Keke Palmer and “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans have fans convinced there could be romance brewing after their extremely flirty podcast exchange went viral online. During the newest episode of Palmer’s “Baby, this is Keke Palmer” podcast, the actress jokingly introduced Evans as her “potential future suitor,” setting the tone for a conversation packed with crazy levels of rizz from both of them.
When Evans revealed his childhood celebrity crush was TLC’s Left Eye, Palmer quickly replied, “I played Chili in the [‘CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story’] movie. Close enough,” prompting Evans to respond, “Absolutely close enough.” The flirting continued when Palmer sent a shout out to “Mr. and Mrs. Evans…your parents,” but the YouTube star teased, “Oh, I thought you were talking about us.”
Fans flooded the comments section afterward, with one viewer calling it “the most professional flirting I’ve ever seen,” while another wrote, “this whole episode was Keke telling Sean how to date her lol.” The buzz follows years of mutual admiration between the two, including Evans previously calling Palmer a “very charming woman” and their legendary smooch on “Hot Ones,” after which Palmer declared, “The sparks are sparking!”
Keke broke up with her ex Darius Jackson in 2023 and they share their son Leodis. Sean was last tied to adult film star Melissa Stratton but split in 2024 due to intense media attention on their relationship. See the clips on the right!
