Meryl Streep did not attend the 2025 Emmy Awards with Martin Short, but he may have kept in touch with her throughout the night. Short, 75, sat with his Only Murders in the Building costars Steve Martin and Selena Gomez and Gomez's fiancé, Benny Blanco, at the awards show, which took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 14. A video from the night circulating via X seemingly showed Gomez, 33, looking over at Short, who appeared to be looking down at his phone and smiling. Gomez then leaned over to Blanco, 37, to tell him that Short appeared to be texting Streep, 76.
