Are they in a romantic relationship or not? This question has long intrigued the online community regarding Keke Palmer and «Hot Ones» host Sean Evans. Friends have reignited romance rumors over the past year after the actress invited Sean to her podcast «Baby, This Is Keke Palmer» to discuss their friendship.
Their chemistry dates back to 2017 when Keke first appeared on Sean’s viral show.
Now, after they were spotted having dinner in New York City, according to the celebrity account DeuxMoi, fans are eagerly awaiting an answer to the question of whether they are a couple.
Here’s what we know about Keke and Sean’s relationship so far.
Keke and Sean first met in 2017 when she was a guest on his show «Hot Ones». At that time, their chemistry was already noticeable, but the moment passed, and it wasn’t until years later that Sean admitted he had a crush on the «True Jackson, VP» actress.
In 2021, Keke returned to «Hot Ones» to reunite with Sean, and that’s when fans began to pay attention to their friendly connection.
About two years later, Sean appeared on the podcast «Chicken Shop Date», - where host Amelia Dimzoldberg asked him if he had ever had a «crush» on one of his «Hot Ones» guests. He confirmed that it was indeed Keke.
When Keke came back to Sean’s show for the third time in 2025, she suggested a «quick kiss to see if there was a spark» between them, and Sean happily agreed.
«There's one more thing I want to say, Sean», - Keke began. «I saw an interview where you said I was your favorite guest and all that sweet stuff. And I know we just ate wings, but I thought maybe we could just quickly kiss to see if there’s a spark».
After they shared a quick kiss, the «Hustlers» actress exclaimed, «There really was a spark. When I’m dying and my life is flashing before my eyes, I will have that moment».
Neither Keke nor Sean has publicly confirmed that they are actually dating. Therefore, it’s unclear if they have given their relationship any label. However, a photo posted by DeuxMoi in June 2026 caused a stir among fans on social media.
In the discussed photo, it appears that Keke and Sean are sitting at a table having dinner in Brooklyn, New York. It might have been a friendly meeting, but social media users hoped it was a sign of something more.
