There’s only platonic love in this building.
Meryl Streep and Martin Short were photographed leaving dinner together Wednesday night after denying speculation that they are dating.
The “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars enjoyed a meal with a group of friends at trendy restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, Calif.
Rumors have been swirling for weeks that Streep, 74, and Short, 73, are an item.
However, the “Saturday Night Live” alum shut down the chatter during an episode of the “Club Random with Bill Maher” podcast last month.
“We’re not a couple. We are just very close friends,” he insisted.

Even their “OMITB” co-star Jackie Hoffman recently told that she does not believe the two are dating.
“I’ve seen platonic chemistry, but I didn’t think for one second,” she shared. “I think they’re both such good actors that everyone believed it because they wanted to believe it.”
Hoffman added with a laugh, “He’s always ‘on,’ and I can’t picture her tolerating it!”
Streep and Short first sparked romance speculation after looking friendly at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards.
