Bill Murray finally addresses the rumors that he and Kelis dated once upon a time.
In 2023, it was reported that the 74-year-old actor and the 45-year-old were dating after photos of the pair surfaced online. Fans on social media instantly began to jump to conclusions about them.
However, two years later, Murray breaks his silence about the rumors. During a recent interview, the veteran actor spoke the rumors and his love for hip-hop. “I feel like hip-hop has surrounded me,” he said. Murray said that he first saw the “Milkshake” singer in the 1999 Ol’ Dirty Bastard video, “Got Your Money,” and knew that he wanted to meet her ever since.
As the interview went on, he confirmed that he and Kelis never dated but said that the rumors gave him a lot of street cred. “I met this girl named Kelis. I got great press that I was dating her. That really raised my cred a lot,” he said. “Well, it was false humility again.”
Bill Murray jokes that anything is possible. “You know, one of us could be on the rebound any second.”
