Stephen A. Smith on espn set. Molly Qerim in dress on set
Stephen A. Smith and Molly Qerim aren’t helping defuse relationship allegations, as fans believe they are truly dating each other.

Smith and Qerim have worked together since July 2015 when Qerim took up the moderator position from Cari Champion. A year after she was made a permanent part of the ESPN sports debate show, she began dating Jalen Rose. Both got married in 2018, but the relationship did not last long. In 2021, the NBA analyst filed for divorce.

During the divorce, rumors swirled that Smith played a part in Qerim and Rose’s separation and soon speculation surfaced that the two of them were dating.

Since then, Rose has been let go from ESPN, and the rumors have ramped up as Smith and Qerim seemingly get more flirtatious as time passes.

We can now add one more moment that will fuel speculation between the two.

One video shows Smith playfully mocking his co-host as he walks around the set.

This led to major rumors:

This wasn’t the first time Smith and Qerim’s actions could be taken as flirtatious and it will never stop the rumors until both of them come out and state otherwise.
