Hot Ones host Sean Evans keeps his personal life as spicy as his show as he dates a PORN STAR – and they attended the Super Bowl together
He is known for getting his celebrity interview guests to bare their souls – and strip their taste buds – as they tuck into ten increasingly spicy chicken wings.
And Hot Ones host Sean Evans isn’t afraid to turn up the heat in his personal life either, as he’s reportedly dating a porn star.
The 37-year-old YouTuber has been linked to adult actress and webcam performer Melissa Stratton, TMZ reported on Tuesday.
Evans has seemingly kept the budding romance under wraps and has avoided sharing his connection with Stratton on social media, but she has shared multiple photos of the two looking cozy together, including photos that indicate they attended the Super Bowl together.
DailyMail.com has contacted a representative for Evans seeking comment.
Hot Ones host Sean Evans, 37, is dating porn star Melissa Stratton, sources told TMZ on Tuesday; seen together on Saturday February 10

Sean shared several photos from the Saturday before the Super Bowl on Instagram that mainly focused on him and his famous friends, although Melissa was pictured smiling in the background of one photo at a bar.
However, she was more explicit on her X account (formerly Twitter); she posted a photo of herself beaming and posing with Sean in front of a Super Bowl LVIII backdrop.
The talk show host put an arm around her as she flashed a broad smile and placed a loving hand on his shoulder.
On her own social accounts, Melissa posted a photo of herself cozying up with Sean at the same bar she barely caught a glimpse of in his post.
It seemed like the interviewer only posted photos of herself from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, where the big game was held, but Melissa shared photos of herself at the stadium, wearing a red Kansas City jersey, and another user from social media shared a photo of the match. two sit next to each other in a VIP box and grin at the camera.
The photos were relatively chaste, but the adult performer added some loving captions, including a post of the two together from the day before the Superbowl that was captioned, “The hottest 🔥 @seanseaevans.”
Sean’s lack of posts about Melissa may not imply anything sinister, as his social accounts are mainly dedicated to promoting his hit talk show Hot Ones, so perhaps he just wants to keep them business-focused.
While none of the messages made it explicit that the two are an item, sources with direct knowledge claimed to TMZ that Evans and Stratton are dating.
According to them, the two public figures started chatting on social media as early as November, ahead of their first face-to-face meeting in late 2023.
Things appear to be getting more serious and the two have since spent time together in the US in major cities including Chicago, Los Angeles and now Las Vegas.
The sources added that Melissa is from Kansas City and is a big fan of the Kansas City Chiefs — who defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in a nail-biting overtime session — which is partly why Sean invited her to the big game .
Melissa was seen at Super Bowl LVIII with the YouTuber, and she shared several photos of the two hanging out throughout the weekend, though Sean didn’t post any photos that prominently featured her.
Sources say the two started chatting online in November and later met in 2023. Since then they met in the US in Chicago, LA and now Las Vegas; appearing January 27 at the 2024 Adult Video News Awards in Vegas with Codey Steel (L) and Hime Marie (R)
Evans is known for hosting Hot Ones, where his guests answer his questions while attempting to eat 10 chicken wings, each doused in increasingly spicy sauce; seen during the mini version of his show on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2017
It’s unclear if Sean and Melissa think they’re in a relationship, or if they’re just having fun dating for now.
The Hot Ones host has become a fan favorite in recent years, partly due to the gimmicky nature of his show.
Celebrities answer his questions while eating chicken wings covered in increasingly spicy sauces, and some of his more delicate guests fail to reach the last – hottest – wing.
While he has been criticized for his supposedly robotic performance and sometimes perfunctory questions, fans have defended him and the show for allowing him to get unguarded answers from stars who are typically far less willing to share their true feelings with other interviewers.
