Are Connor Franta and Troye Sivan rekindling romance?

YouTuber Connor Franta ignited fan excitement with a throwback Instagram post featuring a cropped photo of himself with singer Chappell Roan.

The full shot—recently reposted by Troye Sivan—also includes both Franta and Roan, highlighting early connections among the trio. Sivan later clarified he found the image online, joking, “FYI I found that pic online doing my weekly Google of ‘troye sivan and chappell roan’, not my crop!”

In response, Franta’s own post appeared in a similar style, captioned simply “my good side.”

The phrase immediately sparked speculation among fans that it references Troye Sivan’s emotional 2018 single The Good Side. The acoustic ballad—part of his album Bloom—serves as an open letter to an ex-boyfriend, with Sivan stating the sentiment: “I happened to be on the good side of things” while the other person endured more heartbreak.

While neither Franta nor Sivan has officially confirmed the song is about their past relationship, Franta appeared to hint at it during a 2024 podcast appearance, suggesting a previous romantic involvement with Sivan. This follows his recent revelation on the web series Obsessed with Brooke Averick that he and “my boyfriend at the time” discovered Chappell Roan’s music together in 2014—seemingly confirming long-running fan suspicions about “Tronnor.”

With this latest exchange of nostalgic visuals, lyrical nods, and callbacks to their early connection with Roan, fan fervor continues to grow. Whether playful or pointed, these social media moments underscore how a simple caption, throwback photo, and song reference can reignite old stories and emotional connections.
