Ricky Martin says he’ll “definitely connect” with Gus Kenworthy , after a post-Oscars meetup between the two led to a seriously flirtatious Instagram post.
On Monday, Kenworthy recalled a conversation he and his boyfriend, Matthew Wilkas , had with Martin and his husband, Jwan Yosef , at the Academy Awards Sunday night.
The Olympic freeskier posted a photo of himself and Wilkas at Vanity Fair’s Oscar party. His caption was written as a parody of a Craigslist “Missed Connections ” entry.
He called Martin and Yosef “gorgeous” and said that he and Wilkas “searched for you both for the rest of the night but never found you again.”
“In town for a week,” he wrote. “Let’s connect.”
Appearing on CBS’ “The Talk ” Tuesday, Martin said he and Yosef were “flattered” by Kenworthy’s compliments.
“That is so cute and clever,” the Latin pop superstar said, as seen in the video above. “I mean, he’s a national hero. Give me a break!”
Martin said the four would “definitely connect,” and, addressing Kenworthy directly, slyly added, “I love you, brother.”
Not one to miss a beat, Kenworthy tweeted:
Though it’s unclear exactly what Kenworthy’s intentions are, Martin made headlines in February after he implied that he was using his role on “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” to “normalize another kind of reality for open relationships.”
“We’re just two very self-secure men that are completely in love with each other, that trust each other to the maximum level,” he told Vulture Feb. 14 , “and here we are.”
