Martin Short & Meryl Streep Fuel Romance Rumors Holding Hands at OMITB Season 4 Premiere
Only seatmates in the building.
Meryl Streep and Martin Short will seemingly be quite close to one another at the 2024 Emmy Awards on Sept. 15, according to behind-the-scenes footage of the seating chart reportedly released by ABC, the network airing the awards show.
According to a Sept. 13 post on X (formerly Twitter), there’s “confirmation via talent seating cards” that the Only Murders in the Building stars will be “sitting next to each other” at the event.
If true, their prominence to one another on television’s biggest night will further fuel rumors that the actors are dating, despite Short’s rep shooting down speculation back in January.
“They are just very good friends,” his rep told E! News at the time. “Nothing more.”
And, though Short himself insisted to The Hollywood Reporter that he and Streep were merely “friends” in an interview published Aug. 22, their turning up to the after-party for the Hulu series’ season four premiere that night hand-in-hand did little to quell the chatter. (The Father of the Bride actor and the Mamma Mia! actress also playfully posed together alongside Only Murders costars Selena Gomez and Steve Martin.)
