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
Evans and Melissa Stratton reportedly began DMing each other in NovemberShe shared photos with him at the Super Bowl, but he has been more reservedEvans is known for interviewing stars over tear-inducing hot wings
He’s known for getting his celebrity interview guests to bare their souls — and eviscerate their taste buds — while munching on 10 increasingly spicy chicken wings.
And Hot Ones host Sean Evans isn’t afraid of turning up the heat in his personal life either, as he is reportedly dating a porn star.
The 37-year-old YouTuber has been linked with the 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 to Stratton on social media, but she has shared multiple photos of the two looking cozy together, including pictures indicating that they attended the Super Bowl together.
DailyMail.com has reached out to a representative for Evans requesting comment.
Hot Ones host Sean Evans, 37, is dating the 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 to Instagram that primarily focused on him and his celebrity pals, though Melissa was pictured smiling in the background of one photo at a bar.
However, she was more explicit on her X (formerly Twitter) account; she posted a photo of herself beaming and posing with Sean in front of a Super Bowl LVIII backdrop.
The talk show host wrapped an arm around her, while she showed off a wide smile and rested a hand affectionately on his shoulder.
On her own social accounts, Melissa posted a snap of herself cozying up to Sean in the same bar she was just barely glimpsed at in his post.
The interviewer appeared to only post photos of himself from inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, where the big game was held, but Melissa shared photos of herself in the stadium wearing a red Kansas City jersey, and another social media user shared a photo of the two sitting next to each other in a VIP box and grinning for the camera.
The photos were relatively chaste, but the adult performer included some affectionate captions, including one post of the two together from the day before the Superbowl that she captioned: ‘The hottest 🔥 @seanseaevans.’
Sean’s lack of posts about Melissa may not imply anything sinister, as his social accounts are primarily devoted to promoting his popular talk show Hot Ones, so he may just want to keep them business focused.
Although none of the posts 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 starting chatting on social media back in November, building up to their first in-person meeting toward the end of 2023.
Things seem to be getting more serious, and the two have since spent time together across the US in major cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, and now Las Vegas.
The sources added that Melissa hails from Kansas City and is a major fan of the Kansas City Chiefs — who beat the San Francisco 49ers 25–22 in a nail-biter 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 prominently featuring her
Sources say the two began chatting online in November and met up later in 2023. Since then, they met up across the US in Chicago, LA, and now Las Vegas; seen 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 trying to eat 10 chicken wings, each of which is doused with progressively spicier sauce; seen doing mini version of his show on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2017
It’s unclear whether Sean and Melissa think they’re in a relationship, or if they’re just having some 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 that are covered in increasingly spicy sauces, and some of his more delicate guests aren’t able to make it all the way to the final — hottest — wing.
Although he has been criticized for his allegedly robotic delivery and sometimes perfunctory questions, fans have defended him and the show as being able to get unguarded answers from stars who are usually much less willing to share their true feelings to other interviewers.
