Now what’s goin’ on in Keke Palmer’s DMs?! Sis has been minding her business, thriving as always — but it looks like the internet isn’t done trying to shoot their shot. And this time, it wasn’t a celeb or blue check sliding in… it was a bold college student who had TikTok and Keke’s attention.

A TikToker Shot His Shot & Keke Might’ve Caught It
Cole, a college student with charm, confidence, and a couple chin hairs to prove it, took to TikTok to make his case for why he, not Sean Evans of ‘Hot Ones’ fame, should be Keke’s next bae. Referencing Keke’s flirty moment with Sean during her recent interview, Cole delivered a full breakdown on why she should give a regular guy like him a chance — even signing off with a confident “hit me up.” And guess what? Keke seemingly caught wind of her white chocolate admirer and responded in a way only she can — with that signature mix of humor, charm, and just enough sauce to keep the internet talking.
In the hilarious TikTok response, the host and actress used many references that we’re not even sure baby boy got. At one point Keke can be heard saying, “I was kind of gagged when I found out that I was 11 years older than you. That means when you were born I was already winning spelling bees.” While the icon mentioned that she’s not in her “cougar” era just yet, she didn’t completely shut the door all the way. And, she even ended the video with, “I got a son, he callin’ me.”

Now, Let’s Rewind To The Sean Evans Kiss…
Fans are buzzing after Keke made her third appearance on the recent episode of ‘Hot Ones,’ which dropped recently. While she handled the spicy wings like a pro, it was the unexpected heat between her and host Sean Evans that really stole the show. Toward the end of the episode, Keke brought up a previous interview where Sean called her his celebrity crush, describing her as “charming.”
In a bold and hilarious moment, Keke teased, “I know we just had some wings, but I thought that maybe we could just have a quick smooch to see if there’s a spark.” Without hesitation, Sean grinned and agreed — and yes, they kissed on the lips. The brief but sweet moment had Sean joking it’ll flash before his eyes when he dies, calling Keke “amazing” as they hugged it out. Now the internet’s asking: was that just playful banter… or something more?
