Actress Kerry Washington just shared a TikTok tribute to her โ€œScandalโ€ costar Tony Goldwynโ€™s glow-up, posting photos of his roles before he landed the job of President Fitzgerald Grant and her character Olivia Popeโ€™s boyfriend on the ABC mega-hit from 2012 to 2018.

Washingtonโ€™s post includes pics of Goldwynโ€™s transformation from previous big and small screen roles, including โ€œSt. Elsewhere,โ€ โ€œGhostโ€ and as the voice of Tarzan in the eponymous 1999 animated film. Goldwyn looked a little rough around the edges in comparison to his role as the stylish leader of the free world in the Shonda Rhimes series.

As you can probably imagine, Washingtonโ€™s post had โ€œScandalโ€ fans going crazy at all of the delicious messiness she stirred up. The comment section was flooded with folks who found themselves getting nostalgic thinking about Olivia and Fitzโ€™s scandalous relationship; comments included, โ€œThe scream I scrumpt when I saw who posted this ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ,โ€ and โ€œWhen you found your soul mate but youโ€™re both married ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿคฃ.โ€

Of course there were those wondering if Washingtonโ€™s post was a sign that there might be a little sumthinโ€™ sumthinโ€™ going on between the stars in real life.

โ€œLmaooo now Kerry, if I was his wife Iโ€™d be home clutching my pearls right now ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ,โ€ and โ€œKerry girlโ€ฆ just come clean , we wonโ€™t judge you!! Thatโ€™s your man ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿคญ ainโ€™t it?!?! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚,โ€ one wrote.

โ€œAt this point we (the internet) and your spouses just waiting for yโ€™all to make it official ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚,โ€ wrote another

But this commenter wins the day, saying exactly what โ€œScandalโ€ fans everywhere are thinking: โ€œIโ€™m taking this as confirmation that Liv and Fitz got married and are living in Vermont #Olitzโ€
