Keke Palmer remains charmed by Sean Evans, even as news emerges that the “Hot Ones” host is exploring the world of dating apps.
During a Tuesday night interview, Jimmy Fallon brought up Palmer’s connection with the 40-year-old, keen to explore the dynamic between them.
“Everyone is buzzing about your dynamic with Sean Evans on ‘Hot Ones,'” Fallon remarked on “The Tonight Show.” “It’s clear there’s a spark. People adore seeing you two interact.”
Palmer responded with warmth, saying, “I love Sean. He truly is wonderful.”
Fallon, 51, noted the widespread fan enthusiasm suggesting they should date, to which Palmer found humor, recalling the undeniable connection they shared since their first “Hot Ones” interview in 2017.
“You do interviews and, as a performer, you’re being present, but you don’t always get that energy back,” the former Disney Channel star. “But I think he felt the same.”
Describing their back-and-forth as a seamless “bing boom,” Palmer poked fun at everyone on social media asking, “Don’t you see?”
She shared a similar sentiment on the “Today” show Monday morning.
“Our chemistry is genuine,” the “True Jackson, VP” alum said. “I couldn’t force that if I tried. We always felt that chemistry.
“It’s life,” she continued. “Essentially, we met at work. We had chemistry. Work husband, work wife. You just have that chemistry with people. Then, we hang out.
Palmer added, “I was gagged that everybody was ready to marry me off. Guys, let it cook! They married your girl off in two seconds!”
The Emmy winner confirmed in June that she and Evans are “hanging out,” on the heels of the duo being spotted on a Brooklyn dinner date last month.
However, a source told The Sun over the weekend that Evans appears to be active on Raya, a celebrity dating app.
The outlet noted that his profile claimed he was “visiting Los Angeles.”
Reps for Palmer and Evans have yet to respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Evans has previously been linked to pageant queen Natasha Alexis Martinez and adult film star Melissa Stratton.
Palmer, for her part, shares 3-year-old son Leodis with ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson.
