AceShowbiz - Rumors of a romance between Meryl Streep and Martin Short, co-stars on "Only Murders in the Building", intensify as fans speculate about their off-screen chemistry. "Only Murders in the Building" co-creator John Hoffman has praised the dynamic between Streep and Short, describing them as having "magic" together.

During the filming of season 3, Streep was moved to tears after a romantic scene with Short, according to Hoffman. She expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to play a romantic role "at this age" with such talented co-stars.

Streep and Short have sparked dating rumors after several public outings, including dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. Steve Martin, their "Only Murders" co-star, added to the speculation by posting a photo of the trio on Instagram with a red circle with a line through his own face.

Although Short and Streep have denied rumors of a romantic relationship, they have been open about their close friendship. Short has been widowed since 2010, while Streep and her husband, Don Gummer, announced their separation in 2023.

Fans remain convinced that there is more to Streep and Short's relationship than meets the eye, particularly as their characters in "Only Murders in the Building" develop a romantic connection. The speculation continues as the show airs its fourth season, where Streep and Short's characters are set to get married.
