HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — For the first time since 2015, there’s a new “American Idol.”
In the latest season, it came down to Georgia’s Caleb Lee Hutchinson and Iowa’s Maddie Poppe.
Before America found out Poppe was the winner, she and Hutchinson announced they were dating.
WATCH the happy couple Tuesday on "Good Morning America" immediately following Channel 2 Action News This Morning!
The couple had just performed a duet and host Ryan Seacreast asked them about performing together.
That's when Hutchinson dropped the bomb!

There's a LONG list of Nashville producers pitching these two for a duet. No doubt. https://t.co/kT1kRYYyw6
