Meryl Streep and Martin Short, beloved co-stars from the hit series “Only Murders in the Building,” may be taking their onscreen chemistry offscreen as rumors swirl about a possible wedding. An insider has reported, “Friends are whispering the next step will be a wedding!” The acting duo, who were first linked romantically in January 2024, appear to be enjoying a blossoming romance filled with laughter and joy.
At 76, Streep has opened up about her personal life, revealing that she has been separated from her husband, Don Gummer, for over six years. Meanwhile, Short, 75, has endured the loss of his wife, Nancy Dolman, who passed away from ovarian cancer in 2010. The two actors are no strangers to love and loss, making their newfound connection especially poignant.
A source close to the pair shared insights on their relationship, noting, “It’s obvious Meryl is madly in love. Martin is quick, intelligent, and, of course, funny. He makes her laugh. A sense of humor can be very attractive.” Their chemistry was on full display during a cozy night out in New York City at Off-Broadway’s “This World of Tomorrow,” where they seemed to radiate happiness together.
This potential romance offers a heartwarming glimpse into how love can emerge even in the later stages of life. As the insider expressed, “Neither one of them probably ever imagined they’d find love again at this stage of their lives. They seem like two teens in high school. It’s sweet.” Fans of both Streep and Short can only hope that this relationship blossoms into something beautiful, allowing them both to find their happily ever after.
