Keke Palmer Breaks Silence on Sean Evans Rumors, Says They're Hanging Out.
Keke Palmer and Sean Evans seem to be maintaining their romance. With recent news on her relationship with the Hot Ones host, who has been open about his long-standing affection on her, the Burbs actress further stoked romance speculations.
In an interview with Jay Shetty on June 23 at Spotify's Conversations That Channel Culture event in Cannes, France, Shetty questioned Palmer about if she was "serious" on chasing Evans.
"Oh, we’re talking about this?" according to Page Six, the 32-year-old responded in jest. "First of all, I love Sean Evans. I love Sean. Hey, Sean! That’s my guy."

Palmer said, "We're hanging out," adding that they "never know what could arise," when Shetty brought up the two's purported date in New York City earlier this month.
"Just taking it day by day," the former Disney Channel star teased, "one wing at a time, so to speak." She and her ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson have a 3-year-old son named Leodis.
Palmer's post comes a few weeks after Evans joined the Nope star on her podcast, Baby, This is Keke Palmer, demonstrating their unquestionable chemistry once more.
She referred to the 40-year-old as both "my boo" and her "potential future suitor" in the May 26 show before Evans raved about Palmer, saying, "It’s just fun being with you."
Palmer jokingly responded, "I played Chili in the TLC movie. Close enough." Evans, who had originally confessed his infatuation on the Emmy winner in 2023, claimed that Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes from TLC was his boyhood crush.
Evans smiled and laughed in response. "I know you did. Close enough. Absolutely close enough."
In order to give the couple her blessing, her mother Sharon Palmer even joined in, telling the YouTuber that seeing him with her daughter was a "great moment."
