Meryl Streep and Martin Short certainly have a lot of chemistry together. Whether the two of them are starring in the Hulu Series Only Murders in the Building or sitting together at an awards show, the two legendary performers did spark romance speculation when they were seated next to each other at the 2024 Golden Globes in January 2024. One year later, they were seen sitting together again at the SNL50 anniversary special in February 2025.
Find out whether or not Meryl and Martin are in a relationship below.
In March 2025, Page Six reported that Meryl and Martin were, in fact, dating and had been in a relationship for more than a year.
“Meryl couldn’t help but fall for Martin,” the insider told the outlet. “He is a gentleman, he keeps her laughing and is an all-around positive person. She loves being around him.”
The source also added that Meryl and Martin had been together for “well over a year.”
In February of that year, the two were seen sitting next to each other at Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary celebration.
During the 81st Golden Globes, a few people shared their reactions to Martin and Meryl’s on-screen moments, and they shared their thoughts that they were dating. Of course, now, it’s been disproved. “Are Meryl Streep and Martin Short dating… because if that’s true… that’s like Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner multiplied by Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft…” one person wrote on X. Another user compiled their moments and wrote, “The way they look at each other.”
