The Spicy Reunion

"When I'm dying and my life flashes before my eyes, I'll have that snapshot," - Sean Evans after the kiss.
How the Crush Unfolded
The revelation of Evans' crush on Palmer first surfaced during his appearance on Amelia Dimoldenberg's Chicken Shop Date in November 2023. When asked if he had ever crushed on a guest, Evans admitted that he had, eventually revealing it was Palmer who had captured his attention. "Very charming, she's a very charming woman," he said at the time.
Palmer responded to the news then by posting the interview on Instagram with a caption that quipped: "It was love at first hot wing."
Palmer's Perspective
Palmer further discussed Evans' affection in an interview with People, stating, "I was living for it," and referencing her and the host's "good chemistry" on the 2021 episode. She added, "I knew the vibes were vibing."
Future Prospects?
