Diana Gabaldon surprised fans everywhere when she openly kissed Outlander star Sam Heughan during a recent Q & A session in Germany. In fact, once images of the now famous kiss reached social media, fans reacted with a good amount of jealousy and were left wondering what was going on between the two.
“When @caitrionambalfe away Diana will play,” One Twitter user wrote alongside the image of Gabaldon kissing Heughan. “Does anyone know the story behind this @Writer_DG @SamHeughan?”
Luckily, Gabaldon was on hand to answer this question and reveal why she felt the need to lock lips with the Outlander hunk. Apparently, it was just that kind of Q & A session that concluded with a round of kisses for everyone, not just Gabaldon and Heughan.
-“We’d just done a successful show and everybody was kissing/hugging everybody onstage,” Gabaldon responded on Twitter. “Gary kissed me about ten seconds after that, and Graham kissed me before Sam did.”
Heughan and Gabaldon were joined onstage by Graham McTavish, Duncan Lacroix, and Gary Lewis at the RingCon event in Germany. According to Scotland Now, the event organizers had some issues selling tickets and getting fans motivated to come out.
