Meryl Streep and Martin Short were spotted enjoying a delightful dinner out with friends at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California. The ‘Only Murders in the Building’ co-stars seemed to be having a great time, with lots of laughter and smiles throughout the evening.
Martin Short, 73, and Meryl Streep, 74, were captured leaving the Italian hot-spot in high spirits. Streep was dressed in black pants, a hot pink button-down, and a red jacket, while Short sported a gray sweater and black blazer.
Speculation about a possible romance between the two began to circulate after they were seen appearing close at the Golden Globes in January. However, Short’s representative swiftly dismissed the rumors, clarifying that they are ‘just very good friends, nothing more.’ Short himself addressed the gossip on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, emphasizing that they are not a couple, but very close friends.
Short, who was previously married to actress Nancy Dolman, and Streep, who separated from her husband Don Gummer after 45 years of marriage, have both been navigating their personal lives in the public eye.
Despite the ongoing rumors, it’s evident that the bond between Martin Short and Meryl Streep is rooted in a deep and enduring friendship, as they continue to enjoy each other’s company both on and off the screen.
