Looks like hot wings aren’t the only thing getting turned up anymore. Things are getting a little too warm between Sean Evans and Keke Palmer, and this time it’s not about spicy chicken at all.

The pair turned up the charm on Palmer’s podcast "Baby, This Is Keke Palmer", and from the jump, the energy was giving “rom-com that accidentally started filming in real life.”

Palmer even introduced Evans as a “potential future suitor,” which is already chaotic in the best way. Evans did not help calm things down. He went into full admiration mode, listing compliments that read like a very well-written résumé of affection.“You’re obviously very charismatic, you’re smart, you’re beautiful,” he said. “You have a way of talking about the stuff that you do… and I think it just keeps the rhythm of all of that.”

Then he added, “We all give off gigawatt frequencies… sometimes they just naturally match with people.”

Ja, okay sir. Say less… or actually maybe say less next time.

Palmer, not missing a beat, leaned right into the moment, even revisiting their now-famous kiss and the reaction it caused online. Evans kept it humble but playful, saying, “It was great for my stock,” while Palmer agreed it did her “stock” some favours too.

The chemistry didn’t stop there. Things escalated into a lighthearted Twister game, with Palmer’s mom stepping in like the unofficial relationship referee, fully approving the vibe and calling it “such a great moment.” 

By the end, it was giving a family-approved, almost-love story with bonus podcast content.

Palmer even summed it up sweetly, while Evans slightly fumbled the emotional landing, proving again that yes - the heat is still very much on, and it’s not coming from the wings.
