Adam Rippon has won over the hearts of many, but the current focus of his affection is none other than Shawn Mendes. The figure skater has always been quite open, not just about his sexuality, but also when it comes to his celeb crushes. He has spoken about the degree of his admiration for the likes of Harry Styles and Jake Gyllenhaal before, after all.

During an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show, however, he spoke about finding Mendes quite cute and that he was looking forward to meeting him during the Academy Awards. Well, the lucky athlete did eventually get that wish. In an Instagram story, he shared how he had met the singer during an Oscars afterparty. The only thing he can say about the encounter? A resounding “BRUH”, which to us sounds like a successful cheer after finally meeting his celebrity crush.
