Keke Palmer<\/a> and Hot Ones host Sean Evans<\/a> have been flirting on-camera for years, but\u00a0it sounds like they might actually be doing something about it now. Earlier this month, DeuxMoi posted a photo<\/a> of the pair having dinner together in Brooklyn, sparking romance rumors. On Tuesday, Palmer said cryptically that she and Evans are currently \u201changing out.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPage Six\u201d<\/a> reported that Palmer was onstage at a Spotify panel during Cannes Lions when host Jay Shetty asked if she was \u201cserious about Sean Evans.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOh, we\u2019re talking about this? First of all, I love Sean Evans. I love Sean. Hey, Sean! That\u2019s my guy,\u201d Palmer responded. \u201cWe\u2019re hanging out.\u201d The actress added that you \u201cnever know what could arise.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c[We\u2019re] just tak[ing] it day by day, one wing at a time, so to speak,\u201d Palmer told Shetty. She missed the opportunity to say that they\u2019re \u201cwinging it,\u201d but I can forgive her.<\/p>\n Palmer and Evans have been locked in a public flirtation for a long time. She first appeared on Hot Ones in 2017, with her second appearance coming in 2021. In 2023, Evans told his sister in chicken-based interviews, Amelia Dimoldenberg<\/a>, that Palmer was the one guest he\u2019s had a crush on<\/a>. \u201cVery charming woman,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Last year, Palmer made her third appearance on Hot Ones<\/a> and ended the interview by asking Evans for \u201ca quick smooch to see if there\u2019s a spark.\u201d After their kiss, Palmer exclaimed, \u201cThe spark is sparking!\u201d In May, Palmer and Evans continued to flirt for the cameras when he appeared on her podcast, Baby, This Is Keke Palmer<\/a>. She introduced him as a \u201cpotential future suitor.\u201d<\/p>\n Here we are, a month later, and it sounds like Evans has been promoted to \u201ccurrent suitor.\u201d May this serve as a lesson to all of us: Sometimes you really do just have to shoot your shot. It may take three years for it to go through, but that\u2019s better than nothing!<\/p>\n Stay in touch.<\/p>\n The latest in style, self, culture, and power in your inbox.<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
