Their friendship, evidently growing stronger with each collaborative project, seems to be the talk of the town these days.


Meryl Streep, an Academy Award winner, delighted spectators of Only Murders in the Building by joining the cast alongside Selena Gomez and Martin Short. In this series, Streep took on the role of Loretta Durkin, who became Oliver Putnam’s love interest, portrayed by Martin Short. To the surprise of many, Streep and Short quickly gained popularity online as the season’s most adored couple.

Lately, everyone’s attention was focused on the two renowned actors, as they were spotted walking hand-in-hand at the glamorous premiere event for Only Murders in the Building Season 4.

A lot of viewers found themselves chuckling and making guesses as they perceived Steve Martin being the odd one out in the situation. Yet, insiders informed Page Six that these two celebrities are merely good friends, and their camaraderie was plain to see within the gathering as well.

However, one source told the outlet that the chemistry was something more than friendship. But the duo weren’t exactly attached at the hip the entire evening and left separately. 

In a recent conversation, the 74-year-old individual shared his deep appreciation for Meryl Streep, who is also 75 years old. He described their bond as a friendship that has been reinforced and grown more robust through their shared professional endeavors.

Short expressed his viewpoint that as one works with someone while harboring affection for them, their friendship tends to grow stronger with time. He playfully hinted that he preferred not to disclose many details about the development of their on-screen romantic connection, given their off-screen camaraderie.

It’s not the first time we’ve heard whispers about the relationship between Short and Streep. Their friendly encounter at the Golden Globes in December 2023 ignited speculation of a secret romance. However, both celebrities have dismissed these rumors, with Short’s representative confirming they are simply close friends. On multiple occasions, Short has been seen with Meryl Streep.
