Meryl Streep and Martin Short Have ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Date Night at Tom Hanks’ New Play

Meryl Streep and Martin Short are supportive friends.

The Only Murders in the Building co-stars were on hand at the Tuesday, November 18, opening night performance of Off-Broadway’s This World of Tomorrow, starring pal Tom Hanks.

Also in attendance at The Shed in New York City to see the play, co-written by Hanks, were fellow Only Murders star Steve Martin and his wife, Anne Stringfield, Katie Holmes and Chris Lowell, according to People. Hanks’ wife, Rita Wilson, and their son, Chet Hanks, were also in attendance.

In photos taken backstage, the three OMITB stars can be seen chatting with Hanks, who stars in the play opposite Tony Award-winning actress Kelli O’Hara.

Though Streep, 76, and Short, 75, have denied dating rumors for months, the two are often seen out and about together ever since the actress joined OMITB to play Loretta Durkin, Oliver Putnam’s (played by Short) love interest.

During an appearance on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, Short cleared the air by addressing the rumors. “We’re not a couple,” he said. “We are just very close friends.”

However, a source told Page Six in March that they’ve actually been dating for “well over a year now.”

In September, a source exclusively told the National Enquirer that the Devil Wears Prada star is “having a great time with Marty,” but that “she wears the pants” in their relationship.

“Marty is loving it,” a separate insider told the Enquirer. “Far from being some old-fashioned alpha male, he leans right into Meryl’s independence. He’s not threatened by her money and her success — he thinks it’s sexy.”

Hanks’ new show plays an eight-week limited engagement at The Shed in New York City through December 21.
