SCOTT Moir and Tessa Virtue have ended their Olympic careers, but — to the delight of fans — may still have a future together.

The Canadian duo, whose not-so-PG programs resulted in two gold medals in PyeongChang, have played coy about their personal lives throughout the Olympic experience.

They even shut down “Today’s” Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie during an interview Tuesday morning.

“Your chemistry’s undeniable. Twitter’s exploding. They want you guys to be a couple,” Kotb said, via People, with Guthrie adding, “We kind of do, too.”

Virtue, 28, replied, “That’s such a compliment,” while partner Moir, 30, offered a lengthier explanation about their post-Olympic plans during a press conference Wednesday morning that offers hope for a future off the ice.

“We love working together, we’ll have to find just in which way we want to do that. Relationship status is ‘none of your business,’” Moir said, snapping his fingers, “but I can say that the last two years, we’ve been in a very committed relationship with our sport.”

He continued: “We’re the type of athletes that dive headfirst into the whole process and I just honestly don’t know where you would find time for that. And part of the reason was that maybe why we wouldn’t continue was to open up that side of our life, maybe, and see where that goes, and that’s as personal as I’ll get, but let’s see what happens.”

Though the on-ice pair have shared “platonic” kisses during practices, according to Canada’s National Post, it appears they’re also friendly exes, having “dated” during childhood.

While their relationship status remains unclear, Moir did nothing to dispel marriage rumours in a recent interview with MacLean’s magazine.

“We’re always telling stories. We’re supposed to be reacting, a man and woman on the ice, it’s romantic,” Moir said last month. “What we have is such a cool relationship. It’s more about a friendship; our working relationship is so strong. We take so much pride in that.”
