on the set of “Godspell” in 1972. This pair, who have children named Katherine, Oliver, and Henry, were married from 1980 until Nancy lost her life after a prolonged struggle with cancer in 2010.

Even though there’s been buzz lately about Martin being romantically linked with his costar and dear friend Meryl Streep, I must confess that my heart still beats for the enchanting Nancy. You see, I’ve always cherished our frequent interactions, as if we share a secret language only understood between kindred spirits.

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

Even after the unexpected passing of his wife, Martin realized what truly matters most to him in life.

In his words to AARP, “Every day for me is a hands-on lesson, seasoned with an outer layer of ‘Strive to be as content as possible.’

Currently, Meryl seems to be bringing joy to Martin, as they were spotted holding hands at their “Only Murders” season 4 premiere. However, it’s possible they were acting out their roles, as sources close to Meryl (from the Santa Clause film) told TopMob News in January 2024 that they are merely “very good friends.

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

Before speculations of a romantic relationship with her co-star from the series “Only Murders,” Meryl Streep had been married to her former husband, Don Gummer, for almost four decades. The pair, who have adult children named Henry, Mamie, Grace, and Louisa, parted ways in 2017, although they maintained their separation privately until 2023.

Back in 2023, I learned from a trusted source close to Meryl Streep, the phenomenal star of “Mamma Mia!”, that Don Gummer and she have been on separate paths for over six years. Despite this change, their hearts will forever be intertwined, but they’ve decided to pursue separate lives.

1. Their final joint outing as a pair was at the 2018 Academy Awards. Moreover, the multiple-award winner couldn’t hide her admiration for her then-spouse during an early Oscars event in 2012.

In her Best Actress acceptance speech for her role in “The Iron Lady”, she expressed gratitude towards Don first. She did this because when she thanks her partner at the end of the speech, they play them out with music, and she wanted to make sure he understood that everything she treasures most in their lives, he had given her.

Despite no longer living in the Arconia, Paul’s portrayal of Ben Glenroy in “Only Murders” will forever be etched into its lore, and his personal life, much like his role in “Ant-Man,” continues to garner attention.

It wasn’t until the late ’90s that Paul encountered his wife, Julie Yaeger, who is a screenwriter and producer. Remarkably, she was the very first individual Paul came across in New York. Their chance encounter took place in a publicist’s office, following Paul’s successful role in Clueless. Could it get any more adorable?

In a conversation with Marie Claire UK back in 2018, he mentioned that when it comes to Julie, there was an air of maturity about her – she had gone through some significant hardships, as had he. His words were, “She’s not just a girl; she’s a woman.

Not long after their chance encounter at work, Paul treated Julie to lunch. A few short years passed, and in 2003, they decided to marry. Their union resulted in a son named Jack in 2006, who was later joined by his younger sister Darby in 2010. While Paul has achieved considerable success as a comedian and actor, it’s the life he’s built with his family that brings him the greatest joy.

In an interview with People in 2021, he shared, “When I reflect on myself, I see myself as a husband and father first and foremost. Outside of work, I prefer to spend time with my family. This is what brings me the greatest joy.

Understanding Eva Longoria’s personal relationships is quite relevant now, as she portrays herself in the latest season of “Only Murders”. Together with Eugene Levy and Zach Galifiankis, they form the on-screen characters Mabel, Charles, and Oliver.

Eva was previously wedded to Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004, and Tony Parker from 2007 to 2011. However, she 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 mastered the art of being self-satisfied, expressing it as a necessary step towards her relationship with Pepe.

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

In bed, drifting off to sleep – these are the moments I cherish most about Santiago,” she shared with TopMob News in 2024. “It melts my heart. My favorite thing is simply being able to spend time with him.

The main character from Schitt’s Creek had a straightforward love story. He encountered his spouse Deborah Divine, who is the mother of his children Sarah Levy and Dan Levy, during the 1970s. After some time, they got married in the year 1977.

As a devotee to the world of filmmaking, I’ve chosen a role that keeps me out of the limelight, much like my dear family members do not. Over the years, I’ve taken up the mantle as producer and screenwriter on numerous projects, working diligently behind the camera.

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

During his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in March 2024, the actor shared, “I couldn’t have my name added to a star on Hollywood Boulevard without someone supporting me all these years. For 47 years, Deb has stood by my side, and I wouldn’t have this star today without her.

Zach completes the roster of Hollywood characters in season four’s “Only Murders” by portraying Oliver’s famous doppelgänger. Known for his role in “The Hangover”, he has been married to Canadian businesswoman Quinn Lundberg since 2012.

In unison, this pair is blessed with two sons – Rufus Emmanuel Lundberg, who joined them in 2016, and their earlier-born child from 2013. TopMob News reported the news exclusively back then.

In a 2014 episode of The Tonight Show, Zach shared, “I truly believe fatherhood is absolutely wonderful.” He emphasized, “It’s truly amazing.

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

Without a doubt, Ashley is presently in a relationship with her co-star from Emily in Paris, Paul Forman. It was confirmed publicly in January 2024, following months of speculation, through an emotional Instagram post she shared during a challenging health situation.

Through ambulance rides, multiple foreign hospitals, a week in the ICU, terrifying ER visits, countless scans, tests, and injections, unbearable pain, and immense bewilderment – all while we were miles away from home on the other side of the world – you eased my fears and stayed by my side, Paul. I love you more than words can express.” – Ashley

In response to Paul, who portrays Ashley’s romantic interest in the Netflix show, a red heart emoji was used, expressing his feelings as “My love.

In the fourth season, Jane Lynch’s character Sazz takes center stage, with Charles, Mabel, and Oliver investigating to uncover the identity of her killer.

In my world, my life has an added touch of sweetness, thanks to my wife Jennifer Cheyne, whom I was fortunate enough to marry in 2021. Contrary to the idea of a storybook proposal, ours didn’t follow that traditional path.

Jennifer and I have been a couple for quite some time, and while we were out shopping for insurance, I suggested we might as well get married instead, as reported by Jane to Today in 2022. This is an example of a rather romantic proposal scenario.

To clarify, just three individuals – Jane, Jennifer, and a minister – were present for the wedding ceremony held in the courthouse’s courtyard.

As Jane recalled, “It was lovely.” 

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

As a dedicated follower, I want to share that while Jesse may have wrapped up his stint on “Only Murders,” his bond with my beloved Ciarra Pardo, whom I began dating in 2022, remains robust and vibrant.

In a more casual and conversational style: The pair usually prefer a low-key lifestyle, but they’ve given us occasional glimpses into their life, such as Ciarra (a fashion industry professional and founder of N4XT Experiences) posting a selfie with them in her birthday album from April 2024.

She titled the post as “Italian Birthday Memories,” since it featured a cozy shot of her hugging Jesse’s shoulder.

Prior to starting a relationship with Ciarra, Jesse was married to Aryn Drake-Lee in the year 2012. They had two children together – Sadie in 2013 and Maceo in 2015. In 2017, Jesse initiated divorce proceedings, which were finalized in 2020.

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