Only third wheel in the building.
Steve Martin poked fun at the rumors that his βOnly Murders in the Buildingβ co-stars Martin Short and Meryl Streep are dating on Instagram Saturday.
The actor, 79, posted a photo of the trio from a Glamour article, with a giant red X over Martinβs face.
Martin did not add a caption to his post, letting the picture speak for itself.
In the comments section, fans speculated that Martinβs post means Short, 74, and Streep, 75, are indeed dating.
βAre you confirming this relationship?!β wrote podcast host Ryan Bailey.
βdid he just hard launch the relationship,β another fan asked.
βIf Ms Streep and Martin Short are an item and this is the announcement I will be over the moon,β someone else said.
A fourth fan wrote, βWhile Meryl and Martin claim theyβre just friends, Steve rats them out.β
Three days before Martin shared his post, Short and Streep enjoyed a dinner date together in Santa Monica, Calif.
The pair were all smiles arriving at celeb hotspot Giorgio Baldi. Streep walked close to Short wearing a white and blue shirt and navy blue pants, while the comedian had on a gray suit.
They later drove off together Streepβs white sedan.
Short and Streep, whose βOnly Murdersβ characters struck up a romance during the Hulu showβs third season, first sparked dating rumors in real life after getting cozy at theΒ 2024 Golden GlobesΒ in January.
At the time, Shortβs rep shut down the rumors. He told E News, βThey are justΒ very goodΒ friends. Nothing more.β
Short himself insisted that he and the βMamma Mia!β actress were merely βfriendsβ during an August interview withΒ The Hollywood Reporter.
However, the rumors were reignited when the duo held hands at the βOnly Murdersβ Season 4 premiere in Los Angeles on Aug. 23
Short then gushed over working with Streep in an interview with ExtraΒ a few days later.
βItβs been a friendship that always grows,β he said. βIf you work with someone and love that person.β
Short is a widower, having been married to Canadian actress Nancy Dolman β with whom he had three kids, Katherine, 40, Oliver, 37, and Henry, 34 β from 1980 until her death from cancer in 2010.Β
Streep, meanwhile, was married to Don Gummer, with whom she has four children. Last year, news broke that Streep and Gummer, 77, had been quietly βseparated for more than six years.β
