Harry Styles and Chris Pine have been spotted reuniting months after their ‘Spitgate’ video went viral.

The Don’t Worry Darling co-stars were photographed hugging in Brazil on Tuesday in a video posted to TikTok, after Styles was accused of spitting on Pine’s lap at the film’s disastrous premiere in Venice in September, New York Post reports.

Styles, 28, wore a black shirt with his hair in a top knot, while Pine, 42, was all smiles in a white tee as they drank with friends.

While neither actor has directly denied the alleged scandal, Pine’s rep told Page Six in September that the spit story was a “complete fabrication”.

The Emmy nominee’s spokesperson went on to call the story “ridiculous” at the time, claiming, “There is nothing but respect between these two men, and any suggestion otherwise is a blatant attempt to create drama that simply does not exist.”

Styles, for his part, joked with concertgoers at Madison Square Garden the next day that he “popped over to Venice to spit on Chris Pine”.

The Grammy winner’s then-girlfriend, director Olivia Wilde, told talk show host Stephen Colbert at the time that Styles “did not” spit.

“I think it’s a perfect example of people who look for drama anywhere they can,” she said.

Wilde and Styles have since called it quits, with news breaking of their split last month after almost two years together.

Wilde, who has son Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 6, with her ex-fiance Jason Sudeikis, made headlines on Tuesday for rocking a nipple-baring Dior dress at the People’s Choice Awards red carpet.

Many social media users are referring to Wilde’s daring fashion choice as her “revenge dress”.

She and the British musician have “no bad blood”, a source told Page Six in November, calling the break-up the “right thing” for the duo.

“Harry didn’t dump Olivia, or vice versa,” the insider claimed.

”They’re on a break. It’s impossible to have a relationship when he’s in every continent next year and Olivia has her job and her kids.”
