Nineties babies rejoice - because TLC’s Rozonda ‘Chilli’ Thomas is officially dating Matthew Lawrence from Boy Meets World. The mash-up we never knew we needed.
The star announced the sweet news on her Instagram with a video of her and Matthew dancing around to 80s hit 'Take On Me' while wearing matching festive onesies, which she captioned with several hashtags including #wecute - they sure are. Check it out for yourself:
The adorable post caught the eye of fellow Boy Meets World star Danielle Fishel, who wrote: “This makes me very happy!!”
And, of course, it wasn’t just Danielle who was delighted with the union, fans flocked to the comment section to pass on their best wishes to the new couple, with one person posting: “Everything that, both, my 8-year-old and 33-year-old self needed to carry me into 2023.”

Another said: “Millennials across the land approve.”
While a third added: “This is the most 90s thing ever and I love it.” Me, too, pal - me too.
Former teen heartthrob Matthew, 42, and Chilli, 51, are said to be getting pretty serious, with a rep telling TMZ that the couple spent Thanksgiving and Christmas together and that Chilli even introduced him to her family.

A rep for Chilli has said she is ‘glowing’ thanks to the new relationship and confirmed she is very much in love.
Rep Christal Jordan told People: “I've been with Chilli since 2005 and I've never seen her this in love. She is glowing. They are really cute together.” This is too much.
It's unclear how long the couple have been dating, but TMZ did share some sneaky snaps of them both chilling out on a beach in Waikiki, Hawaii back in August.
At the time, a rep for the TLC star insisted the pair were just friends and there was no romantic intent to their trip to the beach, but it seems they’ve since had a change of heart.

Matthew was previously married to his former Dancing with the Stars partner Cheryl Burke, but the two went their separate ways in February last year after three years of marriage.
Meanwhile, Chilli had been in a fairly high profile relationship with Usher, but went through a somewhat tumultuous breakup, with the TLC star telling People in 2004: “Usher did the ultimate no-no to me. I will never be with him again, and that is that.”
She added: “He portrayed himself to be this honest and great guy, and he really wasn’t.” Ouch.
