Having once been spotted together at members club Soho House in 2016, rumours circulated that they had entered into a relationship.
However, the romance was never confirmed.
The pair once entertained a red carpet crowd with their hilarious antics at a GQ event in 2018.
As Caroline was capturing the attention of photographers, the English rapper stood behind the posing presenter in an epic photobomb.
After pulling several silly faces, Caroline realised what was going on and the two burst into laughter.
Along with sharing an infectious sense of humour, the pair both battled with their mental health.
The rapper, real name Stephen Paul Manderson, has been open about dealing with depression and anxiety.
In 2021, during an interview with the Evening Standard, Stephen described his mission to improve mental health after becoming a father.
In a conversation with cricketer Andrew Flintoff for Heads Together, Stephen said: "I think I was born with anxiety."
He added that he even had to take days off school, as it's something he has dealt with his whole life.

Who organised Flackstock?
The festival was organised by her sister Jody and mother Christine, who said Flackstock is the "perfect way to remember her singing, dancing and most of all laughing".
