Both lovers started dating in 2009 after meeting as students at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. They were still dating while he worked on the Divergent series and rumours were out about their split saying he was with now dating The Divergent co-star Shailene Woodley but it turned out false when James was spotted holding Kearney’s hands as usual in an award ceremony.
