Meryl Streep and Martin Short, co-stars in 'Only Murders in the Building,' continue to fuel dating rumors despite repeatedly asserting they are just close friends. The pair were seen sitting together and interacting warmly at the 2024 Emmys, following months of similar public appearances, including holding hands at the show's season 4 premiere afterparty. Both Streep and Short have consistently denied any romantic involvement, with representatives and Short himself reaffirming their platonic relationship. Streep, recently separated from her husband of 45 years, and Short, a widower since 2010, have been noted for their on-screen chemistry, which has sparked continuous fan speculation. The duo's Emmys appearance added to the intrigue, but they maintain their stance of being just friends.
