A video surfaced on social media of Meryl , 75, and Martin, 74, looking extra comfortable with one another as they walked the red carpet.
They didn’t let go of each other’s hand and smiled as their costar, Steve Martin, 79, walked beside them.
Photos from the evening also showed Meryl and Martin seemingly glued at the hip while posing for the cameras.
The Academy Award-winning actress wore a gray, flowy, ankle-length dress with a black belt and white flats.
She completed the look with black-framed eyeglasses and her blond hair flowing straight down.
Martin rocked a black suit, a maroon tie, and black shoes to the event.
Martin has been a widower since his wife, Nancy Dolman, died of ovarian cancer in 2010.
Although it appeared that their longtime friendship possibly turned into something more, Martin’s reps denied the rumors, telling People they are “just very good friends, nothing more.”
The Father of the Bride star also addressed the speculation during an appearance on the Club Random with Bill Maher podcast.
“We’re not a couple. We are just very close friends,” Martin clarified.
However, their working together in OMITB – and being on-screen love interests – wasn’t a coincidence, as Martin previously revealed to People that Meryl called him to ask for her part.
“The story with Meryl is she phoned me and said, ‘I want to be on it,'” Martin told the outlet.
“They already planned that I would have a theatrical experience and there would be a love interest. So that was coincidental, but she just wanted to be on the show. She didn’t know about [the love story].”
