Talk about a hard launch!
This week, out actors Zane Phillips and Froy Guiterrez made their relationship Instagram Official™ with a series of photos smooching in Cancún, rock-hard abs glistening in the sun.
The Fire Island hunk and Cruel Summer hottie, respectively, look great together with their sun-bleached hair, stylish shades, complementary swim trunks (Christmas colors!), and a 16-pack between them at least, as they frolic on one of Mexico’s most beautiful beaches.
In his caption, Phillips writes, “y la [cheese emoji],” which in English—no need to consult Google Translate for this one—is “and the [cheese emoji].” We’re pretty sure he’s referring to the couple’s big smiles in the photos and not some queso dip they were just enjoying.
The Instagram marks the first time that either Phillips, 29, or Guiterrez, 25, have posted photos of one another on their “grid,” which is basically the equivalent of changing your relationship status on Facebook in today’s social media world.
However, the two were previously snapped sharing a kiss at a Pride Month event in New York City, so this wasn’t so much a “boyfriend reveal” as it was a confirmation of everything we’ve been fantasizing about for the past two months.
Still, friends and fans are taking this opportunity to celebrate the happy couple—the comment section on Phillips’ post is basically a Who’s Who of Queer Hollywood.
“Love the important PDA PSA,” writes fellow beefcake Gus Kenworthy. “Oh my heart, oh my boys!!!,” exclaims the gorgeous Nico Greetham.

The super gay new series knows exactly what it’s doing.
Elsewhere, Phillips’ Fire Island co-stars Nick Adams and Tomás Matos are showing their support, as are his Glamorous colleagues Michael Hsu Rosen and Miss Benny, who definitely claims the prize for Best Comment with, “Why doesn’t the big ken doll eat the little ken doll?”
Which reminds us: It sure does look like these Kens are ready to “beach” each other off, doesn’t it?
Over on Gay Twitter X, reactions to the relationship news range from sheer excitement to something along the lines of *sobbing, screaming* “WHY NOT ME??????” Here are just a few of our favorites:

We wish the new couple well! Sure, because we want them to be happy—of course! But…. also so they can take plenty more beach vacations together, please and thank you!
Until then, we’ll have to settle for more photos of them individually…

Porn. Right. Whatever you say….idiot.

The caption “y la queso” is nothing to do with cheese.
It’s short for “y la que soporte”, which is Spanish-language slang for “deal with it”.

Startling new studies uncovering controversial information and alarming hypotheses on the surge in transgenderism all over the world. Queerty needs to do an article!

Totally makes sense it’s chemicals pesticides in food and water causing genetic anolomies. I was surprised they didn’t bring up GMOs though otherwise the findings are very informative, and quite unfortunate for Trans people.

@dippy….The contrails!…
They sure did a number on your DNA. Loser.
The Lyndon LaRouche devotee is here again. I hope you realize how convoluted you sound.

Wasn’t this Froy dude just in a years long relationship with Richard Madden? Going public so quickly with this relationship almost seems like an attempt to irritate Richard and also to indirectly confirm they were indeed a couple. He probably thought if he waited then eventually him and Richard could be unapologetically public. That clearly didn’t work out. Good luck to him and this other guy.
Man About Town
Richard Madden has a long history of relationships with women, and I haven’t found any reliable source to support the idea that he’s gay, much less “in a years long relationship” with Froy, although I suppose that depends on what you mean by “relationship.”
Donston
I didn’t say anyone was “gay”. Just that it appears Richard and Froy were dating for years. The media barely reported on it because outing celebs (particularly male celebs) is widely frowned upon nowadays. But anyone who’s paid attention to Richard Madden these last five years knows that he more than likely dated Brandon Flynn (Sam Smith’s ex) for about a year and then moved on to Froy for several years. While Froy wants to be seen making out with this dude all over social media a couple of months after it was rumored he and Richard broke up.

I’m so jealous and happy at the same time. They are a beautiful couple and I hope they stay together for ever. I want the next few generations to know that queer love is important and lasting!

The [HO]mogeny of these two white guys dating! EVERY OTHER WHITE FISH in the sea!

This is the second one now .Its time richard madden
Donston
If he was with Froy for over 3 years and made sure to never indulge PDA, made sure to never go to industry events with him, made sure to never publicly confirm the relationship then I doubt “his time” will be any time soon. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he next dates a chick, whether it’ll be “real” or for the media. Continuing to date these dudes in the first half of their 20s who want to be unabashedly queer while you’re uncomfortable with the world knowing that you’re into your sex- that pattern gets old. And as he gets older it’ll start to come off more creepy and exploitative. Still, it’s his life and his career, and we don’t know what he’s dealing with on a personal level or what he’s dealing with when it comes to his “sexuality”, mental health, insecurities, his potential struggles with the gender, sexual, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum.
