Keke Palmer's Cheeky Update on Sean Evans Sparks Romance Buzz
Keke Palmer and Sean Evans are heating up after their New York City date night.
The actress gave a cheeky update on her rumored romance with the “Hot Ones” host on Tuesday at Cannes Lions, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
During Spotify’s Conversations That Channel Culture panel, host Jay Shetty asked the Emmy winner, 32, whether she is “serious about Sean Evans.”
Palmer replied, “Oh, we’re talking about this? First of all, I love Sean Evans. I love Sean. Hey, Sean! That’s my guy.”
Shetty, 38, pressed the former Disney Channel star on viral photos that surfaced earlier this month of the duo out to eat in Brooklyn.
“We’re hanging out,” the “Scream Queens” alum confirmed, teasing they “never know what could arise.”
She clarified, “[We’re] just tak[ing] it day by day, one wing at a time, so to speak.”
Palmer and Evans met in 2017 when the “Burbs” star sat down for the latter’s talk show, and they reunited for another episode four years later.
In 2023, Evans copped to a crush on Palmer while appearing on “Chicken Shop Date.”
After Evans dubbed the “True Jackson VP” alum a “very charming woman” in 2023, Palmer uploaded the clip to her Instagram and called him “too kind” in return.
She asked Evans for a “quick smooch” during her third “Hot Ones” installment last year, and they locked lips on camera.
The pair further fueled romance speculation in May with flirty banter on an episode of Palmer’s “Baby, This Is Keke” podcast.
Social media users urged Palmer and Evans to date — and they were caught on camera enjoying a dinner date on June 12.
Palmer and Evans reportedly ate at Italian restaurant Lucali in Brooklyn and were “locked in” on each other, according to an eyewitness.
The spy insisted there was no PDA but referred to the YouTuber as “smitten.”
Evans has previously been linked to adult film star Melissa Stratton, while Palmer last publicly dated Darius Jackson, the father of her 3-year-old child.
