In news sure to plunge you deep into your nostalgic feels, TLC singer Chilli is dating actor and former child star Matthew Lawrence.
The 51-year-old singer – whose real name is Rozonda Thomas – got together with the Brotherly Love and Mrs Doubtfire actor just before Thanksgiving, after they were previously photographed on a beach together in Hawaii in August.
According to Christal Jordan, the Waterfalls hitmaker’s representative, the couple spent both Thanksgiving and Christmas together in Atlanta, where the 42-year-old star met his new girlfriend’s family.
As a member of TLC, Chilli is part of the bestselling US girl group of all time, with 65 million records sold and a run of number ones in the 1990s, while Matthew found fame as a younster, starting on Dynasty before heading into movies and making the TV show Brotherly Love with his real-life siblings, Andrew and Joey Lawrence.
The new couple made their romance official over New Year’s weekend, sharing a video on their Instagram accounts of them dancing in matching Christmas pyjamas.
Chilli and Matthew looked to be having fun together as they threw some shapes along to A-ha’s classic tune Take On Me – complete with a sketchbook design filter to match the iconic song’s 1984 music video.
