Heartthrobs Troye Sivan and Manu Ríos Spotted Dining in Milan; Gay Twitter Goes Wild
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 4 MIN.
Australian pop idol Troye Sivan and Spanish actor of "Elite" fame Manu Ríos were snapped in a viral pic as they shared a cozy dinner in Milan – and gay Twitter went berserk.
"Twinks meeting," one person posted on X (formerly Twitter), while another sighed, "They'd make a cute couple."
In the image the two seem to gaze intently at one another at a table positioned before shelf upon shelf of Italian red wines, prompting one post that swooned, "They look so in love."
Che bello!
Others were less romantic, if equally taken with the photo's possible interpretations.
"Both vers?" one post read, while another declared, "Fuck 'menu' when you have 'Manu', fuck 'try Sauvignon' when you can 'Troye Sivan'."
Others signaled they were overwhelmed with crying emojis, posited an as-yet-unannounced romance, or had just had some fun with the image.
But it evidently wasn't the lovers' getaway that some fans were hoping it was. Sivan and Ríos were both in town to attend a menswear fall fashion event that Prada put on, as Sivan revealed to his followers on Instagram.
This is not the first time Sivan and Rios have been spotted hanging out together while attending a celebrity-studded occasion. They electrified X last year when a video clip of them sharing a table with Hwang Hyunjin, a member of the Korean pop group Stray Kids, at Cannes went viral.
So, casual sometime buds? Or something more? See what else the stans of gay Twitter had to say.
