Keke Palmer<\/strong><\/a> is breaking her silence about those Sean Evans<\/strong> romance rumors.<\/p>\n

Podcaster Jay Shetty<\/strong> asked Palmer, 32, whether she was \u201cserious\u201d about the Hot Ones<\/em> host, 40, while appearing on Spotify\u2019s Conversations That Channel Culture panel at Cannes Lions in France on Tuesday, June 23.<\/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 replied, according to Page Six<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re hanging out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Palmer played coy, telling the crowd that you \u201cnever know what could arise\u201d between her and Evans. But as of right now, they\u2019re \u201cjust tak[ing] it day by day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Palmer quipped, \u201cOne wing at a time, so to speak.\u201d<\/p>\n

\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

Evans told Chicken Shop Date host Amelia Dimoldenberg in 2023 that he had a crush on Palmer, calling her \u201cvery charming.\u201d<\/p>\n

Palmer appeared on Hot Ones for the third time in 2025, and they addressed Evans\u2019 viral moment. Palmer even initiated a kiss with Evans during the internet show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s one more thing I\u2019d like to say, Sean,\u201d Palmer said at the time. \u201cBecause I saw an interview where you said, like, I was your favorite guest, you know, and all this really sweet stuff. And I know we\u2019ve just had some wings, but I thought that maybe we could just have a quick smooch to see if there\u2019s a spark.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evans responded, \u201cWhen I\u2019m dying and my life flashes before my eyes, I\u2019ll have that snapshot.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the months that followed, Palmer and Evans started to spark romance rumors. Multiple outlets reported earlier this month that the duo were spotted on a date in Brooklyn.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ahead of their outing, Evans praised Palmer in a separate interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Keke Palmer is always like a one-plus-one-equals-three situation,\u201d he said during an FYC event at Hollywood\u2019s Avalon on June 11. \u201cYou know who I loved interviewing was Viola Davis<\/strong>. I really loved interviewing Viola Davis. Paul Rudd<\/strong> is another one who immediately understood what we were doing and got me.\u201d<\/p>\n
