The Olitz spark between “Scandal”‘s Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn is still going strong years after their TV reign. The duo’s recent reunion for Washington’s “Thicker Than Water” book tour, which kicked off in September, reminded Olivia Pope and Fitzgerald Grant fans everywhere that these haven’t lost their magic one bit. In fact, their undeniable chemistry is just as convincing as it was during “Scandal”‘s heyday. So much so that some fans have completely forgotten that the former costars are, indeed, married in real life (and not to each other).
Goldwyn has been with his wife, Jane Musky, since 1987, and they share two daughters. Washington, a mom of three young kids, meanwhile, tied the knot with NFL player-turned-actor Nnamdi Asomugha in 2013. So despite fan speculation, Washington and Goldwyn are just friends.
Between re-creating their iconic Olitz scenes and their many birthday tributes to each other on social media (Washington hardly ever misses one), Washington and Goldwyn have an incredibly sweet bond that seems to only get better with time. Who knew one of TV’s most scandalous and yet irresistible, star-crossed lovers would also gift us one of the best off-screen celebrity friendships, too?
Scroll ahead to see some of Washington and Goldwyn’s best friendship moments through the years, including their many hilarious finger-up-the-nose selfies.
