| Morena Baccarin and Benjamin McKenzie stepped out together on Sept. 20 |
Well, Batman, it looks like we've got a love connection. Gotham co-stars Morena Baccarin, 36, and Benjamin McKenzie,
37, arrived arm in arm at the Fox Emmy Awards afterparty on Sunday
night. She looked ready for a date night in a low-cut red Reem Acra gown
that was see-through in the bodice.
He was smokin' in a Salvatore
Ferragamo tux.
People magazine and E! News
are among the news outlets to have confirmed with sources that there is
romance brewing for the pair, but really you need to look no further
than this photo. Yep, they're totally hot for each other.
Fans of their Fox series have witnessed their chemistry since nearly a
year ago. Baccarin, who played Brody's long-suffering wife, Jessica, on
Homeland, joined the cast of the Gotham last October. She's Leslie Thompkins to his James Gordon, and they dig each other on the show too. Just look:
Baccarin and McKenzie actually go back further than that. When he was charming us on The O.C., she made a guest appearance on the show. It wasn't memorable though — well, for him anyway. McKenzie claimed not to remember.
In the past, McKenzie has been tight-lipped about his romances (his motto? "Less said about the bedroom, the better"),
but this one comes at a good time for Baccarin. The Brazilian-born
actress has been going through a bitter divorce with writer/director
Austin Chick. Last month, TMZ
reported that Chick, whom Baccarin was married to for three years, was
making a bid for physical custody of their nearly 2-year-old child and
was seeking spousal support from her $1.5 million a year earnings.
But a nasty custody battle
seemed to be the furthest thing from her mind last night with McKenzie —
and that's a good thing. She could use a little fun and she appears to
be having it.
