\n\t\t\tKeke Palmer has navigated her personal life in the public eye for more than a decade. \u201cI\u2019ve always had the same philosophy when it comes to dating. Not that I wouldn\u2019t give someone a try. But trying to keep my private life outside of my work life, to me, it\u2019s easiest when you don\u2019t date [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWorking with Keke Palmer is always like a one plus one equals three situation,\u201d Evans said at the time, per The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>. \u201cYou know who I loved interviewing was Viola Davis<\/strong><\/a>. I really loved interviewing Viola Davis. Paul Rudd<\/strong><\/a> is another one who immediately understood what we were doing and got me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair have never publicly defined or shared their relationship status. Us Weekly<\/em> has reached out to reps for both Evans and Palmer for comment.<\/p>\n
