Meryl Streep and Martin Short look cozy on LA dinner date amid ongoing romance rumors

As a lifestyle expert with a rich background in analyzing human dynamics and relationships, I find myself intrigued by the evolving bond between Meryl Streep and Martin Short. Their recent public outings have certainly fueled speculation about their relationship status.

Meryl Streep and Martin Short fueled persistent dating speculation during their evening dinner outing in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

As a devoted admirer, I was thrilled to witness the radiant duo, both Oscar-winning actresses in their 70s and my beloved co-stars from Only Murders In The Building, exuding joy as they dined at Giorgio Baldi recently. Notably, my dear colleague graciously placed a caring hand on the lower part of her back during our delightful meal together.

Meryl exuded elegance in a vibrant bird-patterned blouse of blue and white, complemented by a navy skirt and a pair of white sandals.

Father of the Bride star Short wore a grey pinstripe suit for the festive evening.

The pair were seen getting into the same car with Streep driving her date home.

In the month of October, 2023, it was revealed that Meryl’s fans were taken aback when they discovered that Meryl and her partner Don Gummer, who they thought were still together, had actually parted ways six years prior, in a private manner.

They are parents to Henry, 44, Mamie, 41, Grace, 38, and Louisa, 33.

She joined Only Murders In The Building as a special Guest Star beginning with its third season, and she has continued on with the currently airing fourth season.

The co-stars raised eyebrows as they held hands at an event for the Hulu series on August 24.

Following the event, a source shared with Page Six that their relationship seems to be deeper than just a show relationship. There appears to be something genuine between them.

However, a representative for Streep told the publication: ‘They are just friends.’

Short gushed about his admiration for Streep when asked by Extra about their off-camera friendship.

He clarified that, over time, friendships tend to flourish when you collaborate with someone and genuinely care for them.

Following speculation about their relationship back in January, a representative for the Addams Family actor clarified to People that they are simply close friends, with no romantic involvement.
