- The conversation follows public moments that fueled speculation, including Evans naming Palmer as a crush in 2023, a filmed kiss on Hot Ones in September 2025, and a reported June 12 dinner in Brooklyn.
- Palmer said the rapid public reaction surprised and frustrated her, calling the internet's rush to define their status "parasocial" and urging people to let the situation "cook."
