"The Divergent Series: Ascendant " star Theo James has been engaged with Ruth Kearney for quite a while now, but there is no confirmed wedding date as for now. Many fans are wondering if the delay in the marriage is because of James' closeness with his co-star Shailene Woodley.

To recall, James and Woodley's dating rumors have been buzzing online since the two shared screen in the movie adaptation of Veronica Ruth's science fiction novel. According to Fashion & Style, a source close to the production confirmed that the duo had been dating before they both agreed to play their respective roles in the "Divergent" series.

"They were holding hands and they even shared dessert. When they were waiting for the bill, James leaned in for a kiss and they seemed very passionate towards each other," said the source.

Earlier this year, the English actor told Dazed Digital that his onscreen chemistry with Woodley does not imply that they are dating in real life.

"By that time we had bridged the boundary and the friendship gap and she knew how weird I was and I knew how weird she was. You're feeling each other out and what boundaries you can push and what ones you can't. But yeah she definitely understands what a weirdo I am," the actor reportedly said.

Moreover, the actor has been officially engaged with her longtime girlfriend, Ruth Kearney and is already preparing everything for their marriage.

Meanwhile, Shailene Woodley says that she is unhappy that she came to know about news from media stating that "The Divergent Series: Ascendant" will no longer be on theatres but will be made into TV Spinoff series. Moreover, according to reports, the makers of the film did not inform her personally.

However, fans still need to wait for confirmation whether Shailene Woodley or Theo James will be reprising their roles in "The Divergent Series: Ascendant." Moreover, Theo James has not yet divulge any information yet about his upcoming wedding plans with Ruth Kearney.
