AceShowbiz - "Grey's Anatomy" actor Jesse Williams is rumored to be dating 26-year-old SportsNet New York anchor Taylor Rooks. The two were spotted together at Kevin Hart's comedy show at Broadwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Memorial Day weekend.
Strangely, Jesse and Taylor were rumored to have stayed at the Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City before its opening next month. The couple was the only two guests in the hotel with 1,400 rooms. But this rumor was shot down by sources who are close to the TV star.
According to PageSix's insider, Jesse has moved on with the anchor after going through difficult divorce from Aryn Drake-Lee. "They are eager to keep their romance under wraps. He's been going through a difficult divorce, but he's found solace with Taylor," said the source.
Besides her career on SportsNet New York, Taylor has developed a strong media presence with her YouTube show and podcast entitled "TimeOut with Taylor Rooks", where she interviewed big names such as Dwayne Wade and Meek Mill. She's also worked for CBS sports network.
Previously, in July 2017, Jesse was romantically linked to Minka Kelly. After he split from Aryn, some fans accused Jesse left his wife for Minka, whom he had worked together to provide voiceover for a video game just before the divorce filing in April 2017. The actor then fired back to the fans through Jay-Z's video "Footnotes from 4:44".
"I was in a relationship 13 years, 13 real years, not 5 years, not 7 years, 13 years and all of a sudden mother f***ers are writing think pieces that I somehow threw a 13-year relationship," Jesse said. "like the most painful experience I've had in my life like with a person I've loved with all my heart -- that I threw a person and my family in the trash because a girl I work with is cute."
