Meryl Streep<\/strong><\/a> and Martin Short<\/strong><\/a> enjoyed a meal out together in London recently.<\/p>\n

In a fan photo shared via X<\/a> on Sunday, May 17, the Only Murders in the Building<\/em><\/a> costars were seen seated side-by-side inside a restaurant. As Short and Streep, both 76, focused their attention on a phone screen, the actress rested her shoulder on the actor’s chest.<\/p>\n

“Spending a few days in London, choosing a restaurant at random and ending up eating just a few meters from Meryl Streep and her husband,” the fan’s caption read, mistakenly taking Short to be Streep’s husband. (Streep is currently single following her 2023 split from Don Gummer<\/strong>, and Short remains single since the the death of his wife Nancy Dolman<\/strong> in 2010.)<\/p>\n

Us Weekly<\/em> has reached out to representatives for Streep and Short for comment.<\/p>\n

The sighting comes amid reports that the Netflix series is currently filming its sixth season in London, marking the show’s first filming location outside of the U.S.. In recent days, Short and Streep’s costar Steve Martin<\/strong> posted multiple Instagram<\/a> photos of himself exploring local sites including Trafalgar Square and a gift store selling beanies inscribed with “London.”<\/p>\n

Streep and Short first sparked dating rumors in January 2024 after they attended the Golden Globes together. However, a rep at the time denied that their friendship had turned romantic. “They are just very good friends, nothing more,” a statement obtained by People<\/em> read.<\/p>\n

Rumors refused to die down, however, as Short spoke fondly about his costar during several interviews and Amy Schumer<\/strong> even stated that she believed Short was “off the market” after seeing him with Streep during Saturday Night Live<\/em><\/a>‘s 50th anniversary celebrations. “I think that the tea is, I think Marty might be off the market. That’s what I’m seeing,” Schumer, 44, told People<\/em> in February 2025.<\/p>\n

The pair have also shown a string of PDA while promoting OMITB, <\/em>including hand-holding.<\/p>\n

Short revealed during a June 2025 appearance on the “Conan O’Brien<\/strong> Needs a Friend” podcast that he had been nervous to work with Streep on OMITB<\/em>. “I remember the first day working with Meryl and driving to the studio and thinking, \u2018I’m nervous today,'” he said at the time. “I [hadn’t] been nervous going to the set for a long time.” (Streep first appeared on the show as Loretta Durkin in season 3.)<\/p>\n

“The first scene we shot in Only Murders<\/em> was a scene where we’re at the piano and we’re, kind of, flirting a little bit,” Short went on. “The first shot set up is over her to me, so pressure’s on me and then we break down so that they can reverse the cameras and do her side. We go into [the] holding area and she just says, \u2018OK, nerves to half.’ I go, \u2018Wait a second, I was nervous. You can’t be nervous.'”<\/p>\n

Five months later, Streep and Short attended<\/a> the opening night of Tom Hanks<\/strong>‘ play This World of Tomorrow<\/em>, posing for a backstage photo with Martin, 80, Martin’s wife, Anne Stringfield<\/strong>, Hanks, 69, Hanks’ wife Rita Wilson<\/strong>, and Chet Hanks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Streep and Short have also proven to be repeat customers at Los Angeles’ Giorgio Baldi restaurant in recent months, with the pair spotted leaving the star-studded eatery together on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n
