That friendship has been evident in their “The Gold Squad” vlog series, with co-stars Kyle Echarri and Seth Fedelin, but early this week, a makeup video with only the ladies gave a clearer impression of their closeness.

The official video alone has already garnered nearly 3 million views in less than a week, with fans commenting, in jest, that they now “shipped,” or supported the tandem, of “FranDrea” (Francine and Andrea), instead of their respective actual love teams with Echarri and Fedelin.

On Facebook, a fan edit compiling the pickup lines has already been watched nearly 2 million times, and on Twitter, similar compilations championing “FranDrea” continued to gain traction, as of writing.
