This Twitter conspiracy thread makes a compelling case.
By Meghan McKenna
They’re all asking the same question: are Virtue and Moir are a couple? And when they learn they’re (allegedly) not, they ask: how can two people possess that much chemistry when they’re not head-over-heels in IRL love?
It’s totally possible to have an intimate artistic relationship that isn’t sexual. I’m sure there are lots of creative couples that are incredibly intense, romantic and platonic — I just, you know, can’t name any of them. But it’s also totally possible that the professional duo is keeping their romance under wraps for business reasons. Would we care as much about these two if they were in a public relationship? Probably not. This passionate-but-not-in-love thing is kind of their shtick.
To which we present this wholly convincing Twitter thread via Tessa Tirtue. If Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir aren’t sleeping together/dating/secretly married, then how do you explain this sultry string of NSFW gifs?
