The Bear fans love Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White‘s on-screen chemistry and are curious about their alleged off-screen romance, fueled by their evident closeness. Recently, White won the Emmy for the lead actor in a comedy series for The Bear and accepted the honor with a heartwarming speech. Edebiri got a bit emotional when Allen expressed his love and respect for all his cast members. Following this, many are interested in whether the rumors about White dating Edebiri are true.
Are Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White dating?
The rumors are false. Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White aren’t dating.
The dating rumors stemmed earlier this year when they attended a Chicago Cubs game with other cast members amidst filming. A recorded social media clip saw them sitting close to each other with White’s hand on Edebiri’s back. He further gently rubs her back in the clip, garnering viral responses from fans and eventually igniting dating rumors. Many fans speculated that they aren’t just friends but more than that.
However, the duo set the records straight on their current relationship status in an interview for a Vanity Fair cover story. White admitted that they are fond of each other’s company and that he respects her as a human and artist.
“And so I hope that sort of that kind of thing shines through on camera between Carm and Syd. Syd is always able to… I don’t know, to deliver something different to Carmy, and she’s usually right. And I guess I think Ayo is also usually right,” he further added.
Edebiri elaborated on the nature of creative work and how it often evokes passion in individuals. “Work can be a very intimate thing and a very personal thing and a very emotional thing, and I think when you’re also in industries that are creative or creative adjacent, I think there’s something that also invokes feelings of passion,” she said. Moreover, she also appreciated the wonderful blue eyes of White. Despite White and Edebiri speaking highly of one another and being spotted together, their lovely connection likely remains professional and friendly.
