Chris Rock and Lake Bell made headlines again after their latest joint outing.
Mail Online said that the two celebrities fueled the dating speculations as witnesses spotted them together. They were seen leaving the famed Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica on Saturday.
As reported, the 57-year-old comedian and the 43-year-old actress arrived at the Italian eatery before 9 in the evening. They left the venue about two hours later, with sources claiming they held hands until they saw photographers waiting outside.
Page Six was the first to report the outing Sunday. It also released exclusive photos of the celebrity duo as they headed out of the restaurant.
The publication stated that Chris Rock donned a white sweater with matching pants. He accessorized the ensemble with brown dress shoes, while a pair of aviator sunglasses was tucked into his shirt.
As for Lake Bell, she was said to have worn an all-black outfit. The wrap top reportedly featured a plunging neckline that came well with her black jeans.
The outlet later noted that reps for the two celebrities did not immediately respond to its requests for comment. Accordingly, it remains unclear what the relationship status is between them.
Chris Rock and Lake Bell first sparked dating speculations after watching a Cardinals game at Busch Stadium together earlier in June. TMZ released a video of the outing, showing the two personalities in a box together.
The outlet noted that there were “no signs of PDA during the outing.” It argued, however, that the pair were “definitely sitting together,” adding that they “seemed interested in maintaining a relatively low profile.”
A source also told the publication that the comedian did an interview at one point during the outing. But, the “It’s Complicated” actress reportedly stepped away to avoid being included in the shot.
Chris Rock rarely talks about his personal life. But, Cheat Sheet previously reported that he was once married to Malaak Compton-Rock for about two decades.
The two personalities reportedly decided to part ways and legally separate in 2014. The finalization of their divorce occurred two years later, with reports saying the process cost the "Grown-Ups" actor millions of dollars.
Lake Bell was also once married. She and Scott Campbell tied the knot in 2013 but ended their seven-year marriage before the COVID-19 pandemic.
She had a partner more than a year after the split, according to a separate report from Mail Online.
