AceShowbiz - Chilli and Matthew Lawrence are giving evidence of their romance in plain sight. The TLC singer and the actor are clearly in love as evidenced by their public display of affection during their recent sighting at LAX.
On Tuesday, February 28, the "Boy Meets World" alum was on boyfriend duty as he picked up his girlfriend at the Los Angeles airport. The two were more than happy to be reunited as he greeted her with a long hug and kiss on the lips.
After helping Chilli, whose real name is Rozonda Thomas, with her luggage, Matthew opened the door for her before hopping in the driver's seat. Once inside the car, the pair exchanged more hugs and kisses as they were all smiles.
Chilli and Matthew confirmed they are an item in January after sparking dating rumors in August 2022. The two made their romance official over New Year's weekend by sharing a video on their Instagram accounts of them dancing in matching Christmas pajamas.
Her rep Christal Jordan confirmed to PEOPLE at the time, "I've been with Chilli since 2005 and I've never seen her this in love. She is glowing. They are really cute together." Jordan added that the 43-year-old actor and the "Waterfalls" singer spent Thanksgiving and Christmas in Atlanta, where he met Chilli's family.
Their relationship came after Matthew got a divorce from Cheryl Burke. Despite the dancer's apparent shade at her former husband over his romance with the singer, it was said that although the pair did know each other before his split from Cheryl, they were not pursuing each other until after the "Dancing with the Stars" pro filed for divorce from her then-estranged husband last February.
Chilli and Matthew reconnected in March, a month after Cheryl filed for divorce, at a '90s convention. But even then they reportedly waited a while before jumping into anything serious due to Matthew being fresh out of his marriage. Their divorce was finalized in September 2022.
