They're taking their Only Murders character's romance into real life!
Page Six have reported that Meryl Streep and Martin Short are dating and have been for "well over a year".
The pair have been working together since Meryl joined the cast of Only Murders In The Building as Loretta Durkin, which stars Martin as Oliver Putnam, during the show’s third and fourth seasons.
Since early 2024, rumours have been circulating about a romance between two, but they consistently insisted that they were just friends.
A source told the publication that the romance was “completely unexpected” and “took them by surprise” since the couple "were not looking for a relationship" when they first got together.
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”.

The match has apparently received the stamp of approval from their friends, family, and children as well, with the source saying they all "absolutely approve of their relationship and think they're adorable together".
Meryl was previous married to sculptor Don Gummer from 1978 until their separation in 2017. Martin 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.
