Had committed Euphoria fans heard about a potential romance between Lexi and Fezco last season, they may have been left scratching their heads at the random match up. After all, Lexi is the “good girl” in Euphoria and Fezco is the drug dealer. 

But, all it took was one single scene of Lexi and Fezco flirting at a party in the premiere for season 2 and #Fexi became a *thing*.

While Fexi stans have been gunning for the on-show romance to take flight, the stars themselves haven’t addressed the budding relationship. Until now.

Episode seven saw Maude Apatow take centre stage as Lexi debuted her long-awaited play. The episode, again, teased the potential of something happening between the two. Now, Lexi has given fans some insight as to why her character is so interested in Fezco, who is played by Angus Cloud.

“The thing that’s so interesting about Angus [Cloud]’s character is that he’s so sweet and he’s got such sweet eyes, but he’s also forced to be in this position. He doesn’t really want that for himself. He has so many other dreams and goals, and we see that through the season and learn about that in their conversations,” Apatow said in an interview with Collider.

“I think she just finds him fascinating. She’s never met anyone like him and vice versa. Deep down, they have really similar interests and make each other laugh. They’re just buddies, even though no one would see it coming. They just get along really well,” the actor added.

While a real-life showmance seems to still be wishful thinking for Fexi’s fans, Cloud did post two very sweet photos of himself and Apatow on his Instagram just last week. The pics showed the two actors grinning at the camera and it looked as though Apatow was sitting on Cloud’s lap, proving there still may be some hope for Fexi stans.
