Are Parenthood co-stars Mae Whitman and Miles Heizer more than just friends?
Quite a few Parenthood fans and critics may have asked themselves that question after Mae Whitman posted a picture of the TV siblings kissing for “ National Kiss Day ” on June 19.
The picture, which was posted on Mae’s official Instagram page, was accompanied with a caption that made a minor change to the name of the international day of kissing.
“Happy National Kiss Your Brother Day everyone!!!”
Miles Heizer shared the same photo on his own Instagram page with a slightly different caption.
“Ruining anyone who watched parenthood’s national kissing day.”
Quite a few people have responded via Twitter to the kissing photo of Miles Heizer and Mae Whitman. Some did not like the idea of them kissing – especially since they played brother and sister on the hit NBC series, Parenthood for six seasons.

However, there were a lot more people that seemed to be okay with it – going as far as encouraging the two BFFs to seriously consider taking their friendship to the next level.

In recent years, Mae Whitman and Miles Heizer have made their off-screen friendship clear to the rest of the world.

Mae Whitman spoke openly about her friendship with her TV brother and real-life roommate in a March 2013 interview with BuzzFeed .
“We’re definitely unusually close, just as far as human beings go. Miles is definitely my best friend.”
Whether Mae and Miles will ever be more than friends is not clear – only time will tell.
However, if Mae Whitman and Miles Heizer do decide to leave the “Friend Zone,” they would not be the only set of Parenthood TV siblings with a real-life romance. Actors Peter Krause and Lauren Graham (who played Adam and Sarah Braverman) first started dating shortly after they met on the Parenthood set in 2010.
