Chadwick Boseman has found his Valentine.
The Black Panther actor made an appearance on Good Morning America on Monday, where he received a special gift from a fan in the audience.
A young girl gifted Boseman with a hand-cut paper heart.
“It’s Valentine’s Day!” said the actor as he got up to retrieve the gift.
Boseman gave the fan a hug as he accepted the festive present.
The little girl was clearly a big admirer of the actor, as she was dressed as his superhero character for the occasion.

Later, the two posed for a heartwarming photo together.
Boseman has already started receiving critical acclaim ahead of the release of Feb. 16 release of Black Panther.
The actor has expressed his excitement for starring in Marvel’s first black superhero movie but has said he’s making sure to keep his expectations in check.
“I hesitate to jump on that ‘Oh, it’s a movement’ thing. Because it depends on how it opens,” he previously told Mr. Porter. “I mean, it’s got to happen first, right? People need to show up and not bootleg it.”
Black Panther also stars Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o and more.
