Drew Carey and OnlyFans star Niki Skyler were recently spotted together but the pair have a history.
Carey, 66, and Skyler, 37, grabbed lunch at Swingers Diner in Los Angeles on Thursday, April 17, according to photos obtained by The Daily Mail. The Price Is Right host kept it casual by sporting a navy plaid shirt, dark jeans and sneakers. The model opted for a black tank top and baggy pants.
The twosome’s outing quickly fueled romance rumors, but a source exclusively tells Us Weekly that Carey and Skyler’s connection is platonic and goes way back.
“They are just friends and have been friends for a long time,” the insider says, noting that Carey and Skyler have known each other for around 10 years.
Earlier this year, Carey told Us that he wasn’t looking for a romantic partner after the death of ex-fiancée Amie Harwick. Carey and Harwick got engaged in 2018 but called it quits later that year. Following their breakup, the twosome remained friends. In 2020, Harwick was murdered at age 38. Her ex-boyfriend Gareth Pursehouse pleaded not guilty but was convicted of her murder in 2023. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
“It destroyed me for a while. I still don’t date,” Carey told Us exclusively in February. “I have women I go out with and spend time with, but it’s all platonic, and I don’t care about anything else. Amie’s death really affected everything.”

Following Harwick’s funeral, several of her friends reached out to Carey to tell him that she truly “loved” and “cared” for him.
“I was so moved by it. They’ve now become some of my best friends,” he recalled. “I also got to reconnect with her mother, father and brother. We held each other up through the funeral and the trial. Now Amie’s memory and the things she lived for keep us going.”
As Carey continues to navigate life without Harwick, he has a close-knit group of friends to count on and help him through the tough times.
“I have this great female friend group that I cherish, and I’m godfather to several sets of kids from the group,” he shared. “We hang out together, went on vacation together and we talk to each other every day. That’s the biggest blessing in my life right now.”
Skyler, for her part, has kept her love life low-key. However, when she was named Penthouse’s Pet of the Month in April 2017, she revealed that she is bisexual.
“I actually check out women more than men,” she told the outlet while noting she likes “having sex with men more than women.”
