Keke Palmer and Sean Evans have fans playing matchmaker again after his recent appearance on “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer.”

In the episode, Palmer and the “Hot Ones” host revisited their years-long connection, including a viral on-screen kiss from years ago.

The actress has also been speaking candidly about the bigoted messages she receives online, as well as the health struggles that once took a toll on her.

Palmer and Evans sent fans back into matchmaking mode after he featured in an episode of “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer.”

The “Hot Ones” host joined Palmer on the May 26 installment, where the pair looked back on their relationship over the years, and even rewatched their viral kiss from her 2025 appearance on his show.

After watching the exchange, fans appeared to be just as invested as ever. One viewer was already imagining a much bigger future for the pair, writing in the comments section, “Ready for the wedding and the healthy marriage.”

Another fan felt the moment looked like more than casual banter, joking, “If this is not a soft launch, I don’t know what it is.”

For some fans, there was no need to overthink it. “Keke, that’s your man,” one viewer wrote, while another declared, “I love Sean, and I love Keke! I love Sean and Keke TOGETHER even more!”

Palmer Slams Bigoted Haters

In a recent interview while promoting her colorful new action-comedy film “I Love Boosters,” Palmer addressed the bigoted messages she has continued to receive online since opening up about being queer.

The Emmy-winning actress warned trolls to stop wasting their time spreading negativity when they could be doing something more useful, explaining that focusing on toxicity only takes away from their own lives.

“You might think you’re hurting others, but you’re really hurting yourself,” she told Out. “When you sit there and only put negativity out, and you only stay on that vibration, you’ve got to balance it. You can’t just be up to some bullsh-t.”

“That’s more time away from you doing what you need to do for your life. Try to create a sense of community,” Palmer urged.

Keke Palmer’s New Film Described As A ‘Joy To Watch’

Palmer appears in the vibrant, upbeat film alongside a star-studded group of women, including Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, and Eiza González.

The cast encouraged fans to watch the movie as a form of joyful escapism, while also framing it as a story about unity, freedom, and people choosing a better life for themselves.

“The best way to unite people is through joy, and that’s what this film is. It was a joy to make, and it’s a joy to watch! It’s a joy to be around each other, and that’s what we need to be out here representing,” Ackie said.

“The gay community is a community that really knows how that feels. People of color, minorities… you’re just living your life and living your truth. This movie is about women wanting a better life for themselves. It’s about loving yourself and getting the opportunity to live your best life,” González added.

The Actress Opens Up About Her Painful Acne Battle

Palmer has also been open about the toll her health struggles took on her confidence, particularly while dealing with severe acne connected to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS.

In a recent conversation with Gayle King, the “One of Them Days” actress discussed living with the condition and the years she spent without a diagnosis. According to PEOPLE, the 32-year-old described that period as “crippling” and “unbearable,” saying it deeply affected her confidence.

“It hurt emotionally in a way that you can’t describe… I had it all my life, and it was a burden I learned to wear, but I didn’t want it,” she said. “I remember just reaching a point where I said, ‘I’ve got to solve this. I’ve got to fix this. This isn’t just acne; this is my body telling me something more is going on.’”

Keke Palmer Found Answers After Turning To A Specialist

Elsewhere during the conversation, Palmer revealed that the experience pushed her to research several possible causes of acne online.

She eventually began looking into hormones and, after connecting the symptoms with her family history, asked her doctor if she had PMOS, formerly referred to as PCOS. However, because she did not have cysts, the possibility was initially dismissed.

“I was telling doctors, y’all are wrong,” she recalled.

“Everybody was on that glass skin, and I’m over here with cracked glass. It is a very heavy thing on your mental health because [I felt like] if I do it right, I should have the results,” Palmer continued. “I’m eating right. I’m doing the things. I’m exercising. I’m drinking water. Why is my body betraying me?”

It was not until she turned to an endocrinologist that multiple blood tests confirmed her suspicions. Palmer has since started taking medication for her acne.
