Newly gilded Olympic figure skater Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have set the Internet alight with fans from across Canada and the world wondering if they’re dating, and saying they should! The pair’s electrifying and provocative performances on the ice have fueled a rumour mill like few any Olympic pair has ever caused.
A quick search on Twitter reveals EXACTLY how hot & bothered people are feeling after watching the pair’s on-ice chemistry:
Virtue and Moir have been skating together for the past 20 years or so, which definitely explains their closeness and chemistry. Here’s a video from 2004, when they were respectively 14 and 16.
Now, they’re both insisting that they’re not romantically, although they are clearly uncomfortable addressing the question directly. That might be due to something that happened a long time ago. It turns out, Virtue and Moir DID date, but only briefly. Tessa was 7, and Scott 9 at the time, but it’s been strictly friendly between them ever since, they both say.
Fingers crossed, everyone is hoping for a surprise reveal that they actually ARE dating… But something tells me that won’t happen until AFTER Pyeongchang.
Meanwhile, congrats to them both on their EIPC performances on the ice and for bringing home the gold!
