Is this life imitating art?
The Sun has reported that supermodel Naomi Campbell is dating Oscar-nominated actor Michael Fassbender.
Although interracial dating is no longer something to raise one's brows at, the fact that the 37-year-old actor was recently seen on "12 Years a Slave" prompted the "life imitating art" speculation.
This recent update also proved that the catwalk queen has still "got it" at 43. Her recent April issue Shape magazine cover, which showed her baring her toned arms and legs, is one proof of that.
"The two were allegedly seen openly kissing and canoodling at a restaurant with the paper reporting the pair went public with their relationship after they had secretly met up at hotspot Coya on Tuesday in London's upmarket Mayfair district," The Daily Mail said. "A showbiz insider told the paper that the pair were in a cordoned-off area within the members area of the restaurant which gave them plenty of privacy but the pair didn't mind being seen together and were being openly affectionate towards one another."
The Sun's insider allegedly said that Naomi is definitely "smitten" with the German actor and "told friends at the V&A event that she was looking forward to going on a date with the movie star."
Before they were seen together Tuesday, the model had been at a fashion exhibit launch at London's V&A Museum. Incidentally, Michael was in town around the same time, pre-recording an appearance at "The Graham Norton Show" at BBC1. They reportedly later met after their respective appointments.
A pal of Naomi's told the British publication that she "always has famous and rich men chasing after her." So, what is it about Michael that made him stand out from the pack?
It appears Michael's attraction to Naomi is a continuation of his rumored short-lived romance with co-star Lupita Nyong'o, another dark-skinned beauty. However, it was reportedly more "a casual thing" that bit the dust when Lupita became busy after winning an Oscar.
Both Naomi and Michael have not commented on this story yet.
