Meryl Streep and Martin Short HOLD HANDS at Only Murders In The Building event... after he insisted they are 'just friends'

As a long-time fan of Meryl Streep and Martin Short, I was absolutely thrilled to witness their heartwarming display of friendship at the Only Murders in the Building premiere! The sight of these two legendary actors holding hands on the green carpet was just the cherry on top of an already exciting evening.


At the premiere of Only Murders in the Building on Thursday night, Meryl Streep and Martin Short caught some people off-guard with their appearances.

Streep, 75, and Short, 74, were seen holding hands on the green carpet. 

This comes after Short insisted that he and the Oscar-winning Hollywood icon were ‘just friends.’ 

The pair were at the season four premiere of their show which was held on the Paramount Studios lot in Los Angeles.

Also with them were co-stars Selena Gomez and Steve Martin.

In my expertise as a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d like to share an intriguing narrative from the world of entertainment. As I step into the shoes of these characters, let me tell you about Loretta Durkin and Oliver Putnam – two individuals who found love on a stage. It was in the third season that their paths crossed, as she joined the cast of the musical he was producing.

Deadline also shared a video of the two holding hands.

And fans reacted quickly.

A fan enthusiastically expressed, “It’s wonderful living in a time when 75-year-old Meryl Streep and her 74-year-old partner, Martin Short, are starting their relationship gently.”

‘Pls let them be real,’ begged another.

‘I love them together,’ said a fan. 

A spokesperson for Short asserted that no romantic relationship existed between them, following their joint appearance at the Golden Globes.

‘They are just very good friends, nothing more,’ the rep said at the time. 

They fueled curiosity when they playfully interacted on the red carpet before the movie premiere, linking arms and striking humorous poses.

Since the passing of his wife, Nancy Dolman, due to ovarian cancer in 2010, Smart has been a single father to three grown children: Katherine (age 40), Oliver (age 38), and Henry (age 35).

Streep was married to artist Don Gummer for nearly 40 years, but the couple quietly split in 2017.

They share four children, Henry, 44, Mamie, 41, Grace, 38, and Louisa Jacobson, 33.

Fans of Meryl Streep are buzzing with anticipation over the potential release of a third Mamma Mia movie, following hints dropped by Christine Baranski during her latest interview.

In a recent chat with The Hollywood Reporter, I found myself in London, sharing a drink at our preferred spot with Judy Craymer. It turned out she was brainstorming ideas for Mamma Mia 3! She shared with me the outline of the storyline that’s taking shape for this upcoming sequel.

‘We’ll all be on some fabulous Greek or Croatian island having a blast… I hope.’ 

It was verified that Craymer, known for her work as a writer and producer on Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, has been involved with the project.

In May, she shared with Deadline that ‘There’s a tale to be continued, and I strongly feel Meryl Streep should reprise her role — if the script is suitable, I believe she would, given her fondness for portraying Donna. I don’t want to exaggerate, but I sense there’s a trilogy in the making.’

Only Murders in the Building season four will debut on Hulu August 27.
