Keke Palmer Keeps It Coy About “Hot Ones” Host Sean Evans, Says They’re Taking It Day By Day’ As Fans Push For Romance

#KekePalmer is no longer staying quiet about her rumored romance with Hot Ones host Sean Evans.

Speaking with author and podcaster #JayShetty at Spotify Beach on Tuesday (June 23), Keke offered her most candid comments yet on where they stand, confirming they’re spending time together and seeing where things go. “First of all, I love #SeanEvans. I love Sean. Hey Sean! That’s my guy,” she said. “We started off as colleagues; you never know what can arise from there. So we’re just taking it day by day.”

The acknowledgment comes on the heels of the pair being photographed at a roughly 90-minute dinner at Brooklyn hotspot Lucali, where Sean reportedly appeared “smitten” with Keke. Around the same time, Sean publicly praised their on-screen dynamic at an event in Hollywood, describing their chemistry as a “one plus one equals three situation.” The foundation for all of this, however, stretches back to 2023, when Sean admitted on Chicken Shop Date that he had developed a crush on Keke after interviewing her, calling her “very charming.”

The romance rumors picked up in September 2025 when Keke made her record-setting third appearance on #HotOnes and surprised Sean with a spontaneous on-camera kiss, telling him she wanted to see “if there’s a spark.” Sean later joked that the moment would be one of the last things to flash before his eyes.

#TJBCrew, would you be here for this relationship?
