It’s [not] complicated.
Meryl Streep and Martin Short’s romance was proven to be still going strong after they were photographed together on a dinner date in London.
A fan took to X over the weekend to share that she had been seated near the actors in a restaurant.
“Spending a few days in London, picking a restaurant at random, and ending up eating just a few meters away from Meryl Streep and her husband ❤️,” the fan tweeted alongside a photo of the “Devil Wears Prada” actress and Short leaning in close to one another. (Streep and Short are not married.)
In the snap, the “Only Murders in the Building” actor and Streep were seated on the same side of their dining table and appeared to be looking at the actress’ cell phone.
When the fan was asked if she attempted to get a selfie with the actors, she replied, “No. They were having a great time. Full of laughs and tender gestures.
“No desire to impose myself in the middle of that,” the netizen claimed.
Streep and Short, both 76, first sparked dating rumors in October 2024 when they were spotted looking cozy while sitting together at the 2024 Golden Globes.
However, a rep for the “Father of the Bride” actor denied the gossip, telling People that they were “just very good friends, nothing more.”
In January 2024, Short doubled down on his claims that he and Streep were platonic during an appearance on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast.
“We’re not a couple. We are just very close friends,” he claimed at the time.
However, the following month, the “It’s Complicated” actress and Short were spotted catching dinner together at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.
That August, they held hands on the red carpet at the Season 4 premiere of “Only Murders in the Building.”
A source exclusively told Page Six that the actors “seemed together” during the premiere.
In October 2023, we revealed that Streep secretly split from her husband, Don Gummer, six years prior. They were married for 40 years and welcomed son Henry, 46, and daughters Mamie, 42, Grace, 40, and Louisa, 34.
Short was previously married to Nancy Dolman for three decades until she died in 2010. They welcomed three children via adoption: sons Oliver, 40, Henry, 36, and daughter Katherine, who sadly died in February by an apparent suicide. She was 42.
