The buzz around Meryl Streep and Martin Short's potential romance is definitely gaining momentum. The two were recently seen holding hands at the premiere of the highly-anticipated fourth season of Only Murders in the Building. Meryl, looking stunning as always, joined her co-stars Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and of course, Martin, on the red carpet in Los Angeles. Fans are eagerly awaiting the latest episodes of this hit comedy-murder mystery series, and this event only added to the excitement.
It's no secret that Meryl and Martin have incredible onscreen chemistry, as seen in their previous work together. Meryl played Martin's character Oliver Putnam's love interest in the third season of Only Murders in the Building, and she will be making a return in the new season. But it seems their offscreen chemistry is just as strong. Last year, fans couldn't help but notice the cozy atmosphere between the two at the Golden Globes. This was further fueled by Meryl's representatives confirming her separation from her husband of 45 years, Don Gummer, around the same time.
Naturally, fans couldn't contain their excitement and began speculating about a potential romance between the two stars. However, both Meryl and Martin were quick to shut down the rumors. Martin even went on to clarify on the Club Random with Bill Maher podcast that they are "just very close friends," and Meryl's representatives confirmed to People that they are "just very good friends, nothing more." But the rumors have persisted since the beginning of the year, and fans were hopeful after the recent developments.
At the premiere's after-party, a video captured by US publication Deadline showed Meryl and Martin walking hand in hand, with Steve trailing behind them. This came after earlier red carpet photos of the two sweetly holding each other's hands as they posed together. Fans couldn't contain their excitement, with many taking to social media to express their love for the potential couple.
But is there any truth to these speculations? Are Meryl Streep and Martin Short really dating? Sorry to disappoint, but both have continued to deny any romantic involvement between them. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Martin confirmed that they remain good friends, while Meryl's representatives told Page Six that they are simply friends and not dating. The two have been friends for quite a few years, with photos of them attending Broadway shows dating back to 2015. Their most recent outing was to see Merrily We Roll Along together.
The speculation about their romance started at the Golden Globes, but they have been pictured together on various occasions since then. While their real-life romance may not be true, their onscreen chemistry is undeniable. Only Murders in the Building creator John Hoffman gushed about their pairing in an interview with TheWrap, saying that it was unexpected but a beautiful romance that viewers would buy into because of the characters. He also praised Martin for his hard work and dedication.
In an interview with People, Martin revealed how Meryl landed the role in the show. According to him, Meryl called him and said that she wanted to be a part of it. It was a coincidence that her character had a love interest, but she was just happy to be on the show. She had no idea about the love story when she signed on. The Agency has reached out to both Meryl and Martin's representatives for comment on this ongoing rumor.
Fans can't wait to see more of Meryl and Martin's onscreen chemistry when Only Murders in the Building season four premieres on August 27 on Disney+ in the UK.
