Insurgent male lead Theo James is hot commodity these days, and the fact that he remains tight-lipped about his lovelife seems to add to the mystery.

The entertainment press cannot seem to eliminate the guesswork on his real object of affection. Meantime, adoring female fans have fuelled speculations that he has broken up with his long-time girlfriend Ruth Kearney before Insurgent's March 2015 premiere. Is he and Divergent/Insurgent co-star Shailene Woodley seriously dating? The most that curious followers are getting are comments from co-stars like AnselElgort, Shailene's romantic interest in The Fault in Our Stars, who plays her brother Caleb in the Divergent trilogy.

Indeed, the British actor, who is the youngest in the brood of Philip Taptiklis and Jane Martin, has been as evasive as Four, the character he portrays in Divergent and its sequel. If a picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words, then Theo's photographs with women who have been romantically linked to him say it all. Theo has been photographed with Primeval actress Ruth Kearney at the premiere of Underworld: Awakening in Los Angeles back in January 2012. He looked dashing and she had a contented smile. They undoubtedly make a handsome pair.

Theo is said to have been dating Ruth since 2009. They met when he was still a thespian. When Theo James was paired with Shailene Woodley for the first installment of the adventure flicks based on the books of Veronica Roth, fans were ecstatic. They look charming and cute together. Their chemistry sparked news that they were dating, something that co-star Ansel Elgort belied.

News of Theo James' and Ruth Kearney's rumored breakup has hogged headlines since mid-2014. As far as the hunky 30-year-old 'toast of Hollywood' is concerned, movie commitments are topmost in mind. One rumor he may not nix is the possibility of starring in a solo flick still based on Veronica Roth's books. Leave it to Theo James to strike while the iron is hot, and keep mum about affairs of the heart.
