For the past year, sports fans have been buzzing with speculation about the chemistry between Kay Adams and Shams Charania when they’re not on camera. This speculation is fueled by their dynamic and playful interactions on FanDuel TV’s “Up & Adams,” where they share the spotlight and seem to genuinely enjoy each other’s company.
A few months ago, the rumors reached a peak when Charania appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” and was directly asked if he was dating Adams. Charania gave a diplomatic answer, skillfully dancing around the question without giving anything away. What he did say, however, made his admiration for Adams abundantly clear.
“That’s a great colleague of mine. I think she’s amazing,” Charania said. “I think she’s amazing at what she does. I enjoy going on her show. Obviously, she has, to me—like with you, similarly, you make me feel comfortable when I’m on your show. She makes me feel very comfortable. We saw the Super Bowl together. We were in the suite. We were in the FanDuel suite.” His praise was genuine, but it left just enough ambiguity to keep the rumor mill churning.
Fast forward to Halloween week, and the mystery surrounding their relationship took an amusing turn. Adams and Charania might have amazing on-screen chemistry, but it turns out their tastes differ—especially when it comes to Halloween candy, and it seems that might be enough to prevent any potential romance.
On a recent episode of “Up & Adams,” Adams asked Charania to share his top three Halloween candies. It was an innocent enough question, but Charania’s answer quickly took a surprising turn. Without hesitation, Charania declared that his favorite Halloween candy was Almond Joy. Adams, taken aback, couldn’t help but react with disbelief.
“Oh my god. Just stop,” Adams exclaimed, clearly shocked by his choice. “You started with Almond Joy? Are you joking? Are you trying to go viral? Almond Joy? We never would’ve worked out.” The lighthearted banter continued, and Adams joked about how their conflicting candy preferences were a dealbreaker for any potential relationship.

The exchange, of course, set social media ablaze, with fans rushing to defend Charania’s choice and express their love for the divisive candy. One fan responded, “Uh, Almond Joys are fantastic, Kay,” while another chimed in with, “I love Almond Joys.” Even a third supporter weighed in, saying, “I’m with Shams, bro. Coconut is delicious. What is with the hate for Almond Joys?”
It seems that for some fans, Charania’s taste in candy was a point of bonding rather than a dealbreaker. And while Adams may not be a fan of coconut-covered chocolates, it’s clear that her fans are just as passionate about their Halloween candy as they are about her playful banter with Charania.
Kay Adams’ witty remarks about Almond Joy might suggest there’s no future for her and Charania off-screen, but the entertaining chemistry between the two continues to delight viewers. Even if their taste in candy is wildly different, the banter is what keeps fans coming back for more.
The playful dynamic has sparked countless humorous moments that have left audiences wondering if there’s more to their relationship than just friendship.
Whether or not Adams ever decides to give Almond Joy another shot, her ongoing jokes about a potential relationship with Charania are sure to keep fans entertained.
As long as they keep appearing on “Up & Adams” together, their electric chemistry—fueled by a mix of humor, respect, and now a candy debate—will continue to be a highlight of the show.
Adams may not be ready to change her mind about Almond Joy just yet, but that hasn’t stopped her from keeping the humor going.
And who knows—maybe one day, Almond Joys will be the thing that bridges the gap between these two fan-favorite personalities.
