They didn’t seem to pay attention to onlookers and just gazed into each other’s eyes at one point, proving their bond is a close one.

Before their relationship, Matthew was married to Cheryl from 2019 until 2022 and Chill was previously involved in a romance with Usher from 2001 until 2004. She was also romantically involved with music producer Dallas Austin, with whom she shares son Tron Austin, 25. Matthew described his new girlfriend as “really special.” during a recent interview. “My life is in complete bloom right now,” he told ET on March 3. “I get to spend time with an amazing woman like Chilli. I’ve never gotten to be able to experience that kind of relationship before. She’s really, really special.”
