The sighting arrived as Murray was previously spotted at other Kelis concerts. Additionally, the actor and the rapper were reportedly staying at the same hotel while in London.
According to a report from The Sun, the pair have “bonded” since the passing of Kelis’ husband, Mike Mora, in 2022. Murray reportedly suffered a similar tragedy with his “estranged wife” in 2021.
Additionally, an unidentified “friend” of the pair shared a statement with the outlet regarding their relationship.
“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… 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.”
Additionally, social media reactions to the rumored couple have been mixed. Some internet users have made light of the “unlikely” pair.
“Singer Kelis’ milkshake has reportedly brought actor Bill Murray to the yard.”
