Representative dispels dating speculations, confirming only murders in the building co-stars are ‘just good friends’

The Golden Globes sparked rumors of a possible romance between co-stars Meryl Streep and Martin Short, who both starred in season 3 of Only Murders in the Building. Photos from the star-studded event, showing the actors in apparent camaraderie, fueled speculation about a blossoming relationship.

Social media buzzed with fans expressing excitement at the prospect of Streep and Short becoming a power couple in 2024. However, a representative for Martin Short swiftly addressed the speculations, dispelling any dating rumors. The actor’s spokesperson told E! News, “They are just very good friends, nothing more.”

While fans had hoped for a romantic connection between the two seasoned actors, it seems their camaraderie at the Golden Globes was purely friendly. Streep, who secretly separated from her husband Don Gummer last year, and Short, who has been single since his wife Nancy Dolman’s death in 2010, are confirmed to be close friends, putting an end to the romance speculations.

The clarification comes amid a lively Golden Globes ceremony, with other notable moments, including Jo Koy’s jokes that received mixed reactions, particularly his quip about the Barbie movie and the challenges faced by ‘character actors.’
