Martin Short is not gay, and he is currently single. However, there are reports that suggest the comedian and actor might be dating and keeping it all under wraps.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Martin was married to the late Nancy Nancy Dolman for 30 years before she lost her battle with cancer. Before his marriage, the Canadian entertainer had an active love life. Notable among his ex-girlfriends is Gilda Radner, who he dated for a couple of years before Nancy came along. Short never sired any children, but he adopted and raised three kids with his late wife, Nancy.<\/p>\n

Is Martin Short Gay?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Martin Short is not gay, however, since his emergence to fame, there has been conclusive evidence showing that Martin Short may be gay or bi-sexual. However, when you consider his marriage to singer\/comedian, Nancy Dolman, which spanned over 30 years before her death, you will agree that the actor is straight.<\/p>\n

There are people that argue that being married to a partner of the opposite sex is never a guarantee that someone is straight but Short\u2019s history with women is a verifiable one. Even before he dated and married, Nancy, Short\u2019s name has only ever been linked to women. He dated Saturday Night Live alum, Gilda Radner for about two years, though their relationship was an on-and-off thing. Martins once mentioned how he got terrible gaydar!<\/p>\n

Talking about the possibility of spotting a gay person by their appearance, Martin Short said it might be very hard to figure that out by merely looking at someone. According to the comedian and show host, he has encountered several effeminate people that surprisingly turned out to be sincerely straight, and there are also people who you would swear are straight, but they are, in fact, gay.<\/p>\n

Why Fans Often Question Martin Short’s Sexuality<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The big question here is that if Martin is not gay, why then is he often mistaken as a gay guy? The major reason people associate Martin with homosexuality is not far from the colorful and wacky personality he often portrays in the movies. Notable among the queer characters he has portrayed is Oliver from the series, Only Murders.<\/p>\n

From 2021 to date, Martin Short has been essaying an ambitious but financially unstable Broadway director always seen in printed robes and scarves. This eccentric personality depicts the character as an apt representation of the queer community. However, the creator of the show, John Hoffman, never confirmed whether Oliver was actually gay but said he based the character on several Olivers he met during his days in school \u2013 some were gay, and some were not.<\/p>\n

Oliver is not the only queer character that Martin Short has portrayed. The Canadian actor was part of the cast of Father of the Bride, where he played the role of the fabulous wedding planner called Franck. Ironically, it was never Short\u2019s intention to play the Franck character as gay. Talking to Pride Source, the comedian cum actor said his eyes always go to unusual behavior or eccentric behavior, heightened behavior, or just funny behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to essaying several queer characters, Martins is also associated with many members of the LGBTQ community, which made people conclude that he may be one of them.<\/p>\n
