The Bear star Jeremy Allen White has said he ‘really enjoys’ co-star Ayo Edebiri ‘on and off camera’.

The actors play chefs and business partners Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto and Sydney Adamu in the comedy-drama series, which premiered in 2022.

Viewers have been backing a romance developing between the two characters, with some also hoping the heat from the kitchen also affects their off-screen relationship.

This week photos and videos of Jeremy, 33, and Ayo, 28, attending a baseball game in Chicago with some of their co-stars was shared on social media.

However, a clip showing him rubbing her back sent fans wild, with some saying they were struggling to say ‘calm’ about how close they are.

One fan wrote the ‘work wife-husband relationship is going crrazzyyy’, while another said they ‘don’t touch my friends like that’.

Then today, an interview was released which saw the pair gush about each other.

In a profile about the actress for Vanity Fair, Jeremy said they ‘really enjoy each other in life, on camera and off camera’.

‘I have a tremendous amount of respect for her as a person, but also as an artist.

‘And so, I hope that sort of that kind of thing shines through on camera between Carm and Syd.’

As the writer pointed out, the actor was so eager to speak about his co-star that ‘he made time to talk to me within a day of being asked—which never, ever happens’.

‘Syd is always able to…I don’t know, to deliver something different to Carmy, and she’s usually right,” he adds. “And I guess I think Ayo is also usually right,’ Jeremy continued.

Speaking about their relationship, Ayo then shared: ‘Work can be a very intimate thing and a very personal thing and a very emotional thing, and I think when you’re also in industries that are creative or creative adjacent, I think there’s something that also invokes feelings of passion.

‘Also, boy’s got some beautiful blue eyes. You know what I mean? Those are eyes you want to project onto,’ she added.

But when shown a snaps of Jeremy’s shirtless Calvin Klein photoshoot backstage at the 2024 Golden Globes, she said: ‘I just, I’m happy for him. That’s my boy, you know what I mean? I do feel like … I want people to understand he’s my co-worker!’

Despite fans throwing their support behind the pair becoming a real-life coupling, Jeremy is actually dating Spanish singer Rosalía, 31.

In February, Ayo sparked speculation she was dating Paul Mescal after they shared a photo in a stairwell celebrating St Patrick’s Day together.

However fans then shared they believed the pair were instead working on an upcoming project together and wanted to tease the news.

The Bear season 3 is streaming from June 27 on Disney Plus.
