If you didn’t watch the Oscars last night and only tuned into the top headlines, you’d think Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper made out on top of a piano while his girlfriend and the mother of his child, Irina Shayk, looked on—and then everyone went home and called it a night.

Literally as I write this, the Today show is breathlessly declaring “Gaga & Bradley steal the show” as tweets about their, let’s say, intimate “Shallow” performance scroll across the screen. That’s tame compared with what’s happening in my news feed, where the language becomes increasingly sexual. “Everyone was horny” for Gaga and Cooper’s performance, according to one overly excited headline, while another says people are “shipping” the costars. Several writers described feeling “pregnant” after watching their duet. Over on Twitter the speculation and (admittedly hilarious) memes are loud and persistent:

The (unproven) narrative circling the Internet right now is essentially this: Lady Gaga split from her fiancé because she and Bradley Cooper are maybe-definitely in love, and everyone’s extremely into it. They “seem like a couple” at Oscars parties. Their chemistry is “undeniable.” Fans on Twitter are actively rooting for them to get together.

It gets even weirder once you add Shayk to the picture. I saw the same outlet describe Cooper and Shayk’s Oscars red-carpet PDA as “picture perfect” while simultaneously going off the deep end (pun intended) into Gaga and Cooper’s supposed affair. A “jealous” Shayk sat between the two all night, never mind that’s just how the Oscars seating chart works. And after Shayk gave her boyfriend and Gaga a standing ovation following their performance, people praised her—as if Shayk, at best, proved she’s above the rumors and, at worse, is completely clueless.

With all the noise, it’s hard to determine what the truth is. Did Gaga and Cooper’s performance feel incredibly intimate? Yes, I have eyes. Do they clearly have a close connection? Of course, though I think it’s important to remember that these two had to build a believable chemistry to sell A Star Is Born tickets. On the flip side, did Cooper and Shayk look happy together on the Oscars red carpet? Yup, and she was by his—and Gaga’s—side all night, looking ostensibly happy and not at all uncomfortable, annoyed, or awkward.

We don’t know what’s really going on with these three—but what I do find interesting is the wide-spread support for Gaga and Cooper to be together. It’s striking to me because society normally loves to hate on the other woman, especially if she is viewed as “taking” the man away from the mother of his child. People are still not over Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s affair. When they divorced in 2016, tabloids circled like hawks to shout that Jolie was discovering what goes around comes around. The New York Post‘s front page that week was a picture of Aniston laughing, a full-circle moment for Team Jen.

And look what’s been happening recently to Jordyn Woods: Her removal from the Kardashian’s inner circle after reportedly hooking up with Tristan Thompson, father to Khloé Kardashian’s daughter and a brother-in-law of sorts to Woods’ best friend Kylie Jenner, has been treated as a joke. Something she completely deserved because of her actions. Khloé, meanwhile, has become the new Jen Aniston—even The Bachelorette was hoping to cast her as the next lead. People cheer that Woods’ life and career are over, but root for Cooper to end his relationship and be with Gaga? Because what, they look hot cuddling next to each other at a piano?
