The pair locked lips on Evans’ YouTube series “Hot Ones” last year.
Keke Palmer further fueled dating rumors after being spotted on a date night with “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans in New York City . An eyewitness told the outlet that the “Nope” actress, 32, and media personality, 40, were at the upscale establishment for over an hour and a half and remained “locked in” on each other for the duration.
Although the pair didn’t appear to engage in PDA, the source said Evans seemed “smitten” by the “One of Them Days” actress. Keke Palmer and Sean Evans, seen above during a May “Baby, This is Keke Palmer” podcast episode, were reportedly spotted having dinner in New York on Friday evening. After introducing Evans as her “potential future suitor,” Evans revealed that his celebrity crush as a youth was TLC rapper Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes.
“I played Chili in the movie. Close enough,” Palmer replied, to which Evans agreed, “Absolutely close enough. ” Keke’s mother, Sharon Palmer, then said watching her daughter interact with Evans was a “great moment” because somebody from Evans’ “rich” neighborhood in Illinois wouldn’t typically hang out with someone from Palmer’s Robbins, Illinois area.
“This is great. This is how life should be,” she gushed.
“The guy from Crystal Lake should be sitting next to the girl from Robbins. ” Keke called the comment “sweet,” adding, “I love that. Shoutout to Mr. and Mrs. Evans … your parents. ”At the end of the show, Palmer and Evans affectionately embraced and said, “I love you.
” The “Hustlers” star has appeared on “Hot Ones” several times in the past. In 2025, they stunned fans with a surprise kiss during the show.
“I saw an interview where you said, like, I was your favorite guest, and all this really sweet stuff,” Keke told him, referencing his 2023 admission that he had a crush on Keke during an episode of “Chicken Shop Date. ” She added, “I know we’ve just had some wings, but I thought that maybe we could just have a quick smooch to see if there’s a spark.
” As they leaned in for the smooch, Keke gushed, “The sparks are sparking! ” Sean chimed in, “When I’m dying, and my life flashes before my eyes, I’ll have that snapshot. ”Keke Palmer and Sean Evans, seen above during a May"Baby, This is Keke Palmer" podcast episode, were reportedly spotted having dinner in New York on Friday evening.
