Well, wouldn’t you know that Shemar Moore and Phaedra Parks aren’t dating after all. 

Who doesn’t remember Phaedra Parks’ appearance on Watch What Happens Live last year where she got cozy with Shemar Moore? It was epic. It also spawned a lot of rumors that Phaedra and Shemar are a couple now and that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

It turns out that the S.W.A.T. star isn’t dating Phaedra. He doesn’t even know her!

Rumors that Phaedra and Shemar heated up again after the former RHOA star posted a picture of them together on Instagram. In referencing his new show, Phaedra wrote, “The look on #bae face when you tell him tonight is your night 💫 @swatcbs premieres on @cbstv & @globaltv @10/9c #1#babygirl Tune in! Set your DVR!”

It turns out that Shemar is NOT Phaedra’s bae. He even told E! News that he’s single and only met Phaedra Parks that one time on WWHL. 

“This thing, it’s crazy to me, I just woke up, like last week and everybody’s like, ‘Phaedra, Phaedra, Phaedra,'” he said. “And look, I met Phaedra doing a nighttime talk show with Andy Cohen and Andy Cohen does this thing late at night and he likes to get you to drink. And so you’re loose and you have fun on his show.”

“So I walked in and I saw Phaedra and I know who Phaedra- I’ve heard of Phaedra and she was looking like…and so she looked at me and I kinda had this sense of like, ‘Oh, she thinks I’m the guy from The Young and the Restless‘ or ‘She thinks I’m a certain Shemar.’ And I said, ‘Well, I’m gonna introduce you to a different kind of Shemar,'” he said.

“So I just decided to have a good time and she was such a good sport and we played and we flirted and we got our little kissy face on. And then that went viral and that’s the first and the last time that I’ve ever seen or met Phaedra.”

Based on what Shemar Moore had to say about his Phaedra Parks meeting and the dating rumors that won’t die now, it doesn’t sound like he’s too excited. On the other hand, Phaedra seems to want Shemar to be romantically interested in her and has even dropped hints about it.

Phaedra even claimed coyly a few months back that she was unattached but that she was talking to someone that Andy connected her with. She claims to have spoken with him a few times and acted really shy when asked if it was Shemar Moore.

The former Criminal Minds star might want to keep an eye out for Phaedra. She’s known for making things up, which it looks like she’s trying to do again here. This is not how to win the heart of any man.
