Beloved actress Tiffani Thiessen, who many people know as Kelly Kapowski in the hit sitcomSaved by the Bell, ran into a familiar face from the series after more than 20 years in a special moment.

Actor Patrick Fabian, who played Professor Jeremiah Lasky in the sequel series, Saved by the Bell: The College Years, which ran from 1993 to 1994, revealed the exciting reunion to fans on social media, sharing a photo of himself posing for a selfie with Thiessen after not seeing each other for over two decades.

He also added a photo from their '90s TV show that showed Fabian looking like a suave college professor, reading from a book, as Thiessen's Kapowski looked at him all dreamy-eyed, clearly smitten.

"'Kelly & The Professor' - The Sequel!" declared Fabian alongside the snap. "Impossibly, I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing @tiffanithiessen in person for over 20 years….and it was worth the wait…"

He shared strong praise for the 51-year-old, sharing a bit about what they got up to during the reunion as he went on, "she still lights up a room and makes you feel like a million bucks to be her presence…..we got to catch up, trade working actor stories & share about our families. A real treat."

Fabian ended his note with a special callout to the fans, writing, "Many thanks to all the #SavedByTheBell fans who still shout us out.🙏💙."
