Meryl Streep and Martin Short’s romance rumors are heating up.
The “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars were all smiles while arriving at the celebrity favorite Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, Calif., on Wednesday.
Streep, 75, walked shortly in front of Short, 74, wearing a blue and white blouse paired with navy blue pants and creme-colored flats.
Despite the speculation, a rep for Short insisted they were “nothing more” than friends, per People.
Later that month, the “Saturday Night Live” alum doubled down on the rumors, telling Bill Maher on his “Club Random” podcast that they are “very close friends.”
Most recently, the actress and the “Santa Clause 3” star were seen holding hands at the Season 4 premiere of their Hulu show, also starring Selena Gomez and Steve Martin.
Insiders told Page Six Streep and Short remained close while inside the theater and their “close friendship” was widely noticeable as they stayed by each other’s side the entire night.
“They walked in holding hands, and were in great spirits, laughing. It was very sweet and cute,” we’re told. “It’s gotta be more than a ‘showmance.’ There is definitely something there.”
