Martin Short's recent comments aren’t helping him out amid speculation about his relationship with Meryl Streep.
During an interview with Extra on Monday, the 74-year-old actor couldn't help but express his admiration for his Only Murders in the Building co-star, calling his "love" for her undeniable.
"I think a friendship always grows when you work with someone and love that person," Short said during a sit-down with co-stars Selena Gomez and Steve Martin.
While the Tony winner remained tight-lipped about what happens between their characters, Oliver Putnam and Loretta Durkin, Gomez was quick to call their on-screen bond "so sweet."
Steve Martin, who has worked with Streep before, chimed in to clarify, "Meryl is friends with all of us. I've done a movie with her, and even if I don’t see her for two years, when we reunite, it's like no time has passed."
The buzz surrounding Short and Streep's real-life relationship began in January 2024 when the pair sparked dating rumours. Though a rep for Short told People Magazine that they are "very good friends, nothing more," their recent hand-holding at the Season 4 premiere of the Hulu show has only intensified speculation.
