Killing Eve star Jodie Comer’s relationship status has been confirmed by a fan who is thought to have “leaked photographs” from the star’s private social media account.
The 27-year-old actress is best known for playing serial killer Villanelle on the popular BBC show but her real-life relationship has made headlines this week.
Jodie is thought to be dating American sports player James Blake after a Twitter user shared snaps of the pair looking loved-up on the social media site.
The Liverpudlian beauty can be seen smiling proudly with James, 26, in one of the leaked photographs posted by an account named @nuggets0329.
James can be seen with his arm around Jodie’s shoulders in the back of a vehicle as the pair both wear hoodies with the hood up.

In another sweet snap, the pair pose for a selfie together with a filter.
The photographs of Jodie and James are from a private Instagram account “a fan gained access to” after their request was accepted by Jodie, according to the Mirror.
Jodie and James are yet to publicly confirm that they are in a relationship.
According to Yahoo news, James has deleted his social media profiles since his name and photographs were leaked.

Jodie has been targeted by a Twitter mob after it was made public that James is an alleged registered Donald Trump supporter.
The TV star began trending on the social media platform after fans began to speculate her relationship status, with many furiously accusing her of dating someone who is a Republican.
MailOnline published that official US records revealing that James is a registered Republican voter – leaving Jodie’s fans fuming.
Fans have accused Jodie of being a “performative ally” as she’s a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ community, which many see as incompatible with dating someone with Republican views.

She also recently took part in Pride Inside, an online festival set up by Amnesty International, UK Black Pride, ParaPride, Gendered Intelligence and Stonewall.
One person tweeted: “Jodie Comer actually scare me bc she’ll be the biggest advocate for gay/trans rights, anti racism and women’s rights but then date a man who believes in nothing of the sort. is she okay?”
Another wrote: “Jodie Comer dating a Trump supporter, while she’s portraying an LGBT character and reading poetry as an “ally” is not only wrong but disgusting. Also her posts about BLM now look like performance activism.”
Others criticised the attacks against Jodie, saying that the actress shouldn’t be subjected to hate based on pure speculation.
One fan penned: “If you’re gonna cancel Jodie Comer bc her boyfriend is a republican then at least show receipts bc last I checked nobody even knew who she was dating???”
While another added: “So everyone is cancelling Jodie Comer for dating a republican…yet no one knows if the name they have matches up to the guy she was photographed with?? So without any actual evidence the internet is “cancelling” another celebrity. Worms for brains.”
Jodie has not addressed any of these claims, or confirmed whether she is dating James.
