Are King Princess and Christine Baranski in a relationship?

Ever since King Princess and Christine Baranski starred together in Nine Perfect Strangers, the duo have been teasing relationship rumors by posing for photographs together and hinting at going on dates. In a conversation with Interview Magazine, Baranski admitted that the duo went on a date and said:

“Our first date—let’s give them something to talk about—we actually got dressed up and finally had dinner. I remember we went to this chic, French-y watering hole. We sat at the bar, ordered our martinis, and suddenly we’re talking about our grandmothers who deeply affected and influenced our lives. I think that’s where we profoundly bonded.”

The pair have always insisted on the close bond that they share, especially owing to the fact that they both have Polish ancestry from the city go Buffalo, as per Interview Magazine. As for when they will publicly announce that they are in a relationship, fans can only wonder.
