Meryl Streep turns 76: his “official love story” with Martin Short and the anniversary of my Africa

40 years have just passed since the release of My Africabut it is not the only reason why Meryl Streep is celebrating. The actress, in fact, turns 76 and is in love with actor Martin Short, with whom he reads in Only Murders in the Building. Last year, when he received the honorary golden palm at the Cannes Film Festival as recognition for his career, he did not hesitate to talk about the film that today celebrates his four decades. “At the fifth recovery I was more than in love,” he said, commenting on the iconic scene in which Robert Redford washes her hair.

Instead, it was less explicit when it was to comment on his love story with Martin Short. Recently, it was the photo of a passionate kiss in the middle of the filming of the series With Selena Gomez to officially confirm the love story. However, it was Jennifer Lopez who gave further confirmation on his Instagram profile. The two had witnessed Broadway’s theatrical show together Oh, Mary! And, by publishing a photo that portrays them in pose with the crew, the same Jlo wrote “Meryl & Marty” (and then add, as if that were not enough, the hashtag #romanceoffial).

The two have long participated in various events and previews together, therefore they do not hide their love. In fiction they play Loretta Durkin and Oliver Putnam, two lovers whose love has ended up crossing the screen. «Meryl could not help in love with Martin. He is a gentleman, he makes her laugh and is a very positive person. I love to be with him, “they told various sources a Page Six.

The actress had four children from the sculptor Don Gummer. For his part, Short was married to Nancy Dolmandisappeared 15 years ago for ovar cancer. Together they had three children. The sources ensure that street and shorts are enthusiastic about this relationship that has caught them by surprise, and that their children support.

«Sometimes women are confused and think that if they are more beautiful, they will be more loved. They think that appearing better will make them more desirable. The idea that beauty gives them a sense in the world is wrong, “said the actress to Sydney Morning Heraldadding to be grateful for finding a partner in Gummer always willing to take care of the children. This helped her not to feel guilty for having dedicated himself completely to work.

«When I was little, I remember seeing my mother ask my father for money to buy our shoes. I thought: “Why should he ask him if they are married?”. My father worked away from home, while my mother, an artist in an advertising agency, worked from home and earned less. But it seemed unfair to me to have to ask for everything. As I swore to myself that I never had to ask a man’s money“, he said. And it certainly kept the floor.
