Meryl Streep and Jason Momoa partied it up after Saturday Night Live‘s 50th anniversary special.
Momoa, 45, took to Instagram on Monday, February 17 and shared two photos of himself with Streep, 75, at an SNL50 soiree the night before. In one pic, the actors pose with their heads close together and smile for the camera, and in the second snap, Momoa and Streep strike dance poses, playfully pointing toward the photographer behind the lens. (Who might have been Momoa’s girlfriend, Adria Arjona.)
The Aquaman star and Arjona, 32, made their official red-carpet debut as a couple on Friday, February 14, when they celebrated Valentine’s Day by attending SNL50: The Homecoming Concert in Radio City Music Hall.
Momoa gave Arjona first priority in the photo dump he posted Monday that documented highlights from the weekend’s festivities. Those included: The twosome happily posing with their VIP tickets to Sunday’s special and smiling alongside SNL crew member Donna Richards, who dresses the celebrity hosts and revealed on the air that Momoa was her favorite to dress. Besides the aforementioned dual Streep shots, he also featured pics with Kristen Wiig, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Murray and Chevy Chase in the IG carousel.

“I AM SO GRATEFUL,” the Hawaii-born actor captioned his post. “Congratulations @nbcsnl OHANA. SNL50 what a magical 3 days. GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME My mind is blown.”
Referencing Arjona, Momoa added: “Off to the next journey with mi amor.”
Meanwhile, Streep was in good spirits following her hilarious SNL50 cameo, where she got into character as the quirky, oversharing mother of Kate McKinnon’s Miss Rafferty. The Oscar winner watched the rest of the special in the audience with Martin Short, whom she’s rumored to be dating. The duo also attended the Radio City event two days prior.
“There’s really no one funnier to sit next to than Marty Short, who I got to sit next to at the homecoming concert the other night,” Amy Schumer told People on Sunday. “I think that the tea is, I think Marty might be off the market. That’s what I’m seeing. I don’t know.”

While Schumer did not name the object of Short’s affection, she teased: “Maybe just like the greatest actor of our time, I don’t know.”
Speculation that Streep and Short are more than friends began swirling in December 2023 when Time Out New York theater critic Adam Feldman teased via social media that there was a “surprising” celebrity couple keeping their romance under wraps. The replies hinted at Streep and Short.
Rumors were fueled the following month when Streep and Short were spotted sitting next to each other at the 2024 Golden Globes. At the time, a rep for Short insisted that the duo “are just very good friends, nothing more.”
That summer, they made more headlines when they were spotted holding hands at a season 4 premiere party for Only Murders in the Building, in which Streep and Short costar. Several days later, Short gushed over Streep in an interview with Extra, saying, “I think it’s been a friendship that always grows if you work with someone and love that person.”
