The pair, both 28, famously met on set of the film Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, and immediately, they developed a strong bond. They played lovers in the Marvel series, and fans of the movies quickly began to wonder if they had taken their love off the screen and into real life too.

They were often seen hanging out and had a series of adorable interactions during the press tour ahead of the film's release. But the two insisted that they were just friends, and for years, they continuously shut down relationship rumors, while only growing closer.
