Brandon Routh And Rachael Leigh Heat Up Rumors With Date Night

Brandon Routh and Rachael Leigh Cook are raising eyebrows and quickening pulses since being spotted on a cozy movie date night in Los Angeles on July 25. The longtime fan favorites were snapped holding hands and beaming as they entered a theater, instantly spurring speculation that their friendship could be turning into something more.

The She's All That star kept it coolly chic in a classic pair of blue jeans, a sharp navy utility blazer, and a playful pink handbag, with her signature effortlessly cool style in full effect. Meanwhile, the Superman Returns star kept his look sleek, wearing an all-black outfit that consisted of a button-up and well-tailored slacks, which made him look elegant and confident. But beyond fashion, it was their chemistry that really stole the show.

Routh and Cook have not publicly addressed the nature of their relationship, so their recent sighting would definitely hint at something more than professional camaraderie. Neither actor is a stranger to Hallmark's warm and fuzzy world. Cook recently appeared in Sisterhood, Inc., while Routh, having long ago graduated from the next-Superman-to-be-identified category, once played the hunk in The Nine Lives of Christmas series. With their Hallmark roots and overlapping film schedules, it's not difficult to speculate that the co-stars may have had off-screen sparks.

Contributing to the buzz is the timing. And it's been a split of sorts for Routh, who in May finalized his divorce from fellow actress Courtney Ford six months after the couple shared plans to do so. With that chapter behind him, fans are now eager to find out if Routh is set to pen a new one, and this time with Cook by his side. For now, their representatives are keeping things close to their chests, but Rachael Leigh Cook and Brandon Routh are giving us plenty to see. Whether the development represents a break from the past or simply a friendly frolic, Hollywood hasn't been this interested in a relationship, oh, since the last red carpet surprise. This movie date night may be only the opening scene of an even more extraordinary love story.
