An unidentified “friend” of the pair reportedly shared more details about the pair’s rumored union.
“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…”
Furthermore, the source even spoke on the “bereavement” that brought the “unlikely” pair together.
“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.”

As The Shade Room previously reported, Kelis reflected on the passing of her husband, Mike Mora, in March.
Mora passed in March 2022 due to stage 4 stomach cancer which he was diagnosed with in 2021.
In a video shared on her Instagram, the rapper opened up about the “shock” of her husbanf’s diagnosis.
“My husband Mike got sick, this was a couple years ago … he was diagnosed stage four stomach cancer. It was just such a shock. We eat well, we lived on the farm already … so we were already eating well, and really focused on what we put in our bodies.”
As well as the “impact and evolution” Mora’s passing has had on her life.
“It’s been exactly a year… that’s crazy to me. I’m a very private person generally, especially when there is family involved. But there is no denying the impact and evolution my husbands passing has had on my life…”
