Aaron Pierre just gave us more reasons to love him.

The 30-year-old actor and certified heartthrob is the new face of Bumble, and he brings his fierce handsomeness to the latest cover shoot for the networking and dating app.

In one of the photos, theRebel Ridgestar teases his pec muscles and abs in a shirtless moment that sees him wearing nothing but a cardigan, ribbed sweatpants and a chain necklace.

Other frames give peak boyfriend vibes as Pierre flashes his swoon-worthy smile while wearing a variety of cozy — and cuddle-appropriate — outfits.

The feature also includes an interview in which Pierre gets real about his outlook on dating.

Per a press release, he discusses everything from what he looks for in a connection to being rejected and his ideal first date.

“I really like the idea of there being minimal amounts of pressure for both parties where it’s just about conversation and getting to know each other,” Pierre revealed of his dream romantic outing. “My first date is low-key like a coffee shop or bakery, and then we can go and explore different options.”

Pierre’s partnership with the digital platform was announced on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14). In a press statement he shared: “I’m having fun with Bumble to celebrate the single people and bring a little bit of cheeky lightheartedness to the day. Consider this your very own Valentine, from me to you, to give you faith that dating can, and should be fun. If you’re dating at the moment, my best advice is to look out for energy that matches your own and the rest will fall into place.”

The clip, which has nearly six million “likes” on TikTok, shows him flexing major swag while dancing to the lyrics “Aaron Pierre, that’s Mufasa” (don’t worry, the catchy tune is still stuck in our heads too).

And it wasn’t just viewers getting hyped over the clip. Pierre’s video became so viral that Andra Dayhopped on the trendwhen she appeared on the singer’s talk show herself.

Pierre has yet to comment on the frenzy he put everyone in with his good looks. But, when a reporter for WWD sang him the chant during Paris Fashion Week, the moment shared to the outlet’sTikTokshowed him with a delighted grin.
