Fans of "The Walking Dead" had mixed reactions when they found out that Norman Reedus and Emily Kinney are dating.
Some were delighted to hear the news, while many were saddened to know that their crush has already found a new love.
The 46-year-old actor and the 29-year-old actress first met on the set of the popular zombie series. Reedus played the role of a zombie hunter named Daryl while Kinney starred as Beth in the show.
Unfortunately, the actress' character was killed off last year but that did not stop the two from seeing each other.
"They had a connection early on in the show," a source told Us Weekly, "but the romance developed recently. They're still pretty guarded about it." According to the website, Norman Reedus and Emily Kinney continue to see each other and he even watches her gigs. "He was one of the first to support her at her concerts when she was still on the show," their insider said.
Last month, the screen heartthrob was seen watching the recording artist's show in Georgia. Die-hard fans of "The Walking Dead" got excited when they noticed that the lead star of their favorite show was there.
During an interview with Us Magazine last year, Emily revealed that Norman was among the first to be in touch with her when they found out that her character was written off the show. "Everyone reached out, though I remember Norman texted me-he's so sweet," the actress said.
The "This is War" singer also admitted that she treasures the gift that the Hollywood actor gave her. "I'm not as much of a collector as everyone else," Kinney said. "(But) I have this turtle shell Norman gave me that I take everywhere."
Just recently, Norman Reedus slammed the dating rumors with Emily Kinney by posting a selfie with Arnold Schwarzenegger on Twitter and wrote "couple alert." His rep also confirmed to MTV that "The Walking Dead" former co-stars are not dating.
