While the rumors keep on swirling that the decision of Theo James and Ruth Kearney to postpone their wedding at a later time had something to do with the rumored feelings of the 31-year-old British actor to the 23-year-old Shailene Woodley, it seems those are merely hearsays.
It has been reported late last year that the couple decided to defer their wedding because the career of Theo James has switched to full gear with increasing movie assignments and endorsement offers after completing his work on “The Divergent” movie series where he stars opposite Shailene Woodley.
In addition to filming “Underworld 5” with Kate Beckinsale in Prague in the Czech Republic since last year, Theo James also had his Hugo Boss campaign, which accordingly, put him in the running to become the next James Bond.
Apparently, after “Spectre,” shown in November last year, Daniel Craig has decided to retire from the franchise and move on to other projects.
And reports have it that Theo James is being considered because he is British, first and foremost, and he has the perfect smolder for the much-coveted role, notes the Korea Portal.
It is likely that if and when Theo gets the James Bond role, his girlfriend shall be very happy for him and that she is surely willing to wait a little longer for their wedding day to come because such an opportunity coming along Theo’s way does not come quite often.
No longer worried
Contrary to previous reports, Irish actress Ruth Kearney is actually not worried that Theo James would fall for another girl, both in his real and reel life.
There have been plenty of speculations a few months ago that Theo James and Ruth Kearney have parted ways because of the rumored relationship between the actor and his “Divergent” movie series co-star Shailene Woodley that began on the set of the four-film franchise.
However, it seems that Ruth Kearney has already proven the faithfulness of her boyfriend over the years and she is no longer worried that Theo would fall in love with somebody from the silver screen.
In fact, the two of them were spotted in November last year in Prague, the Czech Republic, packing some PDAs where the British actor was filming the fifth installment of the “Underworld” movie franchise
Reports have it that the production of the movie, officially titled “Underworld: Next Generation” has begun on November 26 and will run for a period of 10 weeks.
Apparently, Ruth decided to join her boyfriend in the country where they were spotted on November 27 enjoying some romantic sightseeing in Prague and also sharing a kiss.
“Underworld: Next Generation” shall also feature Kate Beckinsale, whom Theo also worked with in the fourth movie of the series titled “Underworld: Awakening” released in 2012.
No regrets with the proposal
There are also reports going around lately that Theo James is regretting his wedding proposal to Ruth Kearney because apparently, he realized that he wants to be with Shailene Woodley, notes Movie News Guide.
But it seems that those are just mere rumors meant more to build the promotions for the third movie in the “Divergent” series titled “Divergent: Allegiant” due to hit global theaters in March this year.
The fourth and final movie of the series, titled “Divergent: Ascendant,” will hit theaters in March next year.
As far as Theo is concerned, he has no regrets proposing to his long-time girlfriend Ruth Kearney because it was forthcoming, aside from the fact that it was the right thing for him to do since he loves her very much.
Apparently, the rumors of Theo and Shailene dating started because the two stars have such excellent on-cam chemistry in the “Divergent” movie series that it can easily be mistaken for the real thing.
While rumors about the blossoming on- and off-cam relationship between the British actor and Shailene Woodley continue to persist, it seems that Ruth Kearney already has an insurance policy safely tucked – an engagement ring.
