Freida Pinto has finally admitted she is dating Dev Patel.
The 24-year-old actress - who has always denied being romantically involved with her 'Slumdog Millionaire' co-star - has confessed the smitten pair are an item, but insists the relationship is in its early stages.
She is quoted by Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "The friendship blossomed after the film, it got even stronger. This is all new to us. He's a lovely boy."
Although Freida has only just spoken openly about the romance, 19-year-old Dev's mother Anita recently confirmed the pair were dating.
She said: "First it was the film and now everything else seems to have slotted into place. Life can't get any better for him.
"Freida is really beautiful and I am really happy for them."
The pair grew close when they played childhood sweethearts Jamal and Latika in Danny Boyle's Academy Award-winning film about a young boy's journey from the slums of India to appearing on TV quiz show 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'.
In February, their 'Slumdog Millionaire' co-star Anil Kapoor claimed the couple were having a secret relationship.
