Bill Murray, 72, is reportedly dating Kelis, 43: they’re ‘meeting up in London’

Bill Murray is just one of those celebrities. He’s one of those (white) guys who gets away with it. He gets away with treating costars like garbage and people still hire him. He gets away with harassing Geena Davis and verbally abusing Lucy Liu and people just selectively ignore their stories. He gets away with getting fired for putting his hands on unconsenting women and he still gets asked to do another Ghostbusters movie. So, Bill Murray is in London, filming a new Ghostbusters movie. While in London, he went to a music festival, which is where he ran into Kelis. They were photographed together backstage at her show, and now the Sun claims that they’re dating.

Hollywood superstar Bill Murray has struck up an unlikely romance with Milkshake singer Kelis — who is almost 30 years his junior. The Ghostbusters actor, 72, watched the mum of three, 43, perform from the side of the stage in London last weekend – having also been spotted at her other recent shows.

Sources say the pair were also together at the same hotel, and have been “getting close for a while” after first meeting in their native US. They have reportedly bonded since Kelis’s second husband died in March last year, while Bill’s estranged wife passed away in 2021.

Father-of-six Bill was pictured during Kelis’s set at the Mighty Hoopla festival in Brockwell Park, South London. The pair also posed for a cosy snap backstage.

A friend said: “They’ve met up in the States before which got people in the industry talking, and now are meeting up in London while they’re both here. They’ve clearly hit it off. They were both seen at the same hotel, and he’s been to watch her perform several times before he went to Mighty Hoopla. 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.”

Bill is currently filming a sequel to the classic Ghostbusters franchise in London, which sees him reprise his role as Peter Venkman alongside many of the original cast from the 1984 blockbuster. Off screen, his second wife Jennifer Butler accused him of domestic ­abuse and sex, marijuana and ­alcohol addictions — as well as ­infidelity — during their marriage. The costume designer filed for divorce in 2008, but the pair are understood to have remained in touch before her death in 2021.

Yeah, I doubt this is real. I think they met and they were probably nice to each other and had a conversation, but this feels more like the Sun’s editorial staff just making up a story to go along with the photos. In any case, I HOPE Kelis isn’t dating Bill Murray. She’s had so much drama and tragedy in her life and she’s had bad luck with men. She doesn’t need Bill Murray’s crap.
