More Than Just Co-Stars
Oscar winner Meryl Streep and Tony Award-winning comedian Martin Short have shared a remarkable friendship for nearly a decade—one marked by industry events, Broadway outings, and even an onscreen romance.
Their bond first caught attention in 2015 when Streep attended It’s Only a Play to support Short’s Broadway run. Over the years, they’ve frequently been spotted together at award shows, dinner gatherings, and on stage. In 2023, their friendship took a new turn when Streep joined Only Murders in the Building as Loretta Durkin, Short’s onscreen love interest. Despite his Hollywood experience, Short admitted feeling starstruck working with Streep.
“It was one of the great thrills of my life,” Short shared at a 2024 For Your Consideration event.
Their easy chemistry sparked romance rumors, which Short promptly dismissed, emphasizing their close but platonic connection.
A Timeline of Their Friendship
- 2015: Streep supports Short’s Broadway performance in It’s Only a Play.
- 2017: They sit together at the AFI Gala honoring Diane Keaton.
- 2023: They reunite for Broadway’s Pictures From Home and Streep joins OMITB as Short’s love interest.
- 2024: The duo’s interactions at the Golden Globes and AFI Awards fuel dating speculation, which Short denies. They later attend Merrily We Roll Along and OMITB's season 4 premiere hand-in-hand.
- 2025: They celebrate their friendship at the SNL 50 Homecoming Concert, laughing and dancing together.
An Enduring Bond
Despite speculation, Streep and Short continue to prove that some friendships are simply built on admiration, humor, and years of genuine connection.
