All the Times Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan Have Been Insanely Flirty on Social Media
It's like the only emoji they have is the kiss emoji.


Outlander's Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan play two madly-in-love Scottish time travelers on TV (okay, only she travels and only he's Scottish)—and the world desperately wants art to mimic real life. In other words, fans want Sam and Cait to do it like they do on the Discovery channel, or in this case Starz. Yes, both actors are in relationships (Caitriona is actually engaged (opens in new tab)), but that doesn't stop them from giving we, the people, what we want on Twitter. Here are some of their best flirty exchanges.
The time Caitriona captioned a picture with a self-deprecating comment and Sam chimed in to remind her how beautiful she is:
Look I have weird hands.... Oh and you can get this today!!! Here at http://t.co/F9vmz2LOuQ #outlander pic.twitter.com/oYCEHlFjMiMarch 4, 2015
The time Sam celebrated 200,000 followers with an AMA and Caitriona asked the only important question:
@SamHeughan thanks hubby xx (only two xx this year..?)October 4, 2015
The time their happy birthday exchange took a *very* flirty turn:
