Theo James and Shailene Woodley may have had the sparks long before “Divergent” and possibly even girlfriend Ruth Kearney. Maybe Ruth Kearney does have something to worry about.

According to Fashion & Style, “According to some reports, rumors of James and Woodley dating started much before they agreed to the “Divergent” franchise and his girlfriend, Ruth Kearney has been keeping an eye on the two ever since.”

Having an onscreen chemistry does mean that there is some undeniable attraction in real life between Theo and Shailene.

But the reality is that Theo James and Shailene Woodley have been romantically linked since “Divergent” premiered, but they have never been together. The reason why may be that Theo James is much too “cynical” for her, but not his girlfriend Ruth Kearney.

According to Australia Network, Theo James revealed that he comes from a cynical family.

“We’re a jokingly cynical family. I was 13 and I had written this really cheesy song that I wanted to sing. I sat him down and I had my guitar and I just opened my heart. I finished the song which was terrible, and he just burst out laughing,” he said.

But Theo James and his “Divergent” co-star has a lot more in common than people think. They both prefer to stay out of the Hollywood spotlight.

According to the Evening Standard, Theo James said that he doesn’t care for fame. He said, “Some people embrace it, some people like it and props to them if it works for them… acting is my job… It’s not like I go to trendy parties, that’s not particularly my thing.”

Another rumor has it that he may be engaged to his long-time girlfriend Ruth Kearney. Despite all the dating rumors surrounding him and Shailene Woodley, it looks like Theo James has his eyes on one woman only.

According to Movie News Guide, “a news outlet reported that James and Kearney were spotted looking for engagement rings. James’ rep allegedly responded to the issue, but neither confirmed nor denied the rumor and simply said that he has no comment on his personal life.”
