According to the U.S. Sun, sources close to the couple revealed that the two celebrities bonded over their shared experiences of past bereavement. While Kelis seemingly opted not to confirm the dating rumors surrounding them head-on, insiders shed light on the deeper connection between the two.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the "Bossy" singer and the "Ghostbusters" actor reportedly found solace in one another due to their profound losses. Both have faced personal tragedies, which created an unspoken understanding between them.
Kelis, who lost her photographer husband, Mike Mora, last year, has been open about the impact the loss had on her life. Mora battled Stage 4 stomach cancer for six months before succumbing to the disease.
Murray, on his part, mourned the loss of his ex-wife, Jennifer Butler, following her unexpected death in 2021. The veteran actor split from Butler in 2008 after more than a decade together.
"...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," the source told the U.S. Sun.
