‘Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness & Antoni Porowski Just Pranked Fans About Their Love Lives

Has anyone else secretly wished for a romance within the Fab Five? Well, Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness and Antoni Porowski’s dating clue turned out to be a sneaky trick. The duo fooled quite a few wishful fans into thinking their relationship was more than just friends with a cheeky little Instagram post this week.

Porowksi posted a pic of the two lip-locked yesterday with the caption, “I guess America’s birthday’s our anniversary, babe.” Though the kiss seemed like an innocent peck between friends, fans took the accompanying message as a signal for something more.

“I knew it! I mean yeah congrats, But ha I called it!!!!” wrote one fan. Another said, “If this is real I’ll actually cry.”

A few caught on to the idea that the post could be a joke. One fan wrote, “Part of me is like, ‘of course it’s not real they’re just playing.’ and the other part is like ‘can I be the flower girl orrr…?’” while another threatened, “If this is fake I’m literally never French tucking again.”

In the end, it turned out that the smooch was really just a kiss between friends. Van Ness squashed rumors with an Instagram post of his own, showing himself and Porowski in a friendly embrace. “It was all Antoni’s idea but maybe someday we will fall in love @antoni #notacouplebutitwasfunright,” the beauty guru wrote in the caption.
