There’s been plenty of chatter concerning speculation that Kelis, best-known for her chart-topping 2003 song Milkshake, is dating Ghostbusters star Bill Murray.

The musician has now broken her silence after fans flooded her Instagram comment section with questions about the rumoured relationship.

Earlier this month, Bill, 73, was spotted dancing away at the Mighty Hoopla music festival, having a blast while Kelis, 42, performed on stage.

Shortly afterwards, it was claimed that a romance had sparked up between the pair.

An insider claimed that they ‘hit it off’ after meeting up in London, before stating: ‘They were both seen at the same hotel, and he’s been to watch her perform several times before he went to Mighty Hoopla.’

They continued to The Sun: ‘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.’

Over on Instagram, Kelis recently shared a picture of herself standing in the sea in a multicoloured bikini, writing in the caption: ‘I’m a beach bum.’

In a question completely unrelated to the post, one fan asked in the comment section: ‘Ma’am would you care to address these Bill Murray allegations?!? Cuz damn1 What he doing with all that?!?’

In response, she wrote: ‘Lol no babe, I wouldn’t bother at all.’

It’s unclear whether Kelis meant that she wouldn’t bother to address the claims, or that she wouldn’t bother to date Bill.

The speculation continues!

Bill, who also starred in films including Groundhog Day, Lost in Translation and The Man Who Knew Too Little, has been married twice.

He first married Margaret Kelly in 1981 before divorcing 15 years later in 1996.

In 1997, he wed Jennifer Butler, with the couple becoming divorced in 2008.

Bill had two children with Margaret – sons named Homer and Luke – and four sons with Jennifer – called Caleb, Jackson, Cooper and Lincoln.

Kelis was married to Nas from 2005 to 2010, before wedding Mike Mora in 2014.

Mike died in 2022 at the age of 37 after suffering from stage-four stomach cancer.

Kelis has three children – a son who she shares with Nas, and had a son and a daughter with Mike.
