In a clip from after the event, the Devil Wears Prada star, 75, and the comedian, 74, were seen hand-in-hand as the pair’s costar Steve Martin followed them. In the hit Hulu show , Streep and Short play love interests, further adding fuel to the romantic speculation.
In response to the footage, fans shared how happy they were to see the potential couple .
“This brought me joy today,” one person penned, while another noted, “That's adorable.”
Despite being supportive of the possible lovebirds, another person pointed out, “When you're older, holding hands doesn't imply any relationship outside of steadying each other so neither one of you fall and break a hip. But if they really are dating , AWESOME!”

Earlier in the night, Streep and Short looked extra comfortable as they took red carpet photos together.
The duo even reached out to hold hands while standing feet away from each other.
The Oscar winner stepped out in a stunning blue and white Stella McCartney gown and accessorized with three thin black belts, kitten heels and a white purse. Meanwhile, Short donned a classic black suit and maroon tie.
The seemingly romantic evening for the pair came after the stars initially sparked dating rumors at the 2024 Golden Globes in January.

As OK! previously reported, the chatter surrounding Streep and Short came after news broke in October that the actress and her husband of 45 years, Don Gummer , had secretly been living separate lives for years.
“Don Gummer and Meryl Streep have been separated for more than six years, and while they will always care for each other , they have chosen lives apart,” a confidante revealed.
