And the YE March Madness 2026 Champion is…

The 2026 NCAA March Madness tournament gave us rivalries, underdog stories and many nail biting matchups, resulting in the Michigan Wolverines taking home their second title in program history on the men’s side and the UCLA Bruins winning their first ever title on the women’s side.

We had just as exciting matchups in our ship competition, with battles between all our favorite on-screen couples. After a close final round, we finally have a winner to triumph over all the rest. And the couple who hold the most special place in our hearts is… NOVICTOR!! Nova and Victor from Zombies 4 have won Young Entertainment’s 2026 battle of one true pairs.

Victor and Nova first connect through their shared visions and dreams. Their first meeting takes place at the Blood Fruit Orchard and even through tense moments including a backflip, the duo recognize they are not as different as their communities try to convince them. They both bond on a deeper level, able to be vulnerable together and unite their opposing worlds.

Here are some of your favorite quotes of Nova and Victor talking about one another<3

Nova: “It’s you.”

Victor: “It’s you.”

Nova: “I’ve been having visions of you.”

Victor: “That is crazy, ’cause me too.”
