Some users speculated that this was Steve's way of teasing or even confirming a romantic relationship between Short and Streep, causing the internet to go into a frenzy. However, it's clear that Martin was simply having fun, likely poking at the rumor mill rather than giving any serious announcement.
Despite the humor, plenty of people online believed it was a "hard launch" of the pair's relationship. Still, there's no solid evidence to support this, and Martin’s post seems more like a joke than anything else. We’ve reached out for clarification, but it’s safe to assume Steve isn’t making any big reveals about his co-stars.
The rumors started when Meryl and Martin played love interests on the hit show Only Murders in the Building, and photos of them spending time together off-screen added fuel to the fire. However, Short has previously stated that the two are just friends, which is common for celebrities in such situations.
While anything could happen on the romance front, it seems unlikely that Steve Martin is dropping hints about his friends’ personal lives.
