Jussie Smollett & Karamo Brown Spark Dating Rumors

Jussie Smollett and Karamo Brown have everyone talking after they were spotted together in L.A.

TMZ reports the stars are dating after they spent the day lunching with Karamo’s mom, running errands, and then hitting the trail at Runyon Canyon.

The site posted pics of the pair, including a PDA moment in which Jussie cupped Karamo’s chin.

Karamo also opened up about his relationship to Carlos King on Tuesday’s episode of the podcast “Reality With the King.”

He didn’t name drop Jussie, but did confirm, “I am dating a celebrity,” and insisted, “It’s not like we’re hiding it. We go out. We hold hands everywhere.”

Brown gushed, “I’ve met my equal. It is powerful when you meet someone who you feel 100 percent safe with, you feel 100 percent secure with. Who you can just trust with your heart because you know they are a great human being.”

He said they are “deep in love” adding, “I do believe this is going to be my husband. I believe this is going to be my forever person. I feel it every single day.”

Karamo shared, “Everything is just easy. We just get each other. It’s constant laughter. It’s constant love. It’s just constant everything.”

He said they aren’t interested in outside opinions about their relationship. Karamo explained, “We don’t want comments. We are protecting the love we have.”

The sighting comes weeks after news broke that Smollett and Jabari Redd reportedly called off their engagement.

At the time, TMZ reported the “Empire” alum was focused on his music career amid the split.

Last summer, Jussie announced their engagement on Instagram.

In a now-deleted post, he wrote, “I’ll be spending my birthday with my Fiancé… He said YES.”

The pair worked together on the 2024 film “The Lost Holiday.”

Its unknown when they started dating, but Jussie appeared on Jabari’s Instagram in 2022.

Karamo reportedly dated photographer Carlos Medel from 2021-2025. The “Queer Eye“ star was previously engaged to Ian Jordan, but they split in 2020.
