Meryl Streep & Martin Short Sharing a Kiss on Set Fuels Dating Rumors

Meryl Streep and Martin Short are taking their rumored off-screen romance on-screen. Amid ongoing dating speculations, the actors were spotted sharing a passionate moment on the “Only Murders in the Building” set. The duo, who play husband and wife in the fifth season of the Hulu drama, stayed true to their characters in a video capturing their scene. However, it only reignited romance speculation between the two stars. It was previously reported that the actors have been dating for over a year.

Meryl Streep and Martin Short are fueling dating rumors by displaying their romantic chemistry on screen. On May 7, a video captured the two actors filming for season 5 of Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building.” The scene featured the duo packing on some PDA with a passionate kiss, which was followed by what appeared to be an emotional scene.

Even though the actors were filming a scene, their off-the-charts on-screen partnership was enough to reignite speculation. In the series, Short plays Oliver Putnam while Streep essays the role of his wife, Loretta Durkin. The video captured Streep stopping her partner before emotionally conveying her feelings. She then initiated a kiss, following which the on-screen couple shared a tight embrace. As the camera rolled around them, Streep wiped her tears and walked away after passionately delivering her line. The scene ended with Short running behind her.

In March, Page Six exclusively reported that Meryl Streep and Martin Short have been in a relationship for more than a year. A source told the outlet that their romance was so unexpected that it surprised them both. The insider further shared that Streep “loves being around” her rumored beau and that “he keeps her laughing.” Moreover, the pair’s friends and family reportedly approve of their romance.

As of now, neither of the actors has publicly addressed the rumors.
