While we're not sure how "steamy" the situation was based on a few photographs, the kiss took place in Holland's Audi which had stopped at a red light, according to Page Six,

Holland could be seen holding Zendaya's face and leaning in to kiss her.

On the same day, Zendaya's mother, Claire Stoermer was photographed walking out of a residence with Zendaya and Holland, Page Six reported.

Previously denied dating rumours

The kiss came as a shock to fans as they had denied dating rumours as far back as 2017.

Holland and Zendaya had starred in 2017's "Spider-Man: Homecoming", in which Holland acted as Peter Parker (Spider-Man) and Zendaya acted as his classmate and love interest, MJ.

In 2017, a source told celebrity news site People that the pair were dating, had gone on vacations together, and tried to spend as much time as possible with one another.

Zendaya and Holland later denied the rumours in a tweet:

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 ??? https://t.co/zSkvcfzzTa

In July 2019, Holland was seen holding hands with Olivia Bolton At Hyde Park in London, reported Daily Mail.

However, sources told The Sun in Apr. 2020 that Holland and Bolton had apparently broken up.

Zendaya was also spotted with "Euphoria" cast mate Jacob Elordi multiple times between Aug. 2019 and Mar. 2020, Page Six added.
