While many fans speculate the "Spider-Man" costars actually began dating years earlier, the couple's prudent navigation of fame and their respective careers means there's been precious little material to go on.Outside their promotional duties as Peter Parker and his love interest, MJ, in the MCU film franchise — their latest movie, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," earned the biggest domestic box office debut in history — the actors rarely broadcast their relationship, on social media or otherwise.
