Rachael Leigh Cook and Brandon Routh are causing quite the buzz after being spotted holding hands in Los Angeles, leading many to wonder if a new romance is blooming! The pair, both 45, were casually enjoying a movie outing, and it seems the fresh dating rumors have got everyone talking. After all, who wouldn’t want to pair up alumni from the Hallmark movie universe? It’s like a match made in cable TV heaven.
This isn’t the first time they’ve been seen together. The duo was first photographed together back in February at HomeGrown restaurant in Des Moines. Their chemistry must have sizzled in the air along with the farm-style brunch! Given their extensive Hallmark film co-stars roster—Cook recently teaming up with Freddie Prinze Jr for The Christmas Affair and Routh with his own holiday flicks—this unfolding romance could potentially be the plot twist we didn’t know we needed!
However, both actors are navigating through their own relationship changes—Cook’s split from husband Daniel Gillies and Routh’s divorce from Courtney Ford after 17 years of marriage. They’ve both got some experience in the romance department, but here’s the million-dollar question: can this budding relationship stand the test of time? Or will it simply be another charming Hallmark movie moment that makes us sigh, reminisce, and swipe right?
Speaking of swiping, it’s difficult not to wonder what modern dating looks like when Hallmark stars get together. So, what do you think—could you see Brandon and Rachael becoming this season’s most talked-about couple? What romantic comedies do you think should get a real-life sequel?
