The Buffalo Bills had an early exit from the postseason following their divisional-round loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. Now they are in off-season mode trying to figure out what went wrong for them. Amidst this, the Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin took some time off his schedule to attend a fundraiser event, where he danced with television host Sherri Shepherd.

On Wednesday night Sherri Shepherd and many other celebrities attended a fundraiser in New York City for the American Heart Association. While speaking at the event, the 56-year-old actress jokingly flirted with the Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin, who was in the audience.

Oh, look at Damar Hamlin. Look at you, look at you! Safety for the Buffalo Bills. I love you, Damar Hamlin! I love strong hearts because strong hearts is a strong back, and you [are] young, and that means your heart could go all night. I would love it.
Sherri Shepherd said at the fundraiser

Shepherd further kept flirting with Hamlin and even asked whether he could call her ‘mama’. However, later, she said that the 25-year-old defensive back Hamlin might be too old for her.

25? 25! That’s too old for me, 25. I don’t know about that. 25, oh gosh, y’all.
Sherri Shepherd joked

The actress even brought the football player on stage to bust a few steamy dance moves in the fundraising event. According to Page Six, Shepherd later revealed that the event was important to her since she lost her mom at a young due to heart issues.

Firstly, he jokingly flirted with the 56-year-old actress Sherri Shepherd and even danced on stage with her. Later, Hamlin — who just recently recovered from heart issues himself — got on the stage for the second time with his younger brother to introduce singer Demi Lovato as the headlining performer.

Earlier in 2023, Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest during the Bills’ regular season game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Everyone thought his career was over after that horrific incident.

However, he has made a swift recovery since then and got back to playing football for the Buffalo-based organization. As a result, he is now one of the finalists for the 2023 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award.
