Bill, a father of six from his previous marriages, has been seen attending several of Kelis' concerts overseas, and reports claim that they have bonded over shared experiences of recent bereavements.
The dating rumors come more than a year after Kelis' husband, Mike Mora, tragically passed away in March 2022 following a battle with stomach cancer. He was just 37 years old. The couple had two children together, son Shepherd, 7, and daughter Galilee, 2. Additionally, Kelis has a son named Knight, 13, from her previous marriage to rapper Nas.

Meanwhile, Bill has faced his own share of personal loss. He lost his older brother Ed in 2020 and his second wife, Jennifer Butler, in 2021
The Ghostbusters actor is a proud father to sons Caleb, 30, Jackson, 27, Cooper, 26, and Lincoln, 22, from his marriage to Jennifer. He also has two sons, Homer, 41, and Luke, 38, from his first marriage to Margaret Kelly.

“It would be nice to go to some of these things and have a date… to have someone to bring along [to George Clooney’s wedding],” he said. “But there’s a lot that I am not doing that I need to do, [like] working on yourself or self-development or something… becoming more connected to myself.”
Bill has recently faced serious allegations of inappropriate behavior on set. In April, the production of the film Being Mortal was temporarily halted after Bill was accused of throwing a glass ashtray at co-star Richard Dreyfuss and threatening the film's female producer. He was also accused of making inappropriate advances towards multiple women during the filming of the movie, helmed by Aziz Ansari.
Bill addressed the allegations the following month, acknowledging that he had a difference of opinion with a female colleague and that something he intended as humorous was not well received. He expressed his regret and maintained that he strives to learn and grow from such experiences.
