Meryl Streep Discusses Potential Broadway Project With Martin Short

April 20, 2026

Meryl Streep opened up about Martin Short during a conversation on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live, fielding questions about her Broadway prospects.

The 76-year-old actor, who is currently promoting The Devil Wears Prada 2 ahead of its May 1 theatrical release, has a storied history with the stage. She performed on Broadway several times during the 1970s and has continued her involvement with theater work throughout her career.

When asked whether she might return to Broadway, Streep expressed genuine interest in the idea. "Oh, I would love to do so," she said. "I was talking with Marty Short about that. We were thinking that would be fun to do something together."

The pair has generated considerable public attention over the past couple of years, with fans noting their frequent appearances together at high-profile events. Their connection first captured widespread interest at the Golden Globes in January 2024, though neither has publicly confirmed the nature of their relationship. The two have never officially stated whether they are dating or maintain a friendship.

Streep and Short have also shared screen time on the small screen, with their characters tying the knot in a recent season of Only Murders in the Building.
