Twisted Fate and Graves are the newest gay couple to jump on the scene. This year it was confirmed by Riot that the once warring pair is now in a relationship. Their love-hate relationship is shown in-game as they bicker like an old married couple.
It was this that made fans wonder if they are in fact an item. And they are! This was confirmed once again in another short story titled The Boys and Bambolini.
