Meryl and Martin currently co-star with Steve Martin on Only Murders in the Building. They’ve been spotted together on and off-set in recent months. According to the New York Post, Martin and Meryl dine together and drive off in the same car, sparking romance rims.

Steve Martin Decided to Stir the Martin Short and Meryl Steep Pot
Steve’s a funny guy, and he posted a picture of himself with Meryl Streep and Martin Short on Instagram. Only this wasn’t a regular snapshot. Instead, Steve put a giant red circle with a line through it right over his face. This made many people speculate that Steve was inferring he was a third wheel when he’s around the other two.
A fan asked, “Did he just hard launch the relationship?”
This person certainly hopes so. They wrote, “I don’t know why the thought of Meryl and Martin makes me so happy but it honestly fills my heart with joy.”
Another fan hoped Martin and Meryl could give a more solid clue, writing, “I love this couple and hope they are in a relationship. They deserve all the happiness in the world. Absolutely love both. A public kiss to confirm would be wonderful tho.”
Steve tricked this fan. “I was about to type “don’t you dare do that to Steve Martin” until I saw this was posted by Steve Martin himself.”
Meryl Streep and Martin Short are both seemingly single. He’s a widow after losing Nancy Dolman, his wife of 30 years, to cancer in 2010. News broke of Meryl’s divorce from Don Gummer in 2023 after the pair reportedly lived apart for more than six years, per the Post. This is getting good.
