Keke Palmer Says She & Sean Evans Are "Hanging Out" in Romance Update

Keke Palmer Confirms She and Sean Evans Are "Hanging Out" Amid Romance Rumors

It sounds like Keke Palmer and Sean Evans are keeping their spark alive.

The Burbs actress continued to fuel romance rumors with a recent update on her connection with the Hot Ones host, who has been vocal about his crush on her for years.

While speaking with Jay Shetty during Spotify’s Conversations That Channel Culture panel in Cannes, France on June 23, Shetty put Palmer in the hot seat by asking if she's "serious" about pursuing Evans.

"Oh, we’re talking about this?" the 32-year-old jokingly replied, per Page Six. "First of all, I love Sean Evans. I love Sean. Hey, Sean! That’s my guy."

When Shetty brought up an alleged date the two supposedly went on in NYC earlier this month, Palmer confirmed, "We’re hanging out," adding that they "never know what could arise."

"Just taking it day by day," the Disney Channel alum—who shares son Leodis, 3, with ex Darius Jackson—teased, "one wing at a time, so to speak."

Palmer's update comes several weeks after Evans joined the Nope star on her Baby, This is Keke Palmer podcast, proving their undeniable chemistry yet again.

During the May 26 episode, she introduced the 40-year-old as her "potential future suitor" and also "my boo" before Evans gushed of Palmer, "It’s just fun being with you."

The flirty exchange continued as Evans—who first admitted his crush on the Emmy winner in 2023—revealed his childhood crush was Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes from TLC, to which Palmer cheekily replied, "I played Chili in the TLC movie. Close enough."

A beaming Evans responded with a laugh, "I know you did. Close enough. Absolutely close enough."

Her mom Sharon Palmer even weighed in to the conversation to give the couple her stamp of approval by telling the YouTuber that watching him with her daughter was a "great moment."
