LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Steve Martin sent fans into a frenzy as he appeared to poke fun at ongoing romance rumors involving his 'Only Murders in the Building' co-stars, Martin Short and Meryl Streep in an Instagram post on Friday, October 18.
Streep, 75, and Short, 74, who play on-screen love interests on the Hulu show, were first romantically linked earlier this year when they were photographed looking cozy at the 2024 Golden Globes.
The rumors gained renewed attention after they were spotted on their way into the Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California, on Wednesday.

In the playful post, Steve Martin reposted a photo from Glamour magazine that featured the three of them posing together, but he humorously added a crossed-out red circle over his own face.
The photo appears to have been taken during an outing in February 2023 when the trio attended a play together.
The cheeky post quickly caught the attention of social media users, with many interpreting it as Martin's way of addressing the romance rumors surrounding his co-stars.
Despite the flurry of speculation, both Short and Streep have firmly denied the rumors.
Back in August, after Streep and Short were seen holding hands on the 'Only Murders in the Building' Season 4 red carpet, a representative for 'The Devil Wears Prada' actress shut down the rumors, insisting they were "just friends."
Streep's separation from her husband of 45 years, Don Gummer, was confirmed in October 2023, a couple of months after she made her debut in the third season of the Hulu show. As per reports, they had been living separate lives for almost six years.
