Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe Dating: New Rumors Emerge; Mackenzie Mauzy PR Stunt Over?
"Outlander" stars Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe have just created another round of dating rumors. The speculations stem from a recent photo that Heughan himself posted on social media. The photo shows him and his co-star cuddling up during a rugby game.
According to PEOPLE, Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe were seen enjoying a rugby match in Cape Town, South Africa and the actor decided to post the picture on Twitter. Fans immediately started reacting, with most commenting that the pair look good together. The comments came despite the denials of the two previously.
Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe have repeatedly denied that they are dating. In fact, Heughan came out in public earlier this year with his girlfriend, Mackenzie Mauzy. However, some fans were quick to note that the relationship may only be for "showmance."
Caitriona Balfe has even said previously that she is "tired" of the dating talk. It appears that Balfe and Sam Heughan are only the best of friends for now. It remains to be seen if they will pursue a romantic relationship in the near future.
Now that a new picture of Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe has emerged, there are speculations that the alleged PR stunt of the actor and Mauzy may finally be over. However, Heughan has yet to make further announcements about the status of his relationship with Mauzy.
