Naomi Campbell and Skepta posed together for the intimate portrait after they met in November 2016, where they were introduced by British Vogue editor Edward Enninful.
The two have subsequently collaborated on a professional level for the British rap star’s underwear line as part of his MAINS unisex brand.
A series of loving photographs taken by An Lee appear inside the magazine alongside a socially-charged interview in which both celebrities discuss everything from Donald Trump and #GrammysSoMale, to Harvey Weinstein and #MeToo.
The cover has already taken social media by storm after Campbell released a teaser on Instagram on Wednesday which showed the duo leaning in for a kiss.
Even though their faces were concealed in the image, the supermodel’s savvy followers quickly identified both Campbell and Skepta as the seemingly loved-up couple, partly thanks to the grime artist’s recognisable tattoos.
Campbell also posted a shot of herself topless wearing only MAINS boxers, however the 47-year-old quickly deleted the image.
“Please let this be true and not just a pic. You two look sooo hot together,” wrote one commenter.
“This has to be the cover of the year,” added another.
While the pair have yet to confirm whether they are dating, the intimate cover is already adding fuel to the fire as fans speculate as to whether they are in a relationship.
Rumours regarding the pair have been circulating since January after reports emerged that they had enjoyed a number of low-key dates.
The April issue of GQ hits newsstands on Thursday March 8.
