Audiences are raving about Team USA's figure skating duo, Maia and Alex Shibutani. The Shibutani's impressed during their ice dance routine at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, taking out the bronze medal.
Officially known as the ‘ShibSibs’, Maia, 23 and Alex, 26, are not husband and wife - they're brother and sister.
That's caused some mixed reaction amongst audiences, who liken the sport to ballroom dancing.
The question now on some people's minds, 'would you team up with your brother or sister for ice dancing?'
Some suggest the siblings are 'too close'.
Another person even suggested the commentators should stop referring to the duo as a "couple".
Ice dance is often looked upon as a romantic sport, with one such rule being that partners must not separate except to change dance hold.
But the pair say they try their best to avoid overally romantic routines - for obvious reasons. And they count their familial relationship as a bonus, saying it stretches them to become more inventive with their routines.
"I think a lot of our success comes from how close we are and the bond that we have,” Alex Shibutani told Reuters.
"I think what we have is very unique."
Teacher Jenny Williams acknowledged their effort to be as unromantic as possible.
Journalist Robert Samuels suggested brother-sister couples are "not unheard of".
And overall, most people seem indifferent about how close they are, with an overwhelming amount of support flooding in for the siblings.
Some are even envious of the Shibutani's.
Even talk show host Stephen Colbert declared his allegiance.
Who are they?
The pair began skating together as children, Maia was 4 and Alex aged 7.
Embracing their siblinghood, they have an official YouTube channel chronicling their daily lives, travels, competitions and costume fittings.
They've won a medal at every US national championship at the senior level since 2011 - two golds, three silvers, and two bronzes. And they've already improved on their result from the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic games, where they placed ninth.
