If you cast your mind back to January 2024, you might remember that Selena Gomez caused a bit of a stir when she was caught gossiping with her best friend Taylor Swift at the Golden Globes.
Social media entered full sleuth mode when Gomez was spotted whispering something in Taylor’s ear that made her jaw drop, with everybody desperate to know what it was that she said.
The rumor mill quickly started to speculate that Gomez was telling Tay that she’d asked Timothée Chalamet for a photo, only for his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, to turn the request down, but Gomez firmly denied this theory.
Commenting on E! News’ Instagram post about it, the star revealed: “Noooooo I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s anyone's business."

And when Meryl Streep and Martin Short were spotted holding hands at the "Only Murders in the Building" Season 4 premiere in August of that same year, people put two and two together and basically decided that Streep and Short were the two friends that Gomez was talking about.

It’s worth noting that Gomez herself has never confirmed this, and Streep and Short are also yet to publicly confirm their romance — but they’ve been spotted looking pretty cozy together on other occasions since.

Fast-forward to now, and Gomez has seemingly been caught yapping about Streep and Short once again, this time at the 2025 Emmys, which took place on Sunday night.
In a video of the star-studded audience that was posted to X by Deadline, Gomez can be seen glancing over at her "Only Murders" costar Short, who is beaming while looking down at his phone.
She then pulls a definitive “aww” face before turning to her fiancé, Benny Blanco, and seemingly saying to him: “Marty’s texting Meryl.”
The clip has since gone viral, with one of the top comments joking: “Why do people always catch her gossiping 😭😭😭 she’s so me.”
“she is always at the scene of the crime omg love her,” somebody else quipped.
Others noted Short's huge smile in the video, with one user sharing a screenshot of it and tweeting: “His big ass smile while texting her omg 🥹”
While another wrote: “him texting her with that huge smile, the love we all deserve.”
