Simone Biles And Zac Efron Are Flirting On Twitter, And We're Giddy

Back in March, Team USA superstar and Olympic gymnast sensation Simone Biles was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Mid-interview, Ellen oh-so-subtly mentioned Simones crush, Zac Efron .

Yes, people. That is a leotard covered in Zac Efrons face. Because why the hell not.

As funny as this moment was, Ellen clearly had a method to her madness.

And notice he did. It wasnt long before Zac reached out to Simone.

@ZacEfron @TheEllenShow OH MY GOSH I THINK I AM GOING TO PASS OUT OH MY GOSH CRYING! THANK YOU

Seems relatively innocent, right? Well, their blossoming Twitter romance didnt end there.

@ZacEfron Thanks Zac! I hope you can watch Team Final tomorrow night.

But wait. Theres more.

Of course I'm watching the #FinalFive dominate the floor! #Rio2016 #TeamUSA pic.twitter.com/wdgVnvWOCa

Is that Zac Efron making a heart with his hands? YES IT IS.

Where is this flirting going? Could Simone and Zac be the couple America never knew it needed?

As far as we know, Zac is now single. So anything is possible. Right, Simone?

Right.
