Steve Martin seemingly confirms Martin Short and Meryl Streep’s romance

NEW YORK – Rumors that Martin Short and Meryl Streep are in a romance may have just been confirmed by none other than “Only Murders in the Building” co-star Steve Martin.

The beloved comedian, 79, kicked off the weekend with an Instagram post that only added fuel to the fire about Short and Streep’s suspected relationship.

Martin shared a screenshot of a Glamor article on Friday about the relationship rumors timeline, which begins with an image of the trio posing with Streep in the middle. Martin edited the photo to cover his face with the banned emoji.

Fans flocked to the comments, asking if Martin indeed confirmed the relationship. “Glad Steve got to be the one to confirm it,” one user wrote.

Streep, 75, and Short, 74, who play love interests Loretta and Oliver on the Hulu series, have been at the center of relationship speculation since January.

At the time, their co-star Selena Gomez made headlines for whispering to best friend Taylor Swift at the Golden Globes. Gomez eventually revealed that she told the superstar about “two of my friends who had hooked up” — which many thought was a reference to Streep and Short.

In late January, Short addressed the rumors, saying they were “not a couple” but “very good friends.”

However, in late August, the stars were spotted holding hands at the Season 4 premiere of “Only Murders in the Building.”

Last October, a rep for Streep revealed that the Oscar winner and Don Gummer, her husband of 45 years, had been “separated for more than six years.”
