Henry Cavill, Kaley Cuoco reportedly dating, having ‘great time’

“Man of Steel” star Henry Cavill and “Big Bang Theory” actress Kaley Cuoco are dating, according to reports out Monday.

“They are totally hot for each other,” a friend of the two told Us Weekly, which first reported the news.

A People connection put it a little more demurely: “They were both single and started dating recently,” said the source, who’s reportedly connected to both parties. “It’s just the beginning stages of a relationship, and they’re having a great time.”

That great time hasn’t included going out publicly, however, the mag said.

Cavill, who is British, had been seeing retired MMA fighter Gina Carano for about 10 months, but that reportedly fell apart in May. Cuoco broke up with musician Bret Bollinger this year.

Cavill is 30, while Cuoco is 27 — no James Woods scenario here, thankfully.

Incidentally, one early hint that girlfriend might be crushing on the new guy? A picture Cuoco tweeted on June 14 showing her looking up at Cavill in a “Man of Steel” movie poster with the caption, “Everyone go see ‘man of steel’. It’s fantastic in every single way.”

Sounds like there’s no “single” about it, Kaley.
