If you are reading this, I am willing to bet my left ear you have heard of Bill Murray. I mean, he is only one of the greatest comedy actors in the whole world. The man who has been having us in splits since the 1970s is widely known for his awards and feuds with colleagues. Let us take a look at the women who no doubt got tickled by his jokes so much that they left.
Bill Murray has been reportedly dating American singer Kelis. According to The Sun, the two have been seen together in both the United States and London, with sightings occurring after Kelis' performance in London. They have even spent time together at the same hotel. It is noted that their shared experiences of bereavement have brought them closer and created a common bond between them.
The dating rumors started after Bill Murray was seen at several of Kelis' international concerts. However, Kelis seems to have addressed the rumors in her recent post on Instagram, where she shared a photo of herself enjoying a beach day. When a fan asked her about the Bill Murray allegations, Kelis replied, indicating that addressing the rumors is not a priority for her. While there have been rumors of their relationship, both Kelis and Bill Murray have experienced recent bereavements and are currently living their single lives.
Kelis is a widow and solely raising her two children. Bill Murray’s second ex-wife, Jennifer Butler (they divorced in 2008), passed away in 2021, while Kelis’ second husband, Mike Mora, died last year.
