Kerry Washington & Tony Goldwyn Spark 'Scandal' Frenzy With Nostalgic Throwbacks

The Instagram Throwback That's Setting the Internet on Fire

Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn have once again lit up the 'Scandal' fandom with a wave of nostalgia. On May 20, to celebrate Goldwyn's 66th birthday, Washington did what she does best – captivated hearts. She took to Instagram to share a series of five candid and playful throwback photos from their time on the hit series 'Scandal'. The post was a heartfelt tribute to the "Itz" in their beloved on-screen pairing "Olitz" and included a cheeky mention about their inability to ever take a 'normal' photo together.

Goldwyn returned the sentiment in the comments with his own affectionate reply, feeding the frenzy further. Washington didn't stop there – she posted a video on Threads, lip-syncing behind Goldwyn's ever-composed demeanor until he couldn't help but smile. Needless to say, fans were ecstatic.

“The chemistry between these two is just undeniable. It's like Olitz never ended!”

Rekindling the 'Olitz' Flame

The fan reaction was swift and passionate as the Instagram and Threads posts were flooded with comments longing for the 'Olitz' magic. Some fans were convinced there's more to their chemistry than just friendship, while others were simply thrilled to see that their bond remains strong even after 'Scandal' ended in 2018.

While Washington and Goldwyn have frequently addressed these speculations, always pointing to their shared creative journey and enduring friendship, it hasn't stopped fans from dreaming. The duo's camaraderie is clearly as vibrant off-screen as it was on-screen, leaving fans endlessly fascinated.

The Real-Life Love Stories

Both Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn have cherished marriages that are very much grounded in love and respect. Washington has been married to former NFL star Nnamdi Asomugha since 2013, and they share two children. They keep their family life private, a rarity in Hollywood's spotlight.

Goldwyn, on the other hand, has been married to Jane Musky, a talented production designer, since 1987. Celebrating their 39th anniversary in April, Goldwyn has often spoken about the deep connection he felt with Musky from their first meeting. Despite the intense fan following of 'Olitz', it's clear that both stars' real-life relationships are solid and unaffected by the onscreen fantasy.

For 'Scandal' fans, the story of Olivia Pope and President Fitzgerald Grant continues to resonate because of the electric performances and the undeniable connection between Washington and Goldwyn. It seems that no amount of time can dim the glow of 'Olitz'.
