A Public Plea to Jared and Lupita: You Guys Need to Date, Immediately

Updated on 2/24/2015 at 4:50 AM

Dear Jared Leto and Lupita Nyong'o: we can't do this with you guys anymore. Ever since we saw your undeniable chemistry during last year's award season, we haven't been able to stop thinking about what a beautiful couple you would be. Rumors have been swirling about a relationship between you since then, and at the Oscars on Sunday we totally caught you having a heart-to-heart chat in the front row. At the SAG Awards last month, you brought that same sexy spark to the stage while presenting together. Even though you continue to deny any connection, we refuse to believe that this is a purely platonic pairing. You have to know how adorable you guys are together! From your stolen moments at award shows to your silly selfies at fashion shows — not to mention Jared's "future ex-wife" comment — we've been given more than enough proof of your love for each other, and we need you to get on board with making this real.

Listen, we get it: love isn't easy. But Jared seems supersingle these days, and Lupita has reportedly split from her boyfriend, rapper K'Naan, so what's the issue? It's time to get serious. And if you're still on the fence, here are 22 pieces of photographic evidence that prove you are destined to be together — scroll through to see them all now.

The night that started it all: Jared gets snapped kneeling beside Lupita during the Critics' Choice Awards in 2014.

Here we have Exhibit B: a sweet photo taken at a SAG Awards afterparty in 2014.

And the hug that elicited a thousand "awww!"s.

Jared met Lupita's mom at the Independent Spirit Awards in 2014, just moments after calling Lupita his "future ex-wife."

They both took home Oscars in 2014 and celebrated together in the press room.

Lupita photobombed Jared backstage, which was way too cute to handle.

What's this?! Just a casual meetup at the Miu Miu runway show during Paris Fashion Week in 2014 . . .

. . . Followed by an adorable series of selfies while having lunch that day in the City of Light.

Jared wins an MTV Movie Award in 2014, and guess who was there to present it to him?

During his acceptance speech, Jared said that it was "an award in itself" to have Lupita present the trophy to him.

Are you seeing this? Can you feel the warmth?

Jared later slips into something more comfortable during the show, and guess who he hung out with?

He even stopped by to visit Lupita in the audience and tell her how much he cares about her (we're guessing).

They got caught cozying up to each other before getting on stage at the SAG Awards this year.

And when they walked to the podium, it was clear this was going to be a really cute moment.

Jared couldn't even keep his eyes off of Lupita. He only broke his stare to look at the teleprompter.

When she finished her part of the introduction, he looked right into her eyes to tell her what a great job she did.

And that waist grab was a thing of beauty.

We totally caught them having a heart-to-heart in the front row at the Oscars.

Then Lupita's little brother walked up and was like, "Am I interrupting anything?"

Jared and Lupita actually thought putting Eddie Redmayne between them would make us forget how in love they looked.

They thought posing with Jay Z and Beyoncé at the Vanity Fair afterparty would distract us. Nice try, guys.

Come on, you two. This love is so real, even "Jenny From the Block" can sense it.
