Initially, Streep, 75, and Short posed for photos, but their public interaction soon became more intimate. The pair were seen hugging and holding hands, remaining by each other’s side throughout the event. Their visible affection has fueled speculation about a possible romantic relationship, as reported by The Sun.
The Hollywood icons first met on the set of “Only Murders in the Building,” where Meryl Streep played a role, and Martin Short was involved in its production. While the two have been friends for many years, rumors of a romance only began circulating this past winter.
This speculation comes after Meryl Streep’s recent divorce from her husband, sculptor Don Gummer, in October 2023, after 45 years of marriage. The former couple shares four children and five grandchildren.
