The duo has also been spotted on multiple occasions outside of work, attending Broadway shows and enjoying intimate dinners, raising more questions about the nature of their relationship.
Although both have remained mum about any romantic involvement, their frequent outings together have continued to fuel rumors.

The Oscar-winning actress, who has long kept her private life out of the public eye, shares four children with Gummer. The two reportedly parted ways amicably, though they have yet to speak publicly about the separation. As for Martin, the actor has experienced his own loss. He was married to Nancy Dolman for 30 years before she tragically passed away in 2010.
Martin has often spoken lovingly about his late wife and continues to cherish her memory, but fans are now wondering if this new bond with Meryl could be something more than just a deep friendship.
Their growing connection has been a topic of much conversation, especially as both stars have weathered personal challenges in recent years.
While promoting Only Murders in the Building, Martin addressed the rumors on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, emphasizing that he and Meryl are “very close friends.” But despite his insistence, the two continue to be seen together, leading many to wonder if their friendship has taken a romantic turn.
