Zendaya is one of the most popular actors of the millennial/Gen Z era. Starting her career on Disney Channel’s “Shake It Up” back in 2010, Zendaya is now best known for her starring role on HBO's “Euphoria.” When it comes to her personal life though, she is best known for her speculated romance with co-star Jacob Elordi.

Rumors began circulating in August 2019 that Zendaya was dating Elordi after they were spotted vacationing together in Greece. At the time, Elordi was quick to set the record straight during his interview with GQ Australia, where he claimed Zendaya is like a “sister,” later adding that he feels close with all of his “Euphoria” co-stars.

"She's an incredible artist and a very caring person to all of us. But we're all really close,” he said when approached about the dating rumors.

Whether Elordi still feels that same sense of sibling love for Zendaya is unclear after new photos surfaced of the two parading around New York City together on Monday, looking like a couple. At one point, Elordi bent over to kiss Zendaya on her head as she perused through her phone, Seventeen reported.

Zendaya has yet to comment on the new photos and it seems she also has also tried to squash the dating rumors or, at least, doesn’t feel comfortable commenting on their status. Last month, she presented Elordi with the Rising Star honor at the American Australian Association Arts Awards in New York and called him her “best friend” in the process, according to E! News.

On-screen, the two actors play characters that despise each other but based on their recent photos together, it is clear their real-life relationship is a close one.
