The "Spider-Man" costars Tom Holland and Zendaya were photographed kissing, years after denying reports that they were dating.

On Friday, Page Six published photos of the two stars kissing in an Audi driven by Holland. Another image showed the actors laughing with each other inside the car.

According to the publication, Holland and Zendaya were spotted packing on PDA at a red light on Thursday in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, where the Disney Channel alum's mom lives.

Additional photos posted by Page Six showed the costars walking out of a home with Zendaya's mom, Claire Stoermer.

Holland and Zendaya met through their roles as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and MJ, respectively, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

They first teamed up in 2017's "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and reprised their roles in 2019's "Spider-Man: Far From Home," in which their characters began dating. Next, they'll return to the big screen in "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which is set for release on December 17.

Since 2017, fans have speculated that the two stars had a romantic relationship, even referring to them as "Tomdaya."

In July of that year, People reported that Holland and the "Euphoria" star were dating,

"They started seeing each other while they were filming 'Spider-Man,'" an anonymous source told the publication. "They've been super careful to keep it private and out of the public eye but they've gone on vacations with each other and try and spend as much time as possible with one another."

Zendaya and the "Cherry" star denied the report on Twitter.

"Wait wait...my favorite is when it says we go on vacations together HA! I haven't been on a vacation in years! hbu @TomHolland1996 ???" Zendaya tweeted at the time.

In response, Holland said: "@Zendaya Does the press tour count ??"

Later, Zendaya insisted that she and Holland were just friends during an interview with Variety.

Since then, the two stars have praised each other in interviews, posted birthday tributes, and trolled each other on social media.

In a 2021 cover story for British GQ, Holland said Zendaya helped him learn how to navigate his fame.

"She totally changed the way I am able to be more comfortable in public," he said.

In the same interview, the British actor spoke about how "frustrating" and "nerve-wracking" it can be when people speculate about his relationships.

"It means that if you are dating someone, you have to be really conscious of their feelings, because if something does happen between the two of you, it's not just happening between the two of you, it's happening in front of the entire world," he said. "And it can be very complicated. It's one of the things I worry about most, of all the things in my career."

Holland was last linked to the actress Nadia Parkes. The two were linked in May 2020, and Holland went on to post photos of her twice on his Instagram.

Zendaya was last linked to her "Euphoria" costar Jacob Elordi. The two were seen kissing in New York City in February 2020. By September of that year, the pair's apparent romantic relationship had fizzled out, and Elordi is now dating the model Kaia Gerber.

Representatives for Holland and Zendaya didn't immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
