Crush. An intense – and at times short-lived – attraction or infatuation toward someone.

Who doesn’t love a little harmless crush? You lock eyes with a barista, spot someone cute on a plane, or let out a slight giggle while talking to one of your friends and BAM. Crush central.

Celebrity crushes are the most fun. Just a little doe-eyed moment for someone you may never meet, yet are hopelessly, absolutely, head-over-heels, all googly eyes for. Our collective Cosmo crush? Sigh. They’re the dreamiest.

This month, we’re spotlighting Ishaan Khatter, Louai Alama, and Khaleel Aqrabawi.

Ishaan Khatter

There’s a reason Ishaan Khatter is a centrefold in our February issue. His effortlessly chic style, adorable smile and seamless acting skills may just make your heart beat a little faster. Don’t even get us started on his smoulder – we may never stop typing… He’s undeniably, unequivocally, the ultimate heart throb of our generation.

Louai Alama

Fashion style? Check. Jewellery brand? Check. A love language that makes us all swoon? Triple check. Fostering connections built on trust and consistency, Louai is simply everyone’s dream emotionally intelligent man. And with jawline goals! Could your Cosmo crush get any better?

Khaleel Aqrabawi

There’s just something about Khaleel Aqrabawi… Trust us, we are not easily impressed. Maybe it’s the quiet confidence, or seeing him in a suit and tie, or perhaps it’s the effortlessly cool aura that does all the talking before he even says a word. Whatever it is, it’s working… we’re drooling. Consider this your warning: once he’s on your radar, there’s no turning back.
