Steve Martin recently commented on the growing rumors about a potential romance between Meryl Streep and Martin Short. On Instagram, he posted a photo featuring the three of them, but amusingly obscured his face with a red prohibited emoji, hinting at his supposed role as the “third wheel.”
Without a caption, his post stirred much speculation among fans. Many expressed excitement over the idea of Streep and Short being a couple, with one person saying, “I never imagined I’d ship Meryl and Martin, but look at us now!” Another added, “Whether it’s friendship or romance, they seem perfect together.”
Rumors of romance between Streep and Short persist
Speculation about their relationship began earlier this year when they were spotted together at the 2024 Golden Globes. Since then, they have been seen dining together multiple times, leading to further romance rumors. Although their representatives have denied any relationship and labeled them as “just friends,” sightings of them attending Broadway shows together have kept fans curious.
Are they just friends or something deeper?
Sources suggest there may be a deeper bond between Streep and Short, noting that they were seen holding hands at the premiere of their Hulu series. “It’s more than just a showmance,” claimed an insider. “They really enjoy each other’s presence, and it’s apparent.”
Currently, the red emoji covering Martin’s face serves as Steve’s clever way to poke fun at the ongoing rumors, without giving a clear answer. As fans continue to speculate, it’s evident that the chemistry between Streep and Short is strong, both on and off the screen. Regardless of whether they’re merely friends or something more, Steve Martin’s lighthearted take has made the situation even more entertaining.
