In 1999, TLC member Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas instituted a “No Scrubs” policy, and now, more than two decades later, she found a guy who certainly isn’t trying to holla while “hangin’ out the passenger side of his best friend’s ride.” When Nicki Swift polled 5,300 pop culture fans to see which recent celeb odd couple shocked them the most, it was “Boy Meets World” star Matthew Lawrence and his CrazySexyCool girlfriend, whose double dose of ’90s nostalgia helped them earn an impressive 49% of the vote. Pete Davidson still managed to surprise 21% of respondents by dating Chase Sui Wonders, while Scottie Pippen’s ex, Larsa Pippen, and Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus Jordan, scored 13% of the vote. Bringing up the rear was Angela Simmons and Yo Gotti (11%), followed by Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes (6%).
Lawrence, who was previously married to “Dancing With the Stars” pro Cheryl Burke, was first spotted chillin’ with Chilli in Hawaii last August. The TLC singer famously dated Usher for two years, with the musical pair calling it quits in 2003.

Speaking to People in January, Chilli’s representative, Christal Jordan, said that what the singer and Lawrence have appears to be the real deal. “I’ve been with Chilli since 2005 and I’ve never seen her this in love,” Jordan revealed. “She is glowing. They are really cute together.” Just as long as they aren’t “movin’ too faaast.”
