Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to YES if Meryl Streep (referred to as "Merle Streep" in the prompt) and Martin Short get legally married at any point between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2026 (11:59 PM PT).

Otherwise, this market will resolve to NO.

Key Rules & Credible Sources:

• Resolution will be based on official statements from the actors' representatives or reports from reputable entertainment news outlets (such as People, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, or TMZ).

• Announcements of an engagement, moving in together, or continued dating rumors without a legal marriage ceremony occurring in 2026 will not suffice for a YES resolution.

• If no credible source confirms a marriage by January 5, 2027, the market will resolve to NO.

Background

Meryl Streep and Martin Short, co-stars on Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, have been the subject of persistent romance rumors. Speculation began during the 2024 awards season and has continued through 2026 with frequent public outings, though their representatives have repeatedly characterized their relationship as a close friendship. Streep separated from her husband of over four decades, Don Gummer, in 2018 (which was publicly revealed in 2023), while Short has been a widower since his wife, Nancy Dolman, passed away in 2010.
