But regardless of where the two currently stand, the internet is ready for their relationship to be 100 percent real.
“Update on the on-again off-again couple of Machac and Siniakova which won mixed doubles gold,” one fan wrote on X, alongside footage from the press conference. “YOU CAN’T TELL ME THEYRE NOT BACK TOGETHER. YOU CANT.”
