Noah Schnapp briefly turned his fans’ brains upside down.
The Stranger Things star appeared to hard launch a new relationship on April 1, writing “one month of us” with a heart alongside an Instagram Story photo of him and another man looking at a sunset with their arms around one another.
However, just hours later, Schapp, 21, revealed his actual relationship with the mystery man. As he quipped on his April 2 Instagram Story with a cheeky kissing emoji, “April fools.”
Prior to his reveal, fans celebrated his seemingly-taken relationship status—and demanded to know more about the man in his Story. On his most recent Instagram post from Feb. 26, featuring him and twin sister Chloe Schnapp, one fan asked, “HELLO HIS STORY? WHO IS IT NOAHHH.” Meanwhile another wrote, “I saw your story and I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOUUU THAT YOU FOUND YOUR PERSON.”
Still, some couldn’t help but clock the suspicious timing of his reveal, as a third person quipped, “I’m so happy for Noah, but… April 1st? Hmm.”
