Trans "Drag Race" alum Adore Delano unveiled her relationship with "The Voice" singer Sasha Allen in a sweet Instagram post, declaring, "you teach me things with just a look in your eyeballs - you're mine - i'm yours - let's take over the world".
"i love you 💖🐾" Delano added.
If the caption melted hearts, so did the collection of photos that accompanied it: clasped hands, spooning legs, a pair of tins of Red Bull, and a couple of cute tchotchkes that seemed to illustrate the sentiments in the written post.
Cementing the Instagram official status of their pairing, Allen took to the platform in turn to share the same images, along with his own heartfelt declaration: "my sweet adore, i am so lucky to love you 💌🐾".
"Many of the pair's fellow reality competition alums couldn't help but gush over the heartwarming news," E! News relayed.
"American Idol season seven runner-up David Archuleta commented with three heart-eyed emojis, while Adore's 'Drag Race' season six sister Laganja Estranja wrote, 'This makes me so happy!!'" the outlet detailed.
Fellow "Drag Race" alum Gottmik jumped into Adore's comments with a string of heart emojis, while trans influencer Abigail Beverly Hillz said, "T4T love 🥹 so happy for you sisterrr".
"And Adore's exciting relationship status isn't the only celebratory update she's shared with the world as of late," E! News added. "Last summer, she publicly came out as a trans woman and detailed the relief and joy she felt by embracing her identity."
"Adore first rose to prominence when she competed on season seven of 'American Idol,' and later returned to competition TV on 'RuPaul's Drag Race' season six five years later," Just Jared recounted.
"Sasha is most well known for competing on 'The Voice' season 21 alongside his dad Jim Allen," Just Jared said. "They were on Ariana Grande's team and eliminated on the fifth week of live shows, just before the finale."
Congratulations to the happy couple!
