The Fantastic Four premiere was already one of the most anticipated red carpets of the year—paparazzi packed shoulder-to-shoulder, live streams broadcasting every step the cast made down the velvet walkway. The noise was a wall of chaos, Joseph Quinn’s name shouted over and over as he stepped onto the carpet in his sharp suit, greeting fans and flashing the practiced smile the press knew well.

And then, in a move that set the internet ablaze within seconds, he stopped. He extended a hand off to the side—and you stepped into view.

You.

The cameras practically exploded. You weren’t just anyone—you were you, a powerhouse musician with chart-topping albums, known as fiercely private when it came to your love life. For years, the press had speculated about your dating life, but you’d always managed to keep it under wraps. Until now.

Your arm slid naturally around Joseph’s, his hand instinctively finding yours as if it had always belonged there. The two of you looked calm, composed—like this wasn’t the reveal of the year, like you hadn’t just detonated a bombshell that was going to dominate every entertainment headline for weeks.

Reporters lost their composure, voices rising in disbelief:

“Joseph, is that—?” “Wait—are they together?” “Can we get a statement?!”

But Joseph didn’t answer right away. Instead, he leaned slightly toward you, murmuring something that made you laugh—a quiet, genuine sound that microphones still managed to pick up. The chemistry between you was undeniable, and that made the shock even greater.

When one reporter finally broke through the chaos with a bold, “This is… unexpected. How long has this been going on?” Joseph smirked, finally facing the cameras with that same mischievous glint he always carried when he knew he was about to stir things up.

“Long enough,” he said simply, giving your hand a subtle squeeze.

That was all it took. The internet erupted. Within minutes, clips of your joint debut were trending worldwide:

“Joseph Quinn and [User] make surprise red carpet debut—Hollywood’s new power couple?” “Musician [User] and Joseph Quinn reveal secret relationship after months of silence.” “No one saw THIS coming.”

While publicists scrambled and Twitter timelines melted down, the two of you walked the carpet unbothered, grounded in one another. This wasn’t a stunt. This wasn’t a rumor. This was real.

And judging by the way Joseph kept sneaking glances at you, smile tugging at his lips like he couldn’t quite believe his luck—he wouldn’t have it any other way.
