They're all over each other's Instagram! This picture in particular sparked some rumors as Tom tagged their location as South Africa (on a vacation together?) and the fact that they look like they're both wearing pajamas.

Whether or not they're dating, they definitely look cute together.

When asked about the two's relationship back on set, Rupert said, "There was always something. There was a little bit of a spark."

He added that "there were some sparks" but emphasized that at the time they were all pretty young.

“We were kids. It was like any kind of playground romance," Rupert added, before noting that "I didn't have any sparks. I was spark-free."
