Jamie Borthwick has sparked speculation that he is dating Jazzy Phoenix.
The EastEnders actor, 30, has appeared in the BBC soap as Jay Brown for nearly 20 years.
His co-star Jazzy, 24, only joined the show towards the end of last year as Nadine Keller but the pair are already rumoured to be romantically involved.
Jazzy took to social media on Tuesday to share a mirror selfie of herself and Jamie which she had edited with a black-and-white filter.
She wrote: 'Weekly gossip = complete.'

Earlier this year, it was thought that Jazzy was in a relationship with her other co-star Bobby Brazier.
Seemingly confirming romance with the Strictly star, 21, as she shared a snap of a bunch of pink and white flowers which has since been deleted.
Just hours before, Bobby - who portrays Freddie Slater in the BBC soap - shared a picture of the same flowers bouquet, which was wrapped in off-white paper.
Jazzy, who plays sex worker Nadine on EastEnders, added a smiley face and white heart emoji to the post.
Meanwhile, almost a year from when Bobby reached the final of Strictly Come Dancing, it was announced that Jamie is gearing up to take part in the show.
His stint will mark a return to Strictly Come Dancing after he competed in the Christmas Special last year, being crowned champion alongside professional dancer Nancy Xu.
He said: 'I had a ball doing the Strictly Christmas special last year, so when I was asked to join for this series it was the easiest yes!
'This is a fresh challenge and it will be so different to be learning a new dance every week and for the public to have their say.
