Anderson .Paak and Jeannie Mai were caught on video getting close at the singer's West Hollywood restaurant, Andy's, just ahead of Valentine's Day. The sighting comes after both finalized high-profile divorces in 2024. .Paak downplayed the moment in a comment on the footage.
Oh honey, the celebrity dating rumor mill is churning again! Anderson .Paak, the nine-time Grammy winner, and Jeannie Mai, the former talk show host, were spotted cozying up at .Paak's retro-supper-club, Andy's, in West Hollywood on Tuesday, February 10. Footage obtained by TMZ shows the pair in a private booth, with .Paak's arm around Mai as he leans in to whisper something—sparking whispers of a potential new romance. 💥
Both have been through the wringer lately. .Paak filed for divorce from his wife of 13 years, Jae Lin, in 2024; they share two sons. Mai, meanwhile, split from rapper Jeezy after three years of marriage, finalizing in June 2024 amid a messy legal battle involving allegations of domestic violence and child endangerment. They share a four-year-old daughter, Monaco, and agreed to joint custody and an undisclosed settlement. Mai's been candid about the heartbreak, telling podcast host Danielle Robay on Question Everything that divorce feels like 'experiencing death alive.' She elaborated, 'There’s no way to understand that feeling of space shared with somebody and all of a sudden it closing in, to where you even wonder if you can trust yourself in your thoughts because one day you had a plan and you had these thoughts and then suddenly it becomes something else.' 😩
.Paak isn't shying away from the spotlight either. He commented under TMZ's Instagram video: 'I was literally just telling her the plot of my new movie k-pops dropping February 27th exclusively at amc theaters nationwide.' Smooth pivot, Andy! This comes after rumors linked him to Mariah Carey, who teased their vibe in a late 2025 Gayle King interview: 'He just likes to hold my hand... it’s something special.' They even collabed on her September 2025 album track 'Play This Song,' but now? Looks like that hand-holding might be on hold. Mai's previous marriage to Freddy Harteis ended in 2018 after 11 years.
Is this just friendly chit-chat or the start of something steamy? With both fresh out of splits, eyes are peeled. Spill more tea if you know! 👀
