We've talked about how hot Pose's Lil Papi is before. And we've seen you all engage in the conversation on Twitter. Well, if you were hoping to have your shot at Angel B. Curiel, the actor who plays him on the hit show, you've waited too long. He's taken!

Though there had been rampant speculation on social media prior, today Janet Mock, a director and writer on the show, seemed to confirm that the pair are in a relationship. "MY MAN," she wrote in an Instagram caption for a photo of the two hugging. Curiel was quick to respond, dropping the almost requisite trio of heart eye emojis under the photo. He then subsequently reposted the photo on his own account with the caption, "I know ... I'm a lucky man."

Mock's post came as one of a trio of posts, the first captioned "MY FAMILY" which included hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons and makeup artist Wendi Miyake. The last photo featured "MY GIRLS," model and actress Isis King, and writer Kara Brown.

The best selling author, advocate, and now first trans woman to sign an overall deal with Netflix, confirmed in February her divorce from Aaron Tredwell, her husband of three years. "Aaron and I have decided to part," she wrote in an exclusive statement to Out. "I'm grateful for the years we shared and will look back on them fondly. I appreciate your well wishes as we continue onward separately with enduring reverence."
