Actor Martin Short shuts down rumor of dating actress Meryl Streep

Actor and comedian, Martin Short has dispelled the rumor of dating actress, Meryl Streep. 

Short’s rep told TMZ that Martin and Meryl are not dating and are just very good friends. This follows the two stars hobnobbing at the Golden Globes this weekend, where they were seen hanging out together quite a bit and looking a little cozy in photos.

Meryl recently came aboard as the newest big star on Marty’s hit show “Only Murders in the Building” and that’s how they’re recently connected in showbiz. They’ve however been friendly for years now. Fact is, they are some of the biggest stars in the game.

Meryl announced late last year that she and her longtime husband, Don Gummer, had been separated for years now, noting they were no longer romantically involved.

Martin was famously married to the love of his life, Nancy Dolman, for years before she tragically died of ovarian cancer in 2010.
