Rumors of a romance between the two stars of Slumdog Millionaire have been circulating for months, but now the young love seems to have been confirmed, with a secret rendezvous in Israel.The mother of Dev Patel, who plays Jamal in the Oscar-winning movie, has confirmed that her son flew out to Israel to join former co-star Freida Pinto, where she is filming for Julian Schnabel's latest film Miral.
According to the British tabloid The Daily Mirror, 18-year-old Patel and 24-year-old Pinto were snapped enjoying an intimate meeting together in Tel Aviv.
Patel's mother told the Mirror: "First it was the film and now everything else seems to have slotted into place. Life can't get any better for him. Freida is really beautiful and I am really happy for them. Yes, we knew he was flying to Israel to see her."
Media reports say that the two spent several hours at a hotel in the city, then visited the port before dinner at a beachfront restaurant.
The reports claim that the two were "smooching and holding hands" to the delight of a passing group of Japanese tourists.
Pinto's latest movie, Miral, is the story of an Arab woman who tries to open an orphanage in Jerusalem following the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
Another report says :
Dev Patel and Frieda Pinto have been photographed on a lunch date.
The 19-year-old former Skins actor and the 24-year-old actress - who played childhood sweethearts in Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning blockbuster Slumdog Millionaire - have denied they are a couple in real life, but rumours could resurface after the pictures showed them looking into each other's eyes.
Dev had apparently flown to Israel especially to visit Frieda, where she is filming her new movie Jerusalem.
An onlooker told The Sun: "They looked very happy together and they didn't seem to care who saw them. Dev couldn't take his eyes off her - and she kept snuggling up to get closer to him."
It was reported in February that Dev, of Harrow, North West London was spotted shopping for rings with Frieda at a High Street jeweller on Valentine's Day.
But the pair refuse to comment on their alleged romance.
Frieda said last month: "I won't talk about my relationship with Dev."
He has said: "She is very beautiful but there's no romance."
Pinto was photographed nestling into Patel's shoulder during a cosy al fresco lunch date. The actress is shooting her latest film, Miral, in Israel and Patel has flown out to see her.
Rumours of a relationship began shortly before Slumdog Millionaire swept the board at the Oscars in February. Pinto, 24, and Patel, who turned 19 this week, denied they were an item, but their cover was blown by co-star Anil Kapoor. "When I meet them, I feel there is something happening," he said, adding that the couple shared "a magical chemistry".
Pinto's ex, Rohan Antao, blamed Patel for their relationship breakdown. "I don't know if they were having a sexual relationship but if I came face to face with him I would have things to say. Now everywhere I go I see them on billboards. I am devastated," he said.
The lovebirds come from very different backgrounds - Pinto is a glamorous former model from Mumbai, while Patel still lives with his mum in Harrow. It was Mrs Patel who persuaded her son to audition for his debut role in the E4 drama Skins, in which he played a sex-mad teenager.
Slumdog Millionaire has propelled both actors to Hollywood stardom. After Miral, Pinto will film a role in Woody Allen's next film, while Patel has been cast in M Night Shyamalan adventure The Last Airbender.
