The appearance comes nearly eight months after Short ended speculation about the nature of his relationship with Streep, with whom he appeared particularly close at the 2024 Golden Globes in January.
A rep for Short told PEOPLE at the time that the pair were “just very good friends, nothing more,” and the actor later shot down the claims again on Bill Maher’s podcast, saying the two actors “are not a couple, we’re just very close friends. ”
In May, Short talked about the interest in his relationship with Streep — who PEOPLE confirmed in October that she split from her husband of 45 years, Don Gummer, six years ago: “It’s always interesting. Show business relationships and specifications.”
As for whether he feels weird when asked about it, he replied: “No,” adding: “She’s fantastic. There’s no one who doesn’t adore her.”

Despite denying the romance, Short said he was a little more nervous before filming than he usually is when Mamma Mia! star joined ISOMITB for season 3.
“I remember driving to work and thinking, ‘God, this is weird. I’m a little alone [nervous]. Oh, of course! I’m going to do a double scene with Meryl.’ ”
However, his nerves quickly dissipated. “It’s a very, very, very loose, fun set,” he said. “I think everyone has the same review of the show’s work – that it’s really fun and relaxed – and that’s kind of Steve’s philosophy, the way he’s always worked, and so does Selena. [Gomez].”
“Everyone works in joy and happiness, because we are happy people,” he added.
