After their appearance at the “Only Murders in the Building” season 4 premiere in Los Angeles, romance rumors between Meryl Streep and Martin Short have reignited on social media.

They were caught on camera holding hands as they headed to the Hulu series’ afterparty, and the snap has been making the rounds online.

The stars’ new look comes eight months after a representative for Short denied to People that the actors are together. “They’re just really good friends, nothing more,” she said in January amid intense rumors as they were spotted sitting together at the Golden Globes.

The Oscar-winning actress quietly split from her husband Don Gummer after four decades of marriage and four children.

Although separated since 2018, Streep continued to wear her wedding ring until October 2023 when news of their split made headlines.
Short was married to Nancy Dolman from 1980 until her death in 2010 after a battle with ovarian cancer.
