Remove Martin Short as present partner. That relationship has yet to be confirmed by any reputable sources and has in fact been repeatedly denied by both the actors themselves and their respective publicists.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want made. Day Creature (talk) 14:46, 18 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not necessary, the original section is not sourced either. This is not a formal accomplishment, just a trivial fact. ~2026-28475-37 (talk) 09:11, 11 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
