Hollywood actress Meryl Streep was recently spotted on a date with her colleague, the renowned Canadian actor. The 74-year-old Martin Short, with whom she stars in the series “Only Murders in the Building,” was the companion in question. As reported by Page Six, the duo was seen together on October 16 at an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica, California. For the outing, the 75-year-old Streep opted for a blue-and-white blouse paired with dark trousers, while Short donned a gray suit.

The pair enjoyed dinner at the restaurant before leaving together in Streep’s car. Meryl was at the wheel, while Martin settled into the passenger seat. They were all smiles, engaged in pleasant conversation, and appeared quite happy in each other’s company.

Rumors of a romantic involvement between the actors began circulating in early 2024 when they attended the Golden Globe Awards together. Although they maintain that they are “just very close friends” and do not confirm any romantic relationship, the gossip continues to swirl. Moreover, Streep and Short seem to fan the flames, frequently spotted together and sometimes even holding hands.

Notably, Martin Short is officially single. Meanwhile, Meryl Streep announced her divorce from her husband in the fall of 2023 after 45 years of marriage.
