Despite the frenzy, several fans were quick to point out that the matching tattoos may simply celebrate the pair’s shared history rather than hint at a romantic relationship. One user attempted to shut down the rumours, writing, “Gals, I feel like you all totally lost the plot in a major way—Frankie and Noah were in a movie together (that’s what the tattoo is about). THEY AREN’T DATING, Frankie has had a girlfriend for a while now.”The tattoo choice holds special significance for both stars. Noah Cyrus voiced the title character, Ponyo, in the 2008 English-language dub of Miyazaki’s acclaimed animated film, while Frankie Jonas lent his voice to Sōsuke, Ponyo’s human friend. The pair also performed the English version of the film’s theme song together.Neither Frankie nor Noah has addressed the dating speculation.
