Kathryn and Aubrey's birthdays are close to each other," @HahnUpdates tells Out. For context, Hahn's birthday is on June 26, while Plaza's birthday is on July 23. "Soon after, she [@ThePlazaUpdates] messaged me saying she'd had the same idea for Aubrey's birthday and didn't want to appear like she was copying me. We became very close after that (very close indeed, as you can see! Hahaha)."Over time, people started to notice that something cute was going on between the two Agatha All Along fans.

(@) @HahnUpdates tells Out that people started catching onto their relationship after she posted on X, "Heard that it's officially been a year since the first trailer of agatha all along was released (we're still missing them daily)."In a blink-and-you-miss-it response, @ThePlazaUpdates wrote: "And thank god they did the show cause now you're my agatha in real life [green heart emoji]." (@) @HahnUpdates tells Out that "this was our subtle way to disclose that we were dating." Both @HahnUpdates and @ThePlazaUpdates are Brazilian, but often share posts in very fluent English.Even though that initial exchange didn't immediately get a lot of attention and they didn't go on to discuss their relationship at length, either viral X posts like the ones seen above show that thousands of X/Twitter stans clocked what was happening with this adorable couple that came out of Hahn's role as Agatha Harkness and Plaza's performance as Rio Vidal on Agatha All Along.@HahnUpdates wrote in reaction to the first viral X post about them, "What can I say I wanted to work with aubrey plaza updates." As of this writing, this X post has gotten 22,000 likes, over 700 re-posts, and 616,000 views overall. (@) The reference @HahnUpdates makes in the X post is from an interview Plaza did, saying that she joined Agatha All Along because she really wanted to work with Hahn."Kathryn Hahn, she's a friend of mine; I've known her for years," Plaza told the In the Envelope podcast in October 2024. "We shared a couple moments onscreen in Parks and Recreation 10 years ago, but I've never gotten to work with her, reallyTo be able to get onscreen with her and go toe-to-toe with her is what's driving me. I think it's cool that it's Marvel and all that, but I'm really just interested to work with Kathryn Hahn."@HahnUpdates tells Out that Plaza's quote "became a joke in the Agathario fandom, in that 'I want to work with' means wanting to kiss the person."But what drew the two of them to Hahn and Plaza in the first place? "That's too hard of a question! [crying emojis]," @HahnUpdates briefly protests, laughing. She adds, "What we love most about Kathryn and Aubrey is the way they communicate through art. How they always inspire other women in various aspects of our lives and make it clear that they are inspired by women, too. How they are true to their own identity even in an industry that demands so much from women.""It comes from an immense level of admiration for both Kathryn and Aubrey," @HahnUpdates says. "It's really beautiful when you get to admire someone so much that following that person's work becomes something lighthearted and fun."She explains how "that feeling makes you want to share your admiration and love with likeminded people who already understand what this is about, and who feel similarly about the same artist Or even people who are introduced to them from my page, or from @ThePlazaUpdates."An adorable tale online stan culture ending in a queer happy ending?
