It's come to our attention that love could genuinely be in the air. After being asked by Entertainment Tonight for an update on the shenanigans we seem to have started, Matthew McConaughey confirmed that Hugh Grant's father, James Grant, and McConaughey's mother, Mary Kathlene McCabe, are actually, genuinely going on a date.

"Yeah, why not? Next week, they're supposed to meet, and we probably won't see them for the rest of the night," he said.

We expect an invite to the wedding.
