The outing between Streep and Short took place amid speculation that the actors are romantically involved, despite continued refusal on their parts. In January, a rep for Shortconfirmed to PEOPLE that they are “just very good friends, nothing more.” (The denial came following news that Streep and her husband of 45 years, Don Gummer,had been separated for six years.)
Short later said of his relationship with Streep:“We’re not a couple, we are just very close friends,“on an episode ofClub Random with Bill Maher.
