A Complete Timeline of Meryl Streep and Martin Short's Relationship
Only Murders in the Building co-stars Meryl Streep and Martin Short have been friends for years. But in 2024, things took a romantic twist, a source told Page Six in March 2025. The actors had been dating for 'well over a year,' as of March 13, 2025. The couple has never officially confirmed their relationship. Short even clarified that he and Streep are genuinely just pals, shutting down dating rumors at one point. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Short was married to his late wife, actress Nancy Dolman, for 30 years before she passed away in 2010 from ovarian cancer. Streep married sculptor Don Gummer in September 1978, and they were together for 40 years before they separated in 2018. Short and Streep have spent decades professionally at the top of their industry—and have spent the past nine years being friends in the spotlight. Ahead, a timeline of the actors' history, including all the recent moments that led to the dating rumors. Streep supported Short on Broadway. The stars posed backstage at It's Only a Play at the Jacobs Theater on Feb. 3, 2015. Short joined the cast on January 7 that year to play James Wicker. Short and Streep sat next to each other at the AFI's 45th Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute to Diane Keaton on June 17. Streep, Short, and Steve Martin partied together on February 9. Specifically, they attended the opening night after-party for the Broadway debut of Pictures From Home, and documented it with a photo. Short and Streep co-starred in the hit series Only Murders in the Building, where they played on-screen lovers. Viewers loved their chemistry in the show, leading fans to believe that maybe their relationship wasn't only fictional. In an interview with The Wrap, the series' showrunner, John Hoffman, shared that Streep was particularly grateful to have an on-screen romance with Short. 'It's pretty unexpected to imagine a pairing of Meryl Streep with Martin Short and watch them find this incredible connection together and, as Meryl said, to not have it be twee or about the age or about any of that,' he said. 'It's just a beautiful romance that you buy, I think because of who these two characters are. But then you see Marty step up in ways that are incredible and nobody works harder at it, comes in with more intelligence to the work and then to watch him have these scenes that break your heart and have to be played with such dramatic poignancy, riding the line of keeping it comedic, keeping it mysterious…I'm amazed.' Short spoke on the Club Random with Bill Maher podcast and cleared up any confusion on where he stands with Streep. 'We're not a couple. We are just very close friends,' he said. Streep and Short attended the AFI Awards together, where OMITB won TV Program of the Year, and some adorable photos of them sitting together were captured. Fellow co-stars Selena Gomez and Steve Martin were also at the award ceremony, and the cast reunited on the red carpet. Streep and Short were seated next to each other at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards, and the internet loved to see the two laughing together and having fun. However, a rep for Short quickly confirmed with People that they 'are just very good friends, nothing more.' In some photos obtained by People on Wednesday, Streep and Short were spotted getting dinner together at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica with a group of friends. Streep and Short spent a Saturday night at the theater. The friends attended a Broadway production of Merrily We Roll Along. Corey Mach, who plays Tyler in the show, tweeted, 'today is the day my beautiful MERRILY cast has been waiting for for almost two years… MERYL IS HERE (with Martin!) 😭 #MeryllyWeRollAlong.' today is the day my beautiful MERRILY cast has been waiting for for almost two years… MERYL IS HERE (with Martin!) 😭#MeryllyWeRollAlong — corey mach (@coreymach) March 17, 2024 An Instagram user shared a photo of Streep and Short sitting together at the show, and chatting happily.

Krystal Joy Brown, who stars as Gussie in Merrily We Roll Along, commemorated the moment with a Reel featuring photos and video of both Short and Streep after the show. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ✨K R Y S T A L✨ (@krystaljoybrown) In an exclusive interview with People, Short revealed how Streep being cast on OMITB came to be, and how playing his character's love interest was purely 'coincidental.' 'The story with Meryl is she phoned me and said, 'I want to be on it,'' he recalled. 'They already planned that I would have a theatrical experience and there would be a love interest,' the actor added. 'So that was coincidental, but she just wanted to be on the show. She didn't know about [the love story].' Short also explained how he feels about the public's constant intrigue regarding his friendship with Streep. 'It's always interesting. Show business relationships and spec,' he said. He clarified, however, that he doesn't feel uncomfortable about all the interest. 'She's fabulous. There's no one who doesn't adore her,' he shared of his co-star. Short also recalled what it was like to first have Streep join the cast and admitted that he found himself a bit nervous before shooting with her: 'I remember driving to work and thought, 'Gee, this is odd. I'm a little bit [nervous]. Oh, of course! I'm going to do a two-person scene with Meryl.' At the Los Angeles premier of OMITB's fourth season, the duo reignited romance rumors by walking down the carpet hand-in-hand. Deadline shared a video of Streep and Short on X (formerly Twitter).

Martin then clarified that Streep 'is friends with all of' them. 'I've worked with her,' the comedian said as Short nodded. 'I did a movie with her very fortunately … and if I don't see her for two years [and] get back together, you're already laughing and talking. It's friendly.' An insider present at the OMITB premiere told Page Six that Streep and Short's relationship 'has gotta be more than a 'showmance.' There is definitely something there.' As to what led the source to believe this, they added that Short 'was attentive' when they were together. 'They walked in holding hands, and were in great spirits, laughing. It was very sweet and cute,' the source added. A representative for Streep, however, shut down any rumors. 'They are just friends,' the rep told Page Six.

But they have a lot of support behind them: '[Their] friends and family, including their kids, absolutely approve of their relationship and think they're adorable together.'

Terrence Howard Says He Didn't Play Marvin Gaye Because He Refused To Kiss A Man
In the case of Terrence Howard, two things can be true: He is quite a talented actor, and he has an undeniable reputation for saying — and doing — things that range from "problematic" to "flat-out unacceptable." To wit: Terrence recently appeared on the frequently annoying Club Random with Bill Maher podcast, where he revealed to Bill that he turned down an opportunity to portray an iconic musician for a deeply stupid reason. During the interview, Terrence revealed that he was unable to portray legendary singer Smokey Robinson in a biopic because he was already considering playing Marvin Gaye in a biopic to be directed by Lee Daniels. Terrence then claimed that, during a visit to late music producer Quincy Jones's house, he heard a rumor that changed his perspective when it came to taking on the role. 'I was over at Quincy Jones' house and I'm asking Quincy, 'I'm hearing rumors that Marvin was gay,' and I'm like, 'Was he gay?' And Quincy's like, 'Yes.'' It should be noted — not because it matters, but purely for purposes of legal accuracy — that Marvin never publicly came out as queer during his lifetime. There are very few, if any, documented accounts that exist about him having relationships with other men. But Terrence — who once publicly and infamously insisted that 1 times 1 equals 2, which it absolutely does not — says that this bit of hearsay from Quincy was enough to convince him that he "could not" star in the film. 'They would've wanted to do that, and I wouldn't have been able to do that,' he said. When Bill asked, 'You mean you couldn't kiss a guy on screen in a movie?' Terrence responded, 'No. Because I don't fake it. That would fuck me. I would cut my lips off. If I kissed some man, I would cut my lips off.' When Bill pressed Terrence further, he replied, 'I can't play that character 100 percent. I can't surrender myself to a place that I don't understand.' He also took the time to specify his belief that "It does not make me homophobic to not want to kiss a man.'

‘He's a control freak': 12 bandmates who hate each other, from Pink Floyd to Oasis
You don't have to be friends with the people you make music with – but it helps not to be enemies. The annals of music history are filled with instances of bandmates whose relationships turned sour, from Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel to Morrissey and Johnny Marr. In one of modern music's bitterest feuds, former Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and David Gilmour have spent years exchanging vitriolic words in the press. Earlier this year, Polly Samson, ex-Pink Floyd lyricist and wife of David Gilmour, made unsubstantiated allegations against Waters online. Waters wrote on a social media account that he was 'aware of the incendiary and wildly inaccurate comments made about him on Twitter by Polly Samson which he refutes entirely', and said he is 'currently taking advice as to his position'. Of course, plenty of great music has been made by people who were at personal loggerheads – just ask Fleetwood Mac. Sometimes, bandmates even manage to overcome their differences. The Libertines and Guns N' Roses are just two of the outfits to have buried the hatchet and reformed in high spirits. But they're not who we're interested in here. This is a list of the most ill-tempered feuds between bandmates in the history of modern music. See below for the full list… The Beach Boys Cousins Mike Love and Brian Wilson, once bandmates in The Beach Boys, have feuded for decades. Wilson has publicly mocked Love's singing, and described him as 'egotistical'; Love, meanwhile, successfully sued the band for songwriting credits on many of the group's hits. The Everly Brothers Known for their mellifluous two-part harmonies, Don and Phil Everly enjoyed an off-stage relationship that was anything but harmonious. The vehement sibling animosity spilled out onto stage during an infamous 1973 gig that resulted in Phil smashing his guitar and storming off. Hall & Oates In November 2023, it was revealed that Daryl Hall had obtained a temporary restraining order against Hall & Oates bandmate John Oates, having filed a lawsuit. The nature of their dispute is still a mystery at this time, with details of the litigation having been sealed. The duo had performed together as recently as 2022. Speaking to the Club Random with Bill Maher podcast a year before the litigation, Hall said: 'You think John Oates is my partner? … He's my business partner. He's not my creative partner.' The Kinks Brothers Ray and Dave Davies have enjoyed one of music's most celebrated sibling collaborations – and one of its most vicious quarrels. Speaking of their feud, Dave once told an interviewer: 'You've heard of vampires. Well, Ray sucks me dry of ideas, emotions and creativity. He's a control freak.' The band split up in 1996, though the brothers have shown signs of reconciliation in the years since. Kiss Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, two of the original members of Kiss, have long been at loggerheads with Gene Simmons's rock group after first leaving the band in the early 1980s. Simmons and Paul Stanley have spoken negatively of their former bandmates, with Stanley alleging in his 2014 biography that they were antisemitic – claims Frehley subsequently denied. Journey Vocalist Steve Perry left the 'Don't Stop Believin'' rock outfit in 1998, claiming later that he had 'never really felt part of the band'. The group replaced him with soundalike Steve Augeri. Disagreements have continued to surface within Journey, however, with reports suggesting that guitarist Neal Schon and keyboardist Jonathan Cain have quarreled over the musical direction of the band in recent years. Oasis The falling out of Liam and Noel Gallagher remains one of pop music's highest-profile feuds. After the much-loved Britpop band split up in 2009, the Mancunian brothers became estranged, sharing semi-frequent barbs at each other in the press and on social media. Despite this, fans have never given up hope for an unlikely reunion – and it seems more likely now than ever. One Direction Ever since Zayn Malik left One Direction in 2015, fans speculated about the exact nature of the singer's relationship with his bandmates. Appearing on YouTuber Logan Paul's podcast last year, Liam Payne appeared to pour oil on rumours of a feud, claiming that there were 'many reasons why I dislike Zayn'. He later apologised but the shot was already fired. Pink Floyd The statement from Polly Samson is just the latest in a long string of disparaging remarks shared between Pink Floyd's former collaborators. After Waters quit the group in 1985, he unsuccessfully vied to get the band to cease operating under the Pink Floyd name – beginning a cycle of animosity that would last for four decades, and that would endure despite a one-off 2005 reunion. Simon and Garfunkel A double act for the ages, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel helped define the sound of the 1960s with a run of sweet-sounding folk-rock hits. After Simon separated in 1970 to pursue a (rather illustrious) solo career, the feuding pair did reform several times, including for a famous 1981 concert in Central Park. It wasn't all bridges over troubled water, however – their most recent reunion, in 2010, was marred by animosity, as Simon accused Garfunkel of neglecting to inform him of vocal issues. The Smiths Between Johnny Marr's transcendent guitar playing and Morrissey's maudlin crooning, The Smiths were always something of an eclectic mix. Since the band's break-up in 1987, however, Morrissey and Marr have only grown further apart, and have continued to trade angry words in the press. Don't bet on a BST reunion gig any time soon. Yes When Yes singer Jon Anderson suffered health issues in 2008, the prog rock band recruited tribute singer Benoit David to keep the tour going. In retaliation, Anderson started a new group with two other ex-Yes bandmates – Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman. At one point, two versions of the band were touring at once, with one being rather cumbersomely named Yes Featuring Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, Rick Wakeman.
