Chris Pine and Annabelle Wallis' love story: How Hollywood's 'it' couple sparked romance and quarantined together
We are still pretty shaken up about the divorce of Channing and Jenna Dewan Tatum. But, you know what helps you get over a relationship, finding a new OTP. And boy, have we found a good one. Chris Pine, the oh-so-dreamy pilot Steve in 'Wonder Woman,' may have found his new lady love in the British actress Annabelle Wallis.
The good-looking pair was first linked to each other after being spotted together at the Heathrow airport in London on March 29. Soon enough, an insider revealed to US Weekly that Chris and Annabelle are in fact, dating and that the 'Wrinkle in Time' actor had to do a bit of wooing to get Annabelle – who was dating someone else – to go out with him.
"She was seeing someone else when they met,” according to the insider. “They kept it casual for the beginning. Chris was very attentive and wooed her to get her attention away from the other guy.”
This is not Annabelle's first romance with a famous Chris. She was reportedly in a relationship with the 'Coldplay' singer Chris Martin for two years. However, that ended in 2017 and she seems to have learned a couple of valuable lessons from that relationship.
“It becomes hard when you know about someone’s personal life. It’s just distracting. It’s a whole other job in itself if you go down that road,” she had told Sydney Morning Herald in a 2017 interview. “I love the person I love, but it means so much to me that I like to keep it safe. I have nothing to hide. It’s just that when you have people in your life that you care about, you get very protective of them and it’s not about you anymore. It’s about other people and the ones you love are the ones you protect like a lioness.”
This is probably why she is very cautious with her new love as well. However, the insider claims that the duo has already gone on a vacation to Hawaii together and that she is “totally Chris’ type”.
Did you know the couple was isolating together during lockdown? According to Daily Mail, they were frequently seen on grocery runs or taking care of errands and were spotted making a coffee run in Los Angeles, California in Chris's gorgeous vintage red Alpha Romeo sports car. Photos of the pair show they were wearing masks, in accordance with the California governor's requirement.
So, safe to say, this is the couple we are going to fawn over for the foreseeable future.
