Despite the ongoing rumors, representatives for Short and Streep have not provided any official statements regarding their relationship status. Short previously addressed the speculation during an episode of the “Club Random with Bill Maher” podcast, asserting that they are simply “very close friends.” In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Short reiterated that he and Streep share a platonic friendship.

The pair has been spotted together on multiple occasions over the past several months, further fueling speculation about their bond. Most notably, they were photographed attending the Broadway show “Merrily We Roll Along” at the Hudson Theatre in New York City in March. Additionally, they were seen leaving Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica, California, after a dinner with friends.

Streep's marital status came into the spotlight in October 2023 when it was revealed that she had quietly separated from her husband, Don Gummer, six years prior after four decades of marriage. Meanwhile, Short was previously married to Nancy Dolman for 30 years until her passing in 2010.
