But this isn’t the first time they’ve sparked dating rumours. They were previously photographed together in 2017, but the Mad Max: Fury Road star denied it, saying she literally had “never met him”. “I met him for, like, three seconds. I was just like, ‘Hi!’ because our kids go to the same school,” she told Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
