On-Screen Chemistry Sparks Off-Screen Speculation
There's something undeniably magical about Hollywood romances, and the latest buzz is all about Meryl Streep and Martin Short. The two powerhouse actors, who play love interests in Hulu's Only Murders in the Building, turned heads when they were caught holding hands at the Season 4 premiere on August 24 in Hollywood. Let's face it, folks, those hand-holding moments weren’t just for show. They were practically screaming romance in the most subtle way possible.
At 74, Martin Short was all smiles and charm as he opened up about his on-screen partner at the event. "I think it's been a friendship that always grows if you work with someone and truly admire them," he said, his admiration for Meryl shining through every word. But let’s be honest here, there’s more to this story than just friendship.
Rumors of Late-Life Love Brewing
For months, whispers of a possible romance between Meryl, 75, and Martin have been swirling. Despite a rep for the Oscar-winning actress insisting they’re “just friends,” sources close to the duo tell a different story. An insider exclusively confided in Closer that the pair are indeed an item, and their public display of affection at the premiere was their way of hinting at something deeper.

“They knew exactly what they were doing by coming out on stage holding hands,” the insider revealed. “It was their way of subtly letting everyone know that their relationship is more than just a friendship. They’re falling in love, and they’re not afraid to show it.”
A Journey Through Life and Love
Both Meryl and Martin have walked the path of long-term relationships. Martin lost his beloved wife of 30 years to cancer back in 2010, while Meryl revealed in 2023 that she and her husband of four decades had been separated for six years. Despite their personal challenges, they’ve remained close friends, and now, it seems, something more has blossomed.
“They’re so comfortable and natural together,” the insider added. “No one expected this, not even them, but there’s just something special that sparked between them when they worked together. It’s like destiny brought them together.”
No Stopping This Late-Life Love Story
With their children all grown up—Meryl has four, and Martin has three—there’s nothing holding them back from exploring this new chapter in their lives. “Everyone is thrilled for them,” the insider continued. “It’s such a joy to see them smiling and happy. They’re a perfect match, and they deserve all the happiness in the world.”
As the world watches, it’s clear that Meryl Streep and Martin Short are not just stealing hearts on-screen but possibly in real life too. Whether they’re ready to make it official or not, one thing’s for sure: their chemistry is undeniable, and their story is one we can’t wait to see unfold.
