Daytime TV fans were treated to an unexpected but very welcome crossover when soap actors Adrian Anchondo and Colton Little went Instagram-official as a couple.
The moment arrived via a vacation photo shared by Anchondo, showing Little planting a kiss on his cheek while the two were in San Juan.
Anchondo captioned the post with heartfelt holiday energy, writing that Christmas made his heart “pop” and thanking Puerto Rico and Florida.
The photo quickly made the rounds online, not just because it was sweet, but because both men are familiar faces in the world of daytime drama.
Anchondo currently appears on General Hospital, where he joined the long-running ABC soap in 2025 in the role of Marco Rios.
His recent daytime work has introduced him to a new audience, alongside earlier credits including Law & Order: Organized Crime and FBI: Most Wanted.
Little, meanwhile, is best known to soap fans from Days of Our Lives, making this a rare real-life romance between actors from two rival daytime universes.
The soap crossover aspect was not lost on fans, who quickly embraced the pairing as both charming and delightfully meta.
Little responded to the sudden attention with humor and perspective, joking that it must have been a slow news day.
He also acknowledged that after a heavy year, seeing queer love represented and celebrated felt genuinely meaningful.
In a reposted message, Little described himself as a “lucky, lucky guy,” striking a tone that was grateful rather than performative.
Anchondo echoed that warmth by sharing additional reposts, including headlines and fan reactions, without turning the moment into a spectacle.
What stood out most was how low-key the entire exchange felt.
There was no dramatic announcement, no exclusive reveal, and no attempt to manufacture a moment.
Instead, it was simply two actors sharing a happy slice of real life and letting the internet react however it would.
In a genre built on secret affairs, amnesia arcs, and cliffhanger kisses, the simplicity felt refreshing.
For LGBTQ+ fans of daytime television, the pairing also carried quiet significance.
Both men are openly gay, visible in their work, and comfortable enough to let their relationship exist without explanation or defense.
The response suggests audiences are more than ready for that kind of normalcy.
Sometimes the best soap storylines are the ones that happen off-screen.
