Meryl Streep and Martin Short's "worst kept secret" has finally been "confirmed" - "they've been together for more than a year."
RadarOnline.com can reveal details about the newest couple in Hollywood who attempted to keep their romance private.
Meryl Streep and Martin Short were 'surprised' after their relationship turned romantic.
The Only Murders in the Building co-stars were "surprised" after their relationship turned romantic, as it was "completely unexpected" –especially because the two weren't "looking for a relationship when they started dating."
A Page Six insider said: "Meryl couldn’t help but fall for Martin. He is a gentleman, he keeps her laughing and is an all-around positive person. She loves being around him."
Luckily, for the new couple, their "friends and family, including their kids, absolutely approve of their relationship and think they’re adorable together."
Besides both being Hollywood icons, the two have also bonded over the loss of their exes.
Before Streep was married to her now ex-husband Don Gummer, who she split with in 2017 after 40 years of marriage, she dated actor John Cazale.
The Devil Wears Prada actress cared for him until he died from lung cancer in March 1978.
As for Martin, he was married to his wife, Nancy Dolman, for three decades before she died in 2010 after her battle with ovarian cancer.
Despite being happy in their new romance, the two aren't rushing down the aisle just yet.
Despite being happy in their new romance, the two aren't rushing down the aisle – just yet.
The site's source said: "Meryl is still legally married to Don but even if she were divorced, that’s just not something that she or Martin are interested in. They’re happy dating as boyfriend and girlfriend."
"They’ve been friends for years and have several mutual friends."
Even though the couple tried to keep their romance private, fans of their hit Hulu show started to suspect they were dating after they were spotted holding hands multiple times last year.
One person asked on X: "Ooooohhhh…are they together-together?"
"I love this for them so much," said another on the platform.
"They’re holding hands! It’s true," a third wrote.
More recently, the two were stopped out together at the same events twice in the same night.
