Just when we thought we couldn’t get more obsessed with Netflix’s new show ‘Locke and Key‘, we find out that Connor Jessup (Tyler Locke) is in a relationship with one of our favorite ‘13 Reasons Why‘ actor… Miles Heizer (Alex Standall).

CAN.YOU.EVEN?

Connor, who is best known for his role as Ben Mason in Falling Skies, posted an incredibly loved up selfie of him and Miles for Valentine’s Day.

“I’m late but I love you, you’re good, you make me better, happy v+1 day 💚” he captioned the photo.

If that isn’t confirmation, we don’t know what is.

The pair have also appeared on each other’s social media pages in the past, but this is definitely the first to have any romantic connotation to it.

Fans were (as expected) going HAM over the news.

“Wait what I wasn’t informed,” one fan wrote, with another combusting in a: “WHAT,” “IM EXPLODINGGGGGGGGGGG.”

“I’m dead. This is so damn cute,” wrote another fan.

Miles has been out as gay for many years now. Connor officially came out as gay in 2019 in a lengthy Instagram post.

“I knew I was gay when I was thirteen, but I hid it for years. I folded it and slipped it under the rest of my emotional clutter. Not worth the hassle. No one will care anyway. If I can just keep making it smaller, smaller, smaller…. My shame took the form of a shrug, but it was shame. I’m a white, cis man from an upper-middle class liberal family. Acceptance was never a question. But still, suspended in all this privilege, I balked. It took me years. It’s ongoing. I’m saying this now because I have conspicuously not said it before. I’ve been out for years in my private life, but never quite publicly. I’ve played that tedious game.”

The now-confirmed couple were also photographed together at the Los Angeles premiere of Locke & Key earlier this month.
