Aussie TV star sparks dating rumours with Vikings actor - as they are spotted together at several A-list events
TV presenter Bella Varelis and Australian actor Sam Corlett have sparked dating rumours, as the pair have been spotted together several times in recent weeks. The 7Bravo presenter, 30, and Vikings franchise star, 29, have allegedly been seen arriving at A-list events together, but are apparently keeping their relationship quiet. They walked the red carpet at the Logie Awards in Sydney on Sunday, and got cosy at the Ksubi by Lissy Roddy launch on Wednesday, reported The Daily Telegraph. 'There's been a couple of times now they have arrived at an event together and left together,' claimed a source. 'But once there, they did their best to not be spotted together. Sam in particular is notoriously private.' Daily Mail has reached out to Bella and Sam for comment. Bella rose to fame on season eight of The Bachelor in 2020 with Locky Gilbert, and lost to her rival Irena Srbinovska. Last year, she replaced Nicole Kidman's niece Lucia Hawley as a 7Bravo Live From E! presenter. The TV star has undergone a makeover since her days as a runner-up on The Bachelor. Bella, who was last known to be dating photographer Will Stokoe until they split three years ago, underwent a nose job and eyelid lift surgery in one eye in 2022. At the time, the star admitted she had been 'lying' to her fans for ten days and using old photos on social media to conceal her surgery. Meanwhile, Sam is one of Australia's most promising new acting talents, and appeared on Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina opposite Miranda Otto in 2020. He also portrayed Leif Erikson in Vikings: Valhalla and Marshall Lawson in Territory. It comes after Bella revealed a sneak peek at what she eats in a day to maintain her fit figure. Earlier this year, she took to her Instagram Stories with a picture showcasing her 'day on a plate'. The Australian model told fans she tries to keep her meals 'balanced', but will often eat out for dinner and snack on fruit. In the image she shared, Bella plated up four meals she incorporates into her day-to-day diet. One plate contained four figs cut in half, while another featured grilled fish with sliced cucumber. Bella appeared to be fond of cucumber, as she included the vegetable in another meal alongside quinoa and yoghurt. Her final meal of the day was a plate of lamb-chops with some fresh green salad.

Jessica Alba's ex Cash Warren spotted on date night with model 20 years his junior amid divorce
Jessica Alba 's estranged husband Cash Warren was seen stepping out for a lowkey date night with a model 20 years his junior. Back in January, it was confirmed that the Fantastic Four actress and Cash had separated after nearly 17 years of marriage and welcoming three children. The following month, she officially filed for divorce. Jessica, 44, has recently sparked up a new romance of her own and has been linked to To Gun: Maverick actor Danny Ramirez - who is 12 years her junior. In photos obtained by Page Six, 46-year-old Cash was spotted grabbing dinner in Los Angeles on Thursday with Hana Sun Doerr, 26. The pair could be seen standing outside of a restaurant before hopping into a sleek BMW together, with Cash in the driver's seat. He kept it casual wearing a pair of gray pants as well as a white shirt underneath and a gray jacket. Hana sported a black, cropped tank top as well as a pair of blue denim jeans and a black leather jacket that was draped over her shoulders. Before Cash and Hana climbed into the vehicle, they flashed cheerful smiles on their faces during a lighthearted moment. It is not known when the pair first crossed paths, but Jessica's ex has liked some of Hana's recent Instagram posts. The media personality recently celebrated her 26th birthday last month in July and graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor's in Sociology in June. Cash's latest outing with Hana comes shortly after he expressed he was not seeing anyone while talking to TMZ last week. At the time, he was spotted at LAX airport and offered his reaction to Jessica's new budding romance - eight months after their split was announced. 'I am happy for her,' the father-of-three told the outlet, before adding, 'I don't know him yet.' He then stated that he was not back on the dating scene but jokingly quipped to TMZ, 'Let me know if you got anybody.' The media personality recently celebrated her 26th birthday last month in July and graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor's in Sociology in June Daily Mail recently learned that Jessica is ready to take the next big step in their relationship and wants to introduce her children to Danny. The Honey actress shares Honor, 17, Haven, 13, and Hayes, seven, with Cash. A source stated, 'Things have really progressed between Danny and Jessica, she's smitten. 'She even wants him to meet her children. She was hesitant at first as being single is new territory for after being married to Cash for so many years, but this just feels right.' The insider continued, 'Initially she thought she might wait a bit for an introduction but things have moved quite fast. 'Danny is making her really happy and giving her a lot of joy - so why wouldn't she want to share that with her kids. She isn't getting too wrapped up in what Cash thinks about it all.' The source further told Daily Mail, 'This isn't a revenge romance for Jessica, it's about her having fun. Jessica can't imagine Cash begrudging her finding happiness, she hopes he can find it too.' Late last month in July, Jessica was seen passionately kissing her new boyfriend while out in L.A. In photos obtained by the couple were seen embracing and sharing a kiss outside on a quiet street. Danny sweetly draped his arms over her shoulders during the romantic moment and readjusted a cap on top of her head which caused her to flash a smile. The actor was later seen receiving a large flower delivery and the pair began to walk back towards his house together. Earlier that same week, Jessica and Danny were spotted enjoying date night at an Italian restaurant called Alba. Also in July, they were spotted vacationing in Cancun - which came after she was seen kissing a mystery man in London, although it is not confirmed whether that had also been Danny. A separate source told Daily Mail that the pair's budding romance has also taken a 'surprising turn.' 'Jessica's romance with Danny has taken a surprising turn. What started out as a summer fling feels like it's getting more serious, although she still wants to take things slow.' The insider added, 'But at the end of the day Jessica has never been one to play the field. She's excited to see where this romance is headed.' Jessica's new romance comes months after she filed for divorce from Cash Warren after nearly 17 years of marriage in February Another source informed Daily Mal that the Top Gun: Maverick actor is 'enamored' with the actress, but she isn't in the 'frame of mind' to be in a relationship that is exclusive. Danny 'has a chance to make something out of their connection, but she is taking it all in stride. Right now, she's looking to just have fun.' Jessica's new romance comes months after she filed for divorce from Cash Warren after nearly 17 years of marriage in February. She had cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reasoning behind their separation, with Cash soon filing afterwards. They first crossed paths on set of the 2004 film, Fantastic Four, and they later said 'I do' in 2008. And in January, the actress took to Instagram to announce the end of her marriage to Cash with a message to her followers. 'I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years - both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,' she wrote. 'I'm proud of how we've grown in our marriage over the last 20 years and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals. Jessica added, 'We are moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time.'

Emmerdale star looks completely unrecognisable 18 months after quitting the soap - but can YOU guess who it is?
A former Emmerdale star looked completely unrecognisable as he returned to Instagram on Thursday, sharing a slew of selfies with his followers. The actor, 19, who starred in the ITV soap for 17 years, quit the show 18 months ago in a dramatic New Year's storyline that saw his character brutally killed off. Now, he looks worlds away from his soap days - having ditched his long blonde locks and hit the gym hard. In one snap, the star went shirtless for a close-up selfie, showing off a brand-new cropped hairdo. In another, he flaunted his gym transformation with a mirror selfie taken after a gruelling workout session. But do you recognise him? That's right, it's Sebastian Dowling! The actor is best known for playing Heath Hope on Emmerdale from 2007 until his emotional exit, when his character died in a car crash that aired last year. Sebastian appeared on the soap alongside his twin sister Gabrielle Dowling, 18, who continues to play Heath's twin, Cathy Hope. The new Instagram post marks the first time the former soap star has shared an update on the platform since October last year - and fans were stunned by his transformation. One follower wrote: 'Wow guy. All grown up and looking great. Still miss you on the show. Let us know what you up to now.'; While another added: 'Holy c***, mans become Hulk! Looking great bro.' 'Now this is what a 'glow up' looks like.'; 'Wow you look awesome there Seb. Nice one there mate!' Sebastian's final scenes aired on January 1 last year, when Heath was killed in a tragic car crash involving several village teens, including his sister Cathy. At first, Cathy was thought to be behind the wheel, but it was later revealed that it was actually her friend Angelica King (played by Rebecca Bakes) who had been driving. Angelica was charged with death by dangerous driving and handed an eight-month custodial sentence in a secure children's home. She also exited the soap as part of the storyline, although there's a chance she could return to the village once her sentence is served.
