Comedian Steve Martin has sparked a flurry of speculation online with a cryptic Instagram post that some believe hints at a relationship between Martin Short and Meryl Streep.
Martin shared a photo with Short and Streep, crossing out his own face. Fans interpreted this as Martin “coming out” their relationship, but it’s more likely just a joke.
Short and Streep have been romantically linked since they co-starred in “Only Murders in the Building,” but Short has stated they are just friends.
Despite Short’s denial, the online chatter continues, with some claiming Martin’s post confirms the rumors. However, it’s important to note that Martin has not directly addressed the speculation.
Sources close to Martin have reached out to clarify his intentions, but it remains unclear whether the post was meant as a joke or a serious revelation.
While anything is possible in the world of celebrity dating, it seems unlikely that Martin would publicly announce the relationship of two friends without their consent.
