Their Only Murders characters, Oliver Putnam (Short) and Loretta Durkin (Streep), also fall in love onscreen, which only fuelled the rumors. Short’s rep quickly dismissed the speculation, telling People that they “are just very good friends, nothing more.” Later that month, Short addressed the dating rumors on Bill Maher’s podcast Club Random. “We’re not a couple,” he said. “We are just very close friends.”The co-stars got fans talking again after the Only Murders in the Building Season 4 premiere on Aug. 22, where they were photographed holding hands on the red carpet. While Streep and Short also accompanied co-stars Steve Martin and Selena Gomez for photos, they also took several snaps on their own. While Short has shut down rumors of a romance with Streep, he confessed to People in May that he’s a big fan of the Oscar winner. “She’s fabulous,” he gushed. “There’s no one who doesn’t adore her.”The actor also shared how Streep landed her Only Murders role, revealing that she asked to be cast in the hit drama. “The story with Meryl is she phoned me and said, ‘I want to be on it,’” Short continued. “They already planned that I would have a theatrical experience and there would be a love interest ... She didn’t know about [the love story].”
