(MAINNEWS) – Matthew Lawrence and Chili were spotted kissing and hugging after he picked her up from the Los Angeles airport on Tuesday.
The “Boy Meets World” alum, 43, could also be seen opening the TLC singer’s car door before hopping back into the driver seat and continuing to be affectionate with one another.

The very public display of affection comes two months after Chili — whose real name is Rozonda Thomas — confirmed that they were dating with an Instagram video of them dancing in matching pajamas.
In fact, her rep, Cristal Jordan, told Page Six at the time, “I’ve been with Chilli since 2005 and I’ve never seen her this in love. She is glowing. They are really cute together.”
The singer’s rep also revealed to TMZ that the pair has been friends for years but things only turned romantic over Thanksgiving.

The new couple went on to spend the holidays together in Atlanta and Chili, 52, even introduced Lawrence to her family over Christmas.
The “Mrs. Doubtfire” actor and the “Waterfalls” singer — whom he has called “one of the most spectacular people” — first sparked dating rumors when they were spotted on a Hawaiian beach last August.
However, her rep denied that they were more than friends, explaining that Chili was there for a show and they had linked up to have fun with other friends.
The “Brotherly Love” alum’s new romance comes on the heels of his divorce from his ex-wife, Cheryl Burke.

Last September, the “Dancing With the Stars” pro, 38, and Lawrence finalized their divorce after three years of marriage, agreeing to divide their properties evenly.
After Chili and Lawrence’s new romance went public, Burke seemingly shaded her ex-husband for moving on so “fast.”
Chili, for her part, has never been married but has been in high-profile relationships with Usher and music producer Dallas Austin.
The Grammy-winning singer and Austin are parents to their 25-year-old son, Tron.
