Milkshake singer Kelis, 43, is dating Ghostbusters actor Bill Murray, 72, after whirlwind romance
HOLLYWOOD superstar Bill Murray has struck up an unlikely romance with Milkshake singer Kelis — who is almost 30 years his junior.
The Ghostbusters actor, 72, watched the mum of three, 43, perform from the side of the stage in London last weekend - having also been spotted at her other recent shows.
Sources say the pair were also together at the same hotel, and have been “getting close for a while” after first meeting in their native US.
They have reportedly bonded since Kelis’s second husband died in March last year, while Bill’s estranged wife passed away in 2021.
Father-of-six Bill was pictured during Kelis’s set at the Mighty Hoopla festival in Brockwell Park, South London.
The pair also posed for a cosy snap backstage.
A friend said: “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.
“They were both seen at the same hotel, and he’s been to watch her perform several times before he went to Mighty Hoopla.
“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.”
