Is this just friendship, or are we witnessing the slowest of slow burns? Because honestly, I’m exhausted from trying to decode every glance, laugh, and adorable red carpet moment between Meryl Streep and Martin Short.
And let’s be real—who had these two icons becoming 2024’s most unexpected (and most analyzed) duo on their bingo card? Not me. Yet, here we are, fully invested.
Between their off-the-charts chemistry on Only Murders in the Building and their lowkey flirty friendship IRL, it’s like they’re begging us to ship them. And sure, they’ve shut down romance rumors, but since when has that stopped us from reading way too much into everything?
So, are they our collective delulu OTP? Maybe. Are they “just friends”? Also, maybe. And honestly, either way, they’re giving us everything we need.
Because if there’s one thing Meryl and Martin have taught us, it’s that deep friendships deserve just as much love and appreciation as romantic relationships. So whether you’re looking for relationship goals or bestie goals, here’s what we can learn from these two living legends.
These two aren’t just Hollywood royalty—they’re walking masterclasses in how to build lasting connections. Here’s how they do it:
If there’s one thing Martin Short will do, it’s crack a joke. And if there’s one thing Meryl will do, it’s laugh at them like he’s the funniest man alive.
Humor isn’t just about making someone laugh—it’s about feeling seen in the most ridiculous way possible. When someone just gets your sense of humor? That’s soulmate energy, romantic or not.
Whether it’s Broadway, an award show, or a random Tuesday, Meryl and Martin show up for each other and with each other.
Because real friendships (and relationships) aren’t just about being there for the hard times—they’re about hyping up your person loudly and proudly every chance you get.
These two are booked and busy, but they always make time to support one another.
A simple “how are you?” goes a long way in making someone feel valued. Relationships thrive on those little moments of effort, whether it’s a text, a call, or just showing up.
Meryl has built a career (and a whole life) around embracing what makes her unique, and Martin is the same way.
The best relationships—romantic or platonic—let you be fully yourself while still feeling supported. Because what’s the point of having people in your life if they don’t hype you up to be your best self?
Fun fact: When Meryl joined Only Murders in the Building, she specifically asked to work with Martin.
Friendships (and relationships) work best when they’re organic. No forcing, no overthinking—just growing together through shared experiences.
Martin is always by Meryl’s side—whether it’s an event, an interview, or a dinner date.
When people know they can count on you no matter what, that’s when relationships really deepen. And loyalty isn’t about big gestures—it’s about the quiet, consistent ones.
There’s something special about having a person who just knows you. The way you think, the things that make you laugh, the way you take your coffee.
Meryl and Martin have that kind of bond, and honestly, that’s what we should all be looking for.
Martin has called Meryl one of the most inspiring people he’s ever worked with, and Meryl equally fangirls over Martin’s talent.
If your bestie (or partner) isn’t your biggest hype person, what are they even doing??
People love to speculate about them, but Meryl and Martin? They don’t let it faze them. They set boundaries, laugh it off, and keep it moving.
A major life lesson: Don’t let outside noise mess with the connections that actually matter.
Whether they’re just best friends or something more, Meryl and Martin seem fully content just being together. No definitions, no pressure, just vibes.
And honestly? That’s the dream.
At the end of the day, Meryl and Martin prove that love isn’t just about romance. It’s about connection. It’s about showing up. It’s about choosing each other—whether as friends, partners, or something in between.
And that? That’s a love story worth celebrating.
Hollywood (and life in general) makes us think that romantic love is the ultimate goal, but Meryl and Martin are out here reminding us that friendship is just as valuable.
So whether they’re besties, soulmates, or something in between, one thing’s for sure—we need more connections like theirs. The kind that lasts. The kind that thrives. The kind that doesn’t need a label to be real.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be here, manifesting this kind of friendship into my own life.
