Keke Palmer and “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans continue to draw attention amid long-running dating rumors. Multiple outlets report that the pair have recently been seen together in New York City, including a dinner stop at a Brooklyn restaurant on June 12. Following the outing, Keke Palmer makes public comments that outlets describe as cheeky or suggestive. According to reporting, she later addressed questions about the alleged romance during an appearance connected to Cannes Lions, where she took part in Spotify’s “Conversations That Channel Culture” panel and responded to questions from Jay Shetty. The coverage frames her remarks as an update on the speculation rather than a clear confirmation.

Overall, the reports focus on their recent sightings together and Palmer’s public response when asked about their relationship, while not presenting an explicit, on-record statement from either party confirming a romantic relationship. The story remains based on media observations of their interactions and her comments during a public event.
