Zac Efron & Simone Biles Meet IRL, Melt Hearts Everywhere

Gina Escandon

Ever since his High School Musical days, our Zac Efron crush has been going strong, but it feels amazing to know that even Olmpic gold medalists share our obsession. Simone Biles has previously admitted that she has a life-size Efron cutout (and has kissed it before, but TBH so would we). Naturally this got his attention and the two started chatting on Twitter, with Efron tweeting her the cutest encouraging message and praise about her Olympic performances. She was melting, and so were we.

As if that wasn’t #goals enough, the two met backstage after Biles won her fourth gold medal. Not only did they take the most beautiful photos together, but Zac Efron ~literally~ kissed her on the cheek. We’re not even going to try to hide how badly we ship them.

Gold medalist girl boss and our eternal middle school crush together? Now that’s the power couple we need in our lives.
