Colton Haynes, Emily Bett Rickards’ Dating Rumors Start Again With Intimate Photoshoot?

Colton Haynes and Emily Bett Rickards were rumored to be dating each other in the past because of their very close friendship.

Things seemed to sizzle out, however, when the actor all but confirmed that he did date guys in the past through a Tumblr post a couple of months ago.

In January, however, hope for their ship rose again with the very intimate Vanity Fair photoshoot.

The "Arrow" co-stars have been showing off their closeness to each other off-screen and their recent photoshoot with Tyler Shields for the magazine seemed to prove how close they are.

Sharing some images from the photoshoot on Instagram, fans freaking out, several still hoping that Colton Haynes and Emily Bett Rickards' dating rumors were true.

One particular photo is a close-up of the "San Andreas" star with his face being covered in kisses and Rickards planting one on his cheek. Another has them actually touching lips.

Thanks to their closeness, the shoot wasn't awkward at all, according to the famed photographer.

In fact, they reportedly knew each other so well that they were willing to do anything Shields asked them to do - even swap clothes for a shot. They were also eager to work hard for the job, even if they had to swap outfits for the day.

"By @thetylershields with @emilybett ...so many more to come ;) We definitely didn't hold back..." The TV star captioned one intriguing shot.

"They made it very easy because they were not afraid to give me everything they had," the photographer said in the magazine's accompanying interview. "With Colton and Emily it was perfect. You could really feel they knew each other and trusted each other, and that was amazing."

The cross-dressing photo was promptly showered with all kinds of love from fans. Check out their "gender swap" snap below.
