The dating rumours of Theo James and Shailene Woodley seem to find no end. The buzz has kicked off from the day the duo began shooting for the science-fiction franchise "Divergent" series. As the romance gossips have now surfaced again, James and Woodley's relationship is claimed to be the reason behind the delay in James's marriage with longtime girlfriend Ruth Kearney.
James has been officially dating the Irish actress Ruth Kearney since 2009. The duo even got engaged last year. Post the engagement, the wedding date is being postponed constantly. James, who appeared as Tobias 'Four' Eaton for "Divergent" franchise, and Woodley, who portrayed the role of Tris Prior, played on-screen lovers in the series, based on the book of same name authored by Veronica Roth.
The talks began when James and Woodley were spotted holding hands and sharing dessert, Headlines & Global News revealed. The 31-year-old actor even leant for a kiss and the duo seemed to be quite comfortable in each other's companionship. Later, the rumours had faded as James claimed to be only friends with Woodley.
Though the reason behind the wedding delay is obscure, sources have speculated that the actor is waiting for the release of the last installment "The Divergent: Ascendant" so, that there won't be any hindrance in their honeymoon plans. However, the last installment seems to be in jeopardy, as Lionsgate wants to release a TV series for it with a possible spin-off.
The cast of the franchise is not up for a TV series. They wish to do only movies. The lead actress from the franchise, Woodley, does not seem to have taken any new projects after Snowden and has not denied her chance at politics too, The Hill reported.
She has been actively supporting Bernie Sanders. James is reportedly dwindling between a big shot in Hollywood after "Allegiant" movie's failure and marriage plans.
Though the shooting of the movie-turned-TV series has not yet begun, the release date of "Ascendant" is June 2017. Due to the failure of the third installment "Allegiant" at the box-office and the negative comments by the critics, Lionsgate has decided to release the fourth part in the form of TV movie which will consist of around 10 - 13 episodes.
The fate of the series will be decided according to the feedback garnered from its fans and reviewers. This decision of the makers has left the actors stunned.
Watch Woodley and James best moments together.
