Are you wondering what the truth is behind the rumors that Molly Qerim is dating Stephen A. Smith? Their chemistry on ESPN’s First Take has sparked countless rumors, leaving fans curious about whether there’s more than just a professional relationship between the two.
So, with speculations continuing to make rounds, here’s everything you need to know about the Molly Qerim dating rumors and if there’s any truth behind them.
Are Molly Qerim and Stephen A. Smith dating?
No, Qerim and Smith aren’t dating and the rumors are false.
Earlier this year, Smith debunked the dating rumors about him and Qerim on ESPN’s First Talk show. This happened when another host, Chris Russo pointed out Qerim and Smith’s twinning white outfits. He funnily said that their similar color dressing made them look like a married couple.
Smith quickly clarified that the dating rumors were baseless and exaggerated, stating that these assumptions have persisted for a few years. “Here’s the upside to all of that: they know my taste. So, therefore, they know that’s a compliment to her. And, obviously, she has great taste as well, so I guess that’s America’s way of saying we both really really look good,” he adds.
Qerim agreed and stated that she thinks the funniest part was people blindly believing these dating rumors. Looking at the good side, Smith believed that their impressive looks and on-screen chemistry also contributed to First Talk’s success, aside from content. Their dating rumors got so out of hand that even Russo was asked about the alleged couple’s whereabouts. (via New York Post)
