Dating rumors escalated in February when the two stars were photographed once again on the streets of NYC – except this time, they appeared to share a romantic smooch. On Feb. 3, Zendaya and Jacob explored the Strand Bookstore, picked up some green juice, and generally looked adorable together. “They were showing each other things on their phones and laughing,” an eyewitness told E! News. “She seemed to be really enjoy being with him. At one point he reached over and kissed her on the forehead. She had a big smile on her face and was very comfortable with them.”
Two days later, the pair were caught attending the Broadway play Dear Evan Hansen together. According to a source for People, Zendaya and Jacob were cuddling throughout the show. “They were exchanging whispers and glances for sure,” the source said. “They seemed very relaxed around each other and had an ease about them. It looked very romantic.” They even visited the Blue Room after the show to take photos with the cast. “She did not intro him as her boyfriend, but it was very obvious that they were together,” another eyewitness told People. “They were trying not to hold hands and stuff and give away that they were a couple since there were a lots of people around.”
Finally, on Feb. 6, both actors attended the Solar Dream Launch Event by Fendi in NYC. The two declined to pose for a photo together, but they were both photographed at the event separately. A source later told E! News that the couple had been together for months, starting out as close friends and becoming romantic after Euphoria ended. “They have been inseparable since last summer and have been making time for each other in between projects,” the source said. “Jacob has met Zendaya‘s family, and everyone adores him. They have a lot of fun together and have a lot in common.”
