After much speculation, the 48-year-old actor and co-host of Top Gear, Matt LeBlanc, went public about his relationship with assistant producer, Aurora Mulligan.
The couple was seen on Saturday at a horse race event in West Sussex, South England. Rumor has it that the two could not keep their hands off of each other.
Someone at the event told The Sun, “Matt and Aurora were inseparable throughout the whole day. They were very tactile and Matt seemed to be very taken by Aurora as he laughed and chatted intimately with her. Aurora just kept laughing at all his jokes and is clearly besotted with the American superstar. You wouldn’t have known that they were work colleagues at all – it’s definitely more than just a professional relationship.”
After they were linked earlier this year, a spokesperson said it was strictly a working relationship. However, a source that works on the show has since confirmed that their relationship has gotten more serious.
“This has become a romance. Matt spends more time with Aurora than anyone else in the crew and there’s definitely a blossoming relationship there,” the insider revealed.
This revelation comes along after reports that LeBlanc threatened to quit the show because due to Chris Evan’s behavior both on- and off-set. Although such claims have been denied by a spokesperson for LeBlanc, a source told The Sun, “The big question now is who goes and who stays.”
