Martin Short and Meryl Streep’s most recent appearance sparked romance rumors.

On Wednesday, the cast of Only Murders in the Building was photographed dining with pals at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.

Meryl dressed casually in a hot pink button-down shirt, a red jacket, and black jeans, while Martin wore a gray sweater and black blazer.

After appearing to be close at the Golden Globes last month, Streep and Short have continued to deny any romantic relationship.

The 73-year-old actor told People that the twosome “are just very good friends, nothing more.”

He expressed a similar perspective in an interview with Bill Maher on his Club Random podcast, adding, “We’re not a couple, we’re just very close friends.”

Martin was formerly married to actress Nancy Dolman for 30 years, until her death from ovarian cancer in 2010. They have three children together: Katherine Elizabeth, 40, Oliver Patrick, 37, and Henry Hayter, 34.

Meanwhile, in October 2023, the Devil Wears Prada diva separated from her spouse Don Grummer after 45 years of marriage.
