Some fans believe that Jeremy Allen White's confession was purely on platonic grounds

While many fans shipping Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri were quick to suggest a romantic involvement after White's speech, others were quick to debunk those theories. A few audience members pointed out that White was addressing all of his castmates when he expressed his desire to be in their lives forever. Therefore, his comment wasn't specifically directed at Edibri.

"I want us to be in each other's lives forever" is a heartfelt expression of deep connection and commitment. It reflects a desire for a lifelong bond, whether in friendship, love, or family, highlighting the importance of the relationship and the hope that it will endure through all of life's ups and downs. It's a beautiful way to express long-lasting affection and togetherness", wrote one user on X.

"He said that to the entire cast and crew btw", one user pointed it out.

"I'm really into how we're all about platonic love these days", wrote another user.
