Meryl Streep and Martin Short rumoured to have been dating for more than a year
Hollywood legends Meryl Streep and Martin Short have been dating for “well over a year”, according to a new report.
The pair have been working together since Streep joined the cast of Only Murders In The Building, which stars Short, during the show’s third and fourth seasons. They have accompanied each other to various awards shows and events, but the nature of their relationship has never been confirmed.
A report by Page Six claims the actors have been dating for “well over a year now” and a source told the outlet that the romance was “completely unexpected” and “took them by surprise”. However, they also say that “Meryl couldn’t help but fall for Martin. He is a gentleman, he keeps her laughing and is an all around positive person. She loves being around him”.
Streep was previous married to sculptor Don Gummer from 1978 until their separation in 2017. Short was married to comic actor Nancy Dolman from 1980 until her death form ovarian cancer in 2010. They have four and three children respectively from those relationships.
The article’s source states that “friends and family, including their kids, absolutely approve of their relationship and think they’re adorable together”. Regarding marriage, they said: “Meryl is still legally married to Don but even if she were divorced, that’s just not something that she or Martin are interested in”.
Meryl Streep made headlines during the Los Angeles fires when it was reported that she cut a giant hole through her fence to escape the blaze. Her nephew shared at the time: “she borrowed wire cutters from a neighbour, cut a car-size hole in the fence she shared with the neighbours on the other side and drove through their yard to escape”.
