We all love a good flirt-mance, and Michael Strahan certainly was on the receiving end of one on the latest iteration of Good Morning America!

The morning news show welcomed Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and actress Garcelle Beauvais on the show, and she decided to throw a curveball to the TV star.

Watch Michael and Garcelle's hilarious exchange below that left the former "blushing," and even got a rise out of his co-anchor George Stephanopoulos

The moment was shared on their Instagram page as well, amid Garcelle discussing some of her ill-timed escapades with dating apps and her relationships, and fans quickly began to ship the two as a couple and many commented on the adorable exchange.

One wrote: "Is it just me or do they make a striking couple!!! Can someone play Cupid please!!!!" with another adding: "They would look great together," and a third saying: "Michael was speechless this morning!!! The blushing tickled me!!"

Last week as well, George got a dig in at his co-anchor about his love life while presenting a segment on the show about couples opting to have guests at their wedding pay to attend.

Before the story began, George confidently leaned back and started off with: "Michael is paying close attention to our next story. It's our GMA cover story on how couples are cutting costs on their wedding by selling tickets to the wedding."

"You ever seen a Black man blush before? Because this is what it looks like."

Crew members in the studio and Linsey Davis, who was subbing in for Robin Roberts that day, began giggling as well as B-roll played and Michael turned to George, unable to contain his own laughing fit. "Explain it all, Erielle," George said, turning the attention over to their correspondent Erielle Reshef, who quipped back: "I'm staying out of that one, I don't know what that is!"
