It looks like love is in the air for Las Vegas Raiders player Carl Nassib!

Taking to his Instagram stories last night, the history-making, out gay NFL star and Raiders defensive end posted a cute pic where he can be seen coupled up and cozy with rumored beau Erik Gudzinas.

Nassib tagged Gudzinas in the pic, which he captioned simply with two red heart emojis, and we're swooning at how cute the two look together!

The 28-year-old football player first confirmed he was in a relationship in late September when he appeared on Raiders teammate Darren Waller's Comeback Stories podcast, where he opened up about how after publicly coming out during Pride Month, the one thing missing from his life was “to be someone’s number one priority.”

“And I couldn’t have that, so that was the one thing, I was like ‘man I really f*cking want that,’” Nassib said, before adding, “But I got that now, so it’s good.”

When podcast co-host Donny Starkins asked Nassib for more information, Nassib said, “Oh, I met an awesome guy. He’s the best.”

Though he didn't mention Gudzinas by name, internet sleuths quickly surmised that he was probably the lucky man to tackle the athlete's heart, especially since Gudzinas had been publicly posting more really cute pictures of he and Nassib together on his own Instagram account.

And this isn't even the first time Nassib has posted Gudzinas to his IG story!
