Stephen Merchant, Ricky Gervais' comedy partner, is believed to be dating Australian beauty Rose Byrne, after the pair were spotted leaving the cinema hand-in-hand earlier this week.
Stephen, who co-wrote The Office with Gervais and appeared in Hot Fuzz, beamed as waiting paps snapped him with Rose, who is in the UK shooting X-Men: First Class alongside James McAvoy, January Jones and Michael Fassbender. It was confirmed earlier this year that Rose has been cast as Dr Moira MacTaggert, a scientist who is also the love interest of Dr. Charles Xavier (McAvoy). SOURCE: DAILY MAIL
