Bill Murray Sets the Record Straight: No Romance with Kelis, Just Good Vibes
In the whirlwind world of celebrity gossip, where every casual encounter sparks speculation, Bill Murray recently took a moment on SiriusXM’s Sway in the Morning to clarify the persistent rumors surrounding his alleged romance with R&B singer Kelis. The pair, who garnered attention in 2023 due to Murray’s appearances at her concerts, found themselves at the center of a media frenzy that had fans scratching their heads and reaching for their smartphones in disbelief.
Murray, 74, humorously dismissed the dating rumors, explaining how their initial meeting stemmed from a nostalgic appreciation for Kelis’s vibrant presence in Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s iconic 1999 music video for “Got Your Money.” “I love that video,” he reminisced, adding that he was captivated by Kelis’s fiery red hair and unique charisma, which led him to seek a meeting. However, he was quick to stress that their relationship has never crossed into romantic territory. “No, no, but, you know, one of us could be on the rebound any second,” he quipped, showcasing his trademark humor.
The online reaction to the rumors was equally entertaining, with social media users expressing shock at the unlikely pairing. Comments like, “Kelis’s milkshake bringing Bill Murray to the yard was predicted by no one,” encapsulated the collective astonishment of fans. Kelis herself weighed in on the speculation, jokingly dismissing the idea of a romantic link by stating, “lol no babe, I wouldn’t bother at all.”
While the duo’s interactions have certainly sparked curiosity, they appear to maintain a friendship built on mutual respect and admiration. It’s also worth noting that celebrity dating rumors are notoriously fickle, often fueled by mere sightings or social media interactions. For instance, the absurdity of such pairings is not new; celebrity relationships often defy logic, leaving fans both bewildered and amused.
In the end, one must wonder: can two famous figures share genuine camaraderie without the weight of romantic expectations? It seems that Murray and Kelis are here to prove that the lines can be pleasantly blurred.
