Rumor has it that the "Lost in Translation" actor is dating Kelis after the singer lost her husband more than a year ago. When reports of their pairing circulated on social media, netizens immediately shared their opinions about it.

Some netizens supported Bill Murray and Kelis after reading the rumors, while others thought the singer had made the wrong move. Their reported love for each other wasn't something everyone liked.

One netizen said, "This ain't that bad at their ages. Bill is a charming guy when he wants to be," while another commented, "She's cute, and he's a wrinkle. But they look happy together."

Upon learning that the couple was allegedly dating, people couldn't help but notice their age gap. It wasn't usual for them to see a 43-year-old woman date a 72-year-old man.

"It is normal. She is 43 years old, but looking and acting so beautiful and younger… The problem is that Bill Murray looks terrible…" a netizen commented on a Facebook post regarding the rumors.

The couple was reportedly seen together on multiple occasions recently, and they have something in common―their partners passed away. While people talked about the couple, the "Milkshake" singer finally reacted to the rumors days after they began circulating.

What Happened to Kelis' Husband?

Kelis secretly tied the knot with the photographer and real estate agent Mike Mora in 2014. A year later, the couple welcomed their first child, which was Kelis' second baby, after she gave birth to her first with her ex-husband, Nas.

In 2020, the couple welcomed their second child, a daughter, and shared the news with their fans on Instagram. The family enjoyed living on a farm in Temecula, California, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Everything was going great in the couple's life until the doctors told Mora he had cancer. The scary diagnosis turned the couple's life upside down because the doctors told him he had only 1.5 years to live.

A year later, Mora shared on Instagram that he had stage 4 stomach cancer, and his fans were shocked to learn that the disease was only spreading in his body. Mora breathed his last in March 2022, leaving behind his grieving wife and children.

A year after her husband's death, Kelis opened up on Instagram about her feelings, saying she was a "private person" who never talked about her personal life on social media. She revealed:

"But there is no denying the impact and evolution my husband's passing has had on my life."

Kelis shared that losing her husband made her learn more about fitness and staying healthy. She understood how the human body is connected to emotions while she dealt with her irreplaceable loss.

Who Was Bill Murray's Ex-Wife and What Did Kelis Say about the Rumors?

While Kelis lost her husband, Murray's ex-wife passed away in January 2021. The "Rushmore" actor tied the knot with Jennifer Butler in 1997 after having an affair with her while he was still married.

The couple remained together until 2008 before Butler filed for divorce with some serious allegations against her husband. After their marriage ended, Murray did not tie the knot with anyone else.

He had four sons with Butler and two with his ex-wife, Margaret Kelly. The man did not even publicly date another woman after his divorce from his second wife.

In January 2021, Butler suddenly passed away at 54. In her obituary, she was honored as a "woman of principle" and a "fiercely loyal mother." Murray never made it to the news for being with another woman after her death until now.

When Kelis recently uploaded a photo on Instagram posing for the camera in a bikini on a beach, a fan asked her about the rumors regarding her relationship with Murray.
