Emily in Paris heartthrob Lucas Bravo and Big Little Lies earth-goddess Shailene Woodley have hit that crucial relationship milestone: They’re Instagram official, baby! That’s right—if it’s not on the ‘gram, did it even happen?
Let’s rewind for a hot sec. Just a few weeks ago, the internet collectively raised one eyebrow (and maybe both if you were fully caffeinated) after Lucas, 37, and Shailene, 33, were spotted looking very couple-y in Paris. We’re talkin’ hand-holding, arm-draping, and the kind of public affection that screams, “We’ve definitely made out in an art gallery at least once.”
Flash forward to now: Lucas Bravo, proud owner of cheekbones that could cut glass, posted a glorious, hipster-core Instagram slideshow of their recent desert getaway to Slab City, California—a.k.a. Burning Man’s crunchy little cousin that lives off-grid and smells vaguely of patchouli and rebellion.
His caption? A casual, cowboy-inspired: “Howdy Slab City 🌵.”
Translation: I’m in love and also possibly auditioning for a Coachella-themed Western.
Among the photo dump? Numerous snaps of Shailene and Lucas looking adorable, holding hands, staring into the desert like it’s a metaphor for love, and just generally living their best, off-the-grid, indie-romance lives. If Wes Anderson directed couples content, this would be it.
Now for the obligatory ex update: Shailene was previously engaged to NFL quarterback and part-time ayahuasca ambassador Aaron Rodgers. They broke off their engagement in 2022, which, coincidentally, is also when Mercury was probably in retrograde, so let’s blame that.
Meanwhile, Lucas Bravo has kept his love life more mysterious than Emily’s career in Paris, rarely spilling the tea. But we’re here for this unexpected pairing—and honestly, we’re rooting for them harder than we root for free Wi-Fi at cafés.
