Bachelor no more—it looks like Chris Pine has found love.
According to Us Weekly’s exclusive, the 37-year-old Star Trek star is in a relationship with British actress Annabelle Wallis.
Romance rumors bubbled up last week after the pair was photographed together at London’s Heathrow Airport—and now it’s official. “Chris and Annabelle are dating!” a source revealed to the publication.
However, it’s a bit of a sticky situation; apparently the 33-year-old The Mummy actress was actually in a relationship when Pine made a play for her affection.
“She was seeing someone else when they met,” the insider explained to Us. “They kept it casual for the beginning. Chris was very attentive and wooed her to get her attention away from the other guy.”
The source close to the actor added that Princess Diaries 2 heartthrob was pretty smitten with the blonde Brit from the get-go.”Annabelle is totally Chris’ type,” the pal added. The source also revealed that the new couple has already vacationed together in Hawaii.
Though the identity of Wallis’ pre-Pine fling is a mystery, we do know that the actress has dated high-profile celebrities in the past. She was coupled up with Coldplay’s Chris Martin from 2014 to 2016 (before he and Dakota Johnson got together).
Of Pine’s romantic history, the Wonder Woman actor has been super tight-lipped about his relationship status in the past, shutting down the topic to The Hollywood Reporter in a 2014 profile, saying,“That’s something that I don’t really want to talk about.”
However, the Star Trek actor confirmed to Ellen DeGeneres in November 2014 that he is single.
Wallis opened up about keeping her love life out of the spotlight in a June 2017 interview with the Sydney Morning Herald. “It becomes hard when you know about someone’s personal life. It’s just distracting. It’s a whole other job in itself if you go down that road,” the blonde beauty explained. “I love the person I love, but it means so much to me that I like to keep it safe. I have nothing to hide. It’s just that when you have people in your life that you care about, you get very protective of them and it’s not about you anymore. It’s about other people and the ones you love are the ones you protect like a lioness.”
Pine previously dated beauty queen Íris Björk Jóhannesdóttir in 2014 and was briefly linked to model Dominique Piek in 2013. Meanwhile, Wallis dated Chris Martin from 2014 to 2016.

She portrayed Jane Seymour in the Showtime period drama The Tudors from 2009-2010. She also starred alongside Tom Cruise in the 2017 remake of The Mummy, in which she played Jenny Halsey, an archeologist who secretly works for a monster-hunting organization.
3. She prefers to keep her private life private.
She explained why she likes to keep her love life to herself in a June 2017 interview with the Sydney Morning Herald. “It becomes hard when you know about someone’s personal life. It’s just distracting. It’s a whole other job in itself if you go down that road,” she said. “I love the person I love, but it means so much to me that I like to keep it safe. I have nothing to hide.

4. She previously dated Chris Martin.
Annabelle was first romantically linked with the Coldplay frontman in 2015, but their romance intensified in 2017 when Chris finalized his divorce from Gwyneth Paltrow. They reportedly split up in June 2017.
5. She can speak four different languages.
Annabelle knows English, Portuguese, and some French and Spanish. Although she was born in Oxford, England, she spent 19 years of her life living in Portugal, and feels comfortable writing in the country’s native tongue. “I think in English, but I write a lot in Portuguese. It’s a far more descriptive language. You can describe something in one word where, in English, you’d need a sentence and a half,” she told InStyle UK in 2016.
