In news that nobody saw coming, singer Kelis, who is best known for her song 'Milkshake', is reportedly dating Hollywood actor Bill Murray.
The 72-year-old Ghostbusters actor has allegedly struck up an unlikely romance with the 43-year-old musician after being spotted at some of her more recent gigs.
According to The Sun, the rumors about the couple - who have a 30-year age gap - began after the father-of-six was seen watching the 'Bossy' singer perform at the Mighty Hoopla festival in Brockwell Park, South London last weekend.
They also posed for a picture backstage.
The outlet added that sources also saw the pair at the same hotel and have been "getting close for a while" after first meeting in the US.
"They’ve met up in the States before which got people in the industry talking, and now are meeting up in London while they’re both here. They’ve clearly hit it off," the insider said.
"They were both seen at the same hotel, and he’s been to watch her perform several times before he went to Mighty Hoopla. But they’ve also both shared relatively recent bereavements and have that common bond between them.
"Whatever it is that has brought them together, and however unlikely it seems, they are both single and are having fun despite the fairly big age gap," they added.
The alleged romance is the first in public for Kelis - whose full name is Kelis Rogers - and Murray after experiencing individual losses in their lives.
The 'Trick Me' singer's husband Mike Mora passed away in 2022 after a long battle with stage four stomach cancer at the age of 37. She spoke about her heartbreak and how it has taught her to cherish time and celebrate people.
"It doesn’t change the fact that I’m heartbroken. But it does change how I choose to approach it," the mom-of-three expressed, per Revolt. "It reminds you how short time is and how we don’t have any control.
"I want to control what I can control - how I treat the people around me. I’m really big on celebrating people when they’re here. I don’t feel like it’s as useful when they’re gone," she added.
Meanwhile, the Groundhog Day star's estranged wife Jennifer Butler also passed away back in 2021. The costume designer filed for divorce from the actor in 2008, but the pair are understood to have remained in touch before her death two years ago.
