Meryl Streep and Martin Short Spark Romance Rumors After Dinner in LA
Meryl Streep and Martin Short, the co-stars of Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building,” were seen together at a cozy dinner at Giorgio Baldi, a popular Italian restaurant in Santa Monica.
Their outing on Wednesday night has fueled ongoing rumours of a potential romantic relationship between the two.
Streep, 75, and Short, 74, have been seen together frequently, leading to speculation about their off-screen connection.
Streep was dressed in a blue and white blouse with navy pants and creme-colored flats, while Short kept it casual in a gray suit paired with black sneakers.
After their dinner, the two left the restaurant together, with Streep behind the wheel of her white sedan and Short riding in the passenger seat.
The duo first sparked dating rumours earlier this year when they were seen sitting closely at the 2024 Golden Globes, where their chemistry drew attention.
Despite their frequent public appearances, both stars have denied any romantic involvement, with Short maintaining that they are “very close friends.” However, their continued outings have only added fuel to the speculation.
Close Friendship or Something More?
While Streep and Short have both denied any romantic involvement, insiders continue to suggest there may be more than meets the eye.
The pair have been spotted attending Broadway shows and enjoying dinners alone, leading many to believe that their relationship has deepened since co-starring in “Only Murders in the Building.”
Fans and media have pointed out how the two often appear affectionate, with their chemistry extending beyond their on-screen characters.
At the Season 4 premiere of their Hulu show in August, they were seen holding hands and laughing, sparking further speculation about their bond.
A Shared History of Long Marriages
Both stars have experienced long marriages. Streep was married to sculptor Don Gummer for 40 years before quietly splitting six years ago, while Short was married to Nancy Dolman for 30 years before she passed away in 2010.
Their shared history of strong relationships could be a reason for their connection, as they have supported each other both professionally and personally.
