It looks like The Bear just added some extra heat to the kitchen. Co-stars Jeremy Allen White and Molly Gordon were spotted locking lips in the wild! Yes, you read that right—no cameras, no scripts, just pure, unfiltered PDA. Is this love, or did someone just drop a plate of spaghetti and need emotional support?
The paparazzi, naturally, swooped in faster than Carmy on a burnt risotto. They caught the 33-year-old Emmy magnet Jeremy Allen White—who plays the brooding, pasta-obsessed Chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto—planting a kiss on his co-star, Molly Gordon, who plays Claire, aka “the reason Carmy occasionally stops looking stressed for five seconds.” The smooch went down on Wednesday (September 25) in sunny Los Angeles, and we have to wonder—was it the city of angels that made them do it, or was there a particularly romantic food truck nearby?
But wait—TMZ has the scoop, as always. They made sure to clarify for all you skeptics out there: no, this wasn’t some The Bear scene. This wasn’t for the show. This was for real life, which means we’re officially on high alert for a new Hollywood power couple. Could they be the culinary equivalent of Jay-Z and Beyoncé? Only time (and maybe some sautéed onions) will tell.
After the kiss, in a move that can only be described as chivalry with a side of “Aww,” Jeremy opened the car door for Molly. Does this mean he’s as gentlemanly in real life as he is with his soufflés on the show? Spoiler alert: Probably.
Now, before we get too deep into this soufflé of gossip, let’s not forget that Jeremy was recently linked to none other than Spanish sensation Rosalia. They were still together just a few months ago, leaving us all to wonder: Is this a love triangle or a love tetrahedron? Are we going to need a flowchart to keep track?
Whether it’s a kitchen romance, a random lip-lock, or just two really, really attractive people doing what attractive people do, we’re here for the drama. And the food. Always the food.
