Kerry Washington knows how to entertain her fans with some scandalous fun. This week, the “Scandal” star surprised fans of the Shonda Rhimes series by posting a provocative video compilation on TikTok, showcasing her on-screen romance with former co-star Tony Goldwyn.
Washington participated in a recent TikTok trend called the “Black wife effect” by sharing “before” photos of Goldwyn in various acting roles before he portrayed her love interest, President Fitzgerald Grant III, in “Scandal.”
“Tony! I’ve upgraded your life in so many ways, and today I’m adding one more,” she captioned the post. She then shifted to an urgent message about the upcoming 2024 presidential election in November.
“Go upgrade your voter registration status to REGISTERED,” she wrote. “Love you!!!!!!”
One TikTok user commented, “LOL Kerry, we love that you’re a menace.”
Another added, “Kerryyyyyyy what you being messy for.”
Washington, who famously portrayed Olivia Pope in the ABC series, has long known that fans continue to celebrate her on-screen chemistry with Goldwyn, even after the show concluded in 2018.
Last month, the “Unprisoned” star marked her former co-star’s birthday by sharing a photo on X (formerly Twitter) of Goldwyn embracing her from behind.
“The Itz to my #Olitz,” she wrote, referring to the nickname for their “Scandal” characters as a couple.
“Love you foreva,” she added.
A few days later, Goldwyn posted a photo on Instagram of him and Washington laughing together at an event.
“What can I say? [Washington] just makes me laugh!” he captioned the post.
While Washington and Goldwyn might be keeping the spark of their “Scandal” romance alive, in reality, they are both married to other people.
Washington and her husband, actor and former NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha, have three children. Goldwyn and his wife, production designer Jane Musky, have two children.
