Abby Lee Miller seems to think she had a hand in setting up her former “Dance Moms” co-star and student Maddie Ziegler with boyfriend Jack Kelly. On Instagram, the reality TV personality dished about Maddie’s romance, revealing she was the one who first introduced the young couple.

“Came across some old pics!” Abby recently posted to her account. The image in question included a closeup of Maddie, Jack and some friends. “This was the beginning... Two Too Cute!” Abby wrote. “Who would’ve thunk it? Lol! Me!”

Maddie and Jack haven’t publicly responded to Abby’s post, but the Australian teen has been open about his relationship in recent months. On Saturday, he shared a picture of him with Maddie, her sister Mackenzie Ziegler and several other pals. “Miss this,” Jack captioned the photo, including a sad face.

Last month, Jack shared a more intimate shot of Maddie. On Instagram, he posted a photo of him and his girlfriend wearing swimsuits and getting cozy at an outdoor locale with him appearing to almost kiss her cheek. “Check out the third wheel,” he captioned the shot, referring to a dog in the picture.

A few days earlier, Jack shared a candid photo of Maddie, writing, “Dates with this beautiful girl.” One day earlier he posted a romantic shots of another date night they shared at the Urban Lights sculpture at LACMA and the Grove in Los Angeles. “My girl,” he titled one of the pictures, adding a ring emoji for measure.

Unlike Jack, Maddie, 14, hasn’t been entirely forthcoming about her romance. In March, two months are rumors about the relationship started to fly, she addressed her mother Melissa Gisoni’s rules for dating.

“My mom lets me like boys now, which is good. She used to not let me, but now, I mean...It can’t be like a real [date]. I’m only 14.” she told host Mario Lopez on “Extra.” Maddie added she was allowed to text with boys but “wouldn’t do anything though because I’m only 14.”

Maddie finally confirmed the romance in April by sharing photos from her Disneyland date with Jack, calling him “my boy” on Instagram. The images from their day at the happiest place on earth showed the “Dance Moms” alum giving her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek outside the park and cozying up to him while inside Disney’s California Adventure park.

Days later, Maddie posted a photo stating how much she would miss her better half while on tour with Sia. “These past 11 days with you were so special,” she posted. “We'll see each other soon... only two months! So much love.”
