Is Ann Coulter dating Jimmie Walker?

According to famed television producer, Norman Lear, the answer is yes! During a recent interview "black-ish" creator Kanya Barris on behalf of Entertainment Weekly, Lear dropped the unexpected bombshell.

When reflecting on the iconic CBS hit "Good Times," which Lear produced, Barris called Walker's character on the show, J.J., a "phenomenon," to which Lear replied that he "knew that role could make him a star."

And then, he let it slip.

"I love him," he continued. "He's a wonderful guy, but I'll tell you something about him that'll astound you: He dates Ann Coulter."

"No," Barris replied in shock. "No!"

"I've sat with [them] for an entire evening," Lear went on before revealing that the pair has been dating "for some time."

"I am as serious as I can be, and I spent an evening at the same table with them, so I know," Lear said with a laugh. "As we're driving to the dinner, I said, 'Ann Coulter will be at the table.' [And my wife] said, 'I can't sit at the table with Ann Coulter, I will not sit at the table with Ann Coulter.' And Ann Coulter was a dreamy, delicious, sweet person."

As Entertainment Weekly reports, rumors have been quietly swirling for years that Walker, 69, and the controversial conservative commentator, 55, are an item. Coulter has previously denied the claims, noting that the pair are simply close friends.

They've stepped out together on a number of occasions over the years, as well.

Walker holds extremely conservative political views and once famously proclaimed that he didn't vote for Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election and wouldn't be voting for him in the 2012 election, either. Coulter, of course, was a fierce critic of President Obama throughout his two terms as president, so it would seem that their political views more or less align with one another.

Neither Walker nor Coulter has ever been married or had children, though Coulter has been engaged several times.
