Are Chris Evans and Sandra Bullock the new hot celebrity couple? Not yet, but they may be soon.
According to an E! News source, they’re in the early stages of “getting to know each other.” The source stated, “They are not in a relationship, but they are definitely hanging out and are in the early getting-to-know-each-other phase. They haven’t put a title on it, but they really like each other.”
Rumors began surfacing about the pair in early May when the two were spotted sharing a meal together with Bullock’s friend Chelsea Handler. The previous month, they were also seen around Hollywood with Bullock’s former The Heat co-star Melissa McCarthy.
During their dinner with Handler, a casual observer told OK! Magazine that, “Chelsea looked like the odd man out – Sandy and Chris were talking and joking with each other for much of the time. Chelsea kept chiming in and they would include her but there seemed to be a connection between Chris and Sandy.”
Bullock’s friendship with Handler initially began when the women filmed a skit together for Handler’s late night talk show, Chelsea Lately.
Evans’ admiration for Bullock developed long ago. He has had a crush on her since he was a boy. Evans and Bullock met in 2012 at Vanity Fair’s Oscar party. Three months later he told Playboy that he had a crush on Bullock since seventh grade. “I used to be in love with Sandra Bullock when I was growing up. Sandy B. was my girl. I remember seeing Speed when I was in seventh grade and just thinking, ‘That’s her.’ I can’t say I know her, but from what I’ve heard, she’s fantastic,” he gushed of Bullock. He even told Details magazine that he had a big poster of Bullock on his wall while growing up.
Evans is currently filming Avengers 2: Age of Ultron, while Bullock could begin production on The Heat 2 soon.
