The unlikely pairing are believed to have been "getting close for a while" after originally meeting in the United States.

They continued: "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 [in South London].

Murray recently mourned his ex-wife Jennifer Butler, who he separated from in 2008 and died in 2021.

Meanwhile, Kelis lost her husband last year.

According to the insider, this may have brought the two together.

"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," they claimed.
