Posted to Twitter, the photos show a trip the two took with some friends, including a photo of Elordi giving Dorfman a kiss on the cheek.

The photos were taken before Dorfman came out as a trans woman, and since she appeared masculine in the photos, many believed this was confirmation that Elordi was coming out as queer.
