Martin Short and Meryl Streep were seen holding hands at the Season 4 premiere of “Only Murders in the Building” after shutting down romance rumors .
The comedian and the “It’s Complicated” actress — who play love interests in the hit Hulu show — looked to be in good spirits on Thursday while walking alongside co-star Steve Martin at the Paramount lot in Los Angeles, per a video shared by Deadline .
Earlier in the night, the two seemed comfortable while posing for photos together and with their co-stars, including Martin and Selena Gomez, on the red carpet.

At one point, they jokingly stood a few feet from each other and reached out to hold the other’s hand.
Streep, 75, looked chic in a long blue and white patterned Stella McCartney dress with three thin black belts wrapped around her waist. She added white slip-on kitten heels, a white purse, silver hoops and her signature black glasses.
Meanwhile, Short, 74, also kept it classy in a black suit with a white button-down shirt and a maroon tie.

Short reiterated to the Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Thursday that he and Streep are “friends.”
The two have not let rumblings of a romance keep them from hanging out, though, as they have been seen together a handful of times over the last seven months.
