(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Zoe Saldana is reportedly dating the Sexiest Man Alive.

The actress's friendship with Bradley Cooper has turned to love and they are now a couple, it's being claimed.

The Hollywood pair recently worked together on upcoming movie The Words, and their on-screen chemistry is said to have spilled over off-screen.

E! News reports that Bradley and Zoe have begun telling their friends and family that they are an item because they are comfortable now in their relationship.

A rep for Zoe denied a month ago that the Avatar star was being romantic with Bradley after they appeared cosy together at a Manhattan nightclub.

But a source has told the entertainment site that the twosome have been telling friends that they planned to go skiing in the Rockies together over the holidays.

"They are totally dating," the insider claimed.

Zoe recently broke up with her boyfriend Keith Britton after nearly 11 years together and called off their engagement. (C) Cover Media
