Theo James may have found the perfect way to dispel “Divergent” romance between him and his co-star Shailene Woodley - by getting engaged to his girlfriend Ruth Kearney!

Theo James and Ruth Kearney have been in a relationship for a long time so this engagement doesn’t come as a shock, but all the “Divergent” fans are pretty disappointed that nothing will really happen to their favorite onscreen couple.

According to Movie News Guide, “James shared the same sentiments as Woodley and said, “We’re not dating.” The interviewer, however, noted that the stars’ chemistry might be due to the fact that they are both good friends in real life.”

Seeing how the actor has been talking about turning 30, he also may have felt that the time is right to get engaged.

According to Master Herald, “Apparently, Irish actress Ruth Kearney, who obviously has all the right reasons to be worried that she might lose her boyfriend to the beauteous Shailene Woodley, is about to be engaged with Theo James, thus quashing rumors that Theo and Shailene are starting to play beautiful music together.”

Also according to the most recent one about his Boss cologne campaign, “Divergent” star wanted to show that he has matured into a reliable and dependable man.

In light of turning thirty, he spoke about his ripe “manhood” to Yahoo! News.

He said, “I quite like proper manhood, if you can call it that. I think coming from being the youngest of lots of siblings, I was always feeling like I wanted to be older, and I was always feeling perpetually young. Whereas, when you reach thirty, you’re not pretending anymore. You’re definitely an adult. It’s quite fun in a way, it’s good.”

The rumors circling Theo James and Shailene Woodley has subsided with the engagement rumor, which isn’t surprising given their steady ways. But that doesn’t mean that there are some very real and palpable sparks between the ”Divergent” stars.

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.
