Then Selena Gomez got dragged in. After the video of herself and Taylor Swift gossiping was linked to Timothee Chalamet and Kendall Jenner, Gomez wrote on TikTok that what she was actually gossiping about was about the hook up of two of her friends. Gomez is Streep and Short’s costar, and has a great relationship with both.
While the speculation was fun, Short’s representatives rapidly tamped down the rumors. “They are just very good friends, nothing more,” said a statement. The two likely became close friends due to their long careers in Hollywood, including their work most recent series “Only Murders In the Building,” which resulted in Golden Globe nominations for the two of them and Gomez.
