Though it was hard to overlook the exact timeline of when the lovebirds started dating each other, it could be safe to assume that their 2017 film was a stepping stone in bringing them together.

Soon after their first film hit the world, they were encircled with dating rumors however, the duo initially denied it. The Euphoria actress told Variety at the time,
“We are friends. He’s a great dude. He’s literally one of my best friends.”
Despite the denial, their secret love soon became public when they were spotted kissing in a car. Their frequent moments together further fueled the rumors. After keeping their love under wraps for a few years, they eventually shared their thoughts on the downside of being a celebrity.

“One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world.”

There were even rumors about the duo getting engaged however it eventually died down after a while when the Dune star’s mother shared how it was nothing more than “clickbait.” While they are not in the engagement phase, they surely are serious about their relationship and continue to be low-key about it.
