The audience erupted in cheers as Drew Starkey walked onto the Jimmy Kimmel Live stage, his signature grin lighting up the room. He was in his element, relaxed and charming as always. But this time, there was a buzz of anticipation in the air—paparazzi photos had surfaced earlier that day, and the internet was in a frenzy.

Once the initial small talk was out of the way, Jimmy leaned forward with a mischievous glint in his eye. “Drew, I’ve got to ask… have you seen the photos that dropped this morning?”

Drew raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. “Photos? What photos?”

Jimmy chuckled, pulling up an image on the screen behind them. It was unmistakable—Drew holding you in his arms, both of you laughing and stealing a kiss on what looked like a quiet date night. The audience gasped and cheered simultaneously, and Drew’s face turned a shade of pink he couldn’t hide.

“Alright,” Jimmy teased, “Are you and your mystery woman—together?”

Drew rubbed the back of his neck, clearly flustered but unable to keep from smiling. “She is going to be so pissed at me,” he muttered, half to himself, before looking at the host. “But yes. We are.”

The crowd went wild, and Jimmy leaned back, clearly satisfied. “Well, there you have it, folks! Drew Starkey, off the market. And I’ve got to say, she’s pretty amazing.”

Drew laughed, his shoulders relaxing as he nodded. “She really is. Honestly, I don’t know how I got so lucky.”

The moment was as genuine as it was unexpected, and though Drew knew you’d probably scold him for the impromptu reveal, he couldn’t help but feel a weight lift off his shoulders. Because, for the first time, he got to share just how much you meant to him—even if it was in front of the world.
