In the latest episode of “what absurd Hollywood romantic pairing could be next?,” Bill Murray and singer Kelis have done a first-rate job of weirding people out. As customs have it, news has taken Twitter by storm.
Their romance speculations sparked attention after Murray was seen at Kelis’ Mighty Hoopla Festival in London, where the duo also took a picture backstage. It’s true that neither party has given any confirmation of being in a relationship with the other, but sources closer to them reached out to The Sun and splashed juicy details about the pair.
One of them is that both the Ghostbusters star and Kelis shared the same hotel, and that their acquaintanceship goes way back in the US. “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,” is what was pointed out about the pair’s budding romance.
As usual, people took this opportunity to comment their opinion on Twitter, which is now replete with hilarious memes and baffling reactions.

As expected, the news has led many to revisit the past controversies around Murray, which include sexual assault allegations as well as domestic violence and infidelity accusations by his ex-wife, Jennifer Butler. Not to mention, the wide age gap between he and Kelis has also raised eyebrows.
The “Milkshake” songstress, on the other hand, also has her share of troubles; which include being a victim of emotional and physical abuse by her former husband, Nas. It’s not known how long the rumored relationship will continue, but we will definitely keep our eyes peeled for further updates.
