Little is known about how and when they met each other, since it was before they achieved worldwide fame. It couldn’t be unnoticed that both of them attended the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in Bristol, England, so many believed that they crossed their paths there back in 2009, and probably started dating during the same year.
According to Inquisitr magazine, they stepped out publicly with their romance at the Los Angeles premiere of “Underworld: Awakening” in January 2012.
Although their popularity grew rapidly over the following years, Theo and Ruth kept their relationship low-profile. Like many other couples, they’ve had a lot of ups and downs, and reportedly even broke-up and got back together several times; however, neither of them have commented on the subject.
Shailene Woodley – Rumored
In April 2014, rumors started swirling around that Theo James had ended his romance with Irish actress, and had fallen for his “The Divergent Series” co-star Shailene Woodley.
Their characters were romantically involved on the screen, and in his March 2016 interview with The Fresno Bee magazine, Theo James admitted that both of them just wanted their on-screen relationship to look real. “The hard part of playing the relationship is making sure it doesn’t feel artificial. Hopefully, we did that with this movie” he said. So their on-screen chemistry sparked those rumors, and many believed Theo and Shailene had become an item in real life as well.
Moreover, Fashion & Style magazine reported that the duo was spotted having lunch at a restaurant, and locking their lips while they were waiting for the bill. An insider shared that they “seemed very passionate towards each other.” It turned out later that this article was just an April Fool’s article, a joke. Both of them dismissed the rumors of romance, and claimed that they were nothing more than co-stars and good friends.
In her March 2014 interview with Teen Vogue magazine, Shailene said, “That’s crazy! I never thought about that. I haven’t had time to think about a relationship! I literally have not had a boyfriend in almost five years. I’ve never even hooked up with anybody I’ve worked with on a movie.”
Following his rumored relationship with Shailene Woodley, Theo James sparked rumors that he went on a few dates with famous American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift in May 2014 – it was reported that she was trying to make the handsome actor her new boyfriend. According to Classicalite magazine, she asked her friend to ask Theo’s friend “if there was a chance they could meet up for a date in Los Angeles”, but his friend told her to :go away” and that Theo wasn’t interested in dating her. End of rumors!
Although everyone knew that the famous actor was off the market, many continued to associate him with other famous ladies. Following the release of Andrew Renzi’s 2015 drama film “The Benefactor”, Theo James and Dakota Fanning’s on-screen romance sparked rumors that they had become romantically involved into an off-screen relationship. The rumors turned out to be false, but the two of them proved to be great actors, as they convinced the audience that they were together.
