Meryl Streep and her onscreen husband Martin Short continued to fuel romance rumors by attending the opening of off-Broadway play This World of Tomorrow, which was held at The Shed’s Griffin Theater in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards neighborhood on Tuesday night.
The coy couple were supporting their famous friend Tom Hanks, who co-wrote and stars in the time-traveling drama, which runs through December 21.
The 75-year-old Canadian comedian and the 76-year-old acting legend beamed while chatting up the 69-year-old Oscar winner alongside Only Murders in the Building creator-star Steve Martin.
Hanks previously co-starred in The Post with Streep, who then attended the cast-and-crew afterparty where attendees indulged in hot dogs, ice cream and sliders – according to Vogue.
The three-time Oscar winner and Short – whose favorite date spot is Giorgio Baldi – were not looking for a relationship when they allegedly began dating in early 2024.
‘Meryl couldn’t help but fall for Martin. He is a gentleman, he keeps her laughing and is an all-around positive person. She loves being around him,’ an insider told Page Six on March 13.

‘Their friends and family, including their kids, absolutely approve of their relationship and think they’re adorable together.’
Streep is still technically married to sculptor Don Gummer, whom she legally separated from in 2017 after 45 years of marriage and welcoming four children.
The three-time Emmy winner previously dated actor John Cazale, whom she cared for until he died from lung cancer in 1978.
And the SCTV/SNL alum has been single since tragically losing his wife Nancy Dolman, at age 58, in 2010 to ovarian cancer after 30 years of marriage and welcoming three adopted children.
‘Meryl and Martin have bonded over the loss of their spouses,’ the source added.
But Short denied the rumor on Bill Maher’s podcast Club Random in January 2024: ‘We’re not a couple. We are just very close friends.’
Seven months later, Streep’s rep denied the rumor in Page Six: ‘They are just friends.’
But the seven-time Grammy nominee and the Tony-winning thespian spent Valentine’s Day together this year sitting side by side at the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert.
Two days later, Amy Schumer teased to People: ‘I think that the tea is, I think Marty might be off the market. That’s what I’m seeing. I don’t know. Maybe by just like the greatest actor of our time, I don’t know.’
Short and Steep were side-by-side yet again on March 9 as they posed with the cast and crew of Broadway play Oh, Mary! backstage at the Lyceum Theatre.
