Ghostbusters Star Bill Murray, 72, Is D@ting Milkshake Singer Kelis Who Is 43
Bill Murray is dating the almost 30 years younger Milkshake singer Kelis, as revealed by The US Sun. The Ghostbusters star, who is 72 years old, watched the 43-year-old mother of three perform in London last weekend from the side of the stage. He had also been seen at her other recent shows.
According to our sources, the two were staying at the same hotel and have been “getting close for a while” after initially meeting in their home country of the United States.
Since Kelis’s second husband passed away in March of last year and Bill’s estranged wife passed away in 2021, rumors have circulated that the two have grown close.
While Kelis was performing at the Mighty Hoopla festival in Brockwell Park, South London, Bill was there to take a picture. Backstage, the two also posed for a cute photo together.
A friend stated, “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 caught a few of Kelis’s performances, including Millionaire, Bossy, and Trick Me, as well as her breakthrough single, which had the now-iconic lyric “My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.” Check out the official tweet posted by Complex in which Kelis and Bill Murray are rumored to be d@ting.

God is so good, because being pregnant — I probably would have stayed longer had I not been pregnant. Because I really did love him and we were married.”
