Amy Schumer Sparks Romance Rumors Between Martin Short and Meryl Streep!
Hold onto your popcorn, folks! Amy Schumer has just dropped a spicy tidbit about the rumored romance between Meryl Streep and Martin Short. During a recent interview, she gushed about sitting next to the comedic legend at a concert, hinting that “maybe” he might be off the market, potentially thanks to the one and only Streep. Talk about a Hollywood power couple!
The speculation surrounding their relationship kicked off in late 2023 when theater critic Adam Feldman teased on social media about surprise celebrity couples hiding their romances. Given Streep and Short’s warm camaraderie, fans quickly jumped to conclusions. Their cozy attendance at the 2024 Golden Globes, where they were spotted side by side, only fanned the flames further. However, Short’s rep dashed those hopes, calling them “just very good friends.”
Fast forward to August 2024, and things got even juicier. At a premiere for their Hulu series *Only Murders in the Building*, Streep and Short were seen holding hands, setting social media ablaze with excitement. Short himself said he felt “love” for Streep, celebrating the friendship that blossomed through their work together.
Speaking of *Only Murders in the Building*, let’s not forget that this isn’t the first time Short has admitted to feeling starstruck. He even confessed to being nervous on set with Streep. “It was one of the great thrills of my life,” he shared during a promotional event. And honestly, who wouldn’t be a little jittery sharing the screen with one of our greatest living actors?
Adding fuel to the rumor mill, their co-star Steve Martin recently posted a clickable moment that sparked more gossip. He shared an image of the trio but cleverly crossed out his own face with an emoji. Naturally, fans went wild in the comments, questioning if he was confirming the romance.
Whether they’re truly more than friends or if it’s all just a delightful misunderstanding remains to be seen. But let’s be real—anything involving Meryl Streep is bound to bring a smile. And with Short’s humor and charm, this story is shaping up to be one of the best in Tinseltown.
