Sam Heughan, Caitriona Balfe Dating: ‘Outlander’ Stars A Real-Life Couple? MacKenzie Mauzy Romance For Publicity?

"Outlander" Season 3 is in the middle of production, but that does not stop Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe from enjoying their lives behind the cameras. The actors from the Starz time traveler series are once again sparking dating rumors after attending a rugby match in South Africa. What is the real deal between them?

Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan have been plagued by dating rumors since they starred on "Outlander" together as Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser, respectively. While the rumored couple has denied having any romantic relationship behind the scenes, many fans remain convinced that there is something special going on.

"Outlander" Season 3 stars Heughan and Balfe are once again sparking dating rumors after the 36-year-old actor shared a photo of him and Balfe attending a rugby match in South Africa on his Twitter account. In the said photo, Balfe can be seen leaning towards Heughan, whose right hand is placed at the actress' shoulder.

This was taken by many as a sign that there is much more than a professional relationship between the two "Outlander" Season 3 stars. As Celeb Dirty Laundry notes, there is even a possibility that Heughan's relationship with MacKenzie Mauzy may be simply a form of publicity and a way for the couple to hide their relationship from the public.

Several fans expressed the same sentiments on the comments section. The publication notes that the stars are currently filming "Outlander" Season 3 in South Africa and Heughan has not been seen with his girlfriend since they attended the Oscars in February.

Heughan is also rarely seen in Los Angeles or New York City, which is where Mauzy usually stays. Balfe, on the other hand, has been single for some time, but there are also reports that the "Outlander" Season 3 actress is secretly dating Tony McGill.
