Sam Heughan Girlfriend 2017: 'Outlander' Season 3 Actor Misses Caitriona Balfe, Co-Stars To Finally Admit Relationship Status?
Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe have been a subject of dating rumors for quite awhile now. After fans realized their undeniable chemistry on-screen, they have been aggressively shipping the "Outlander" season 3 co-stars to continue their connection off-screen as well. Now, the actor is giving their fans more reasons to ship them even more.
Fans of Sam Heughan (James "Jamie" Mackenzie Fraser) and Caitriona Balfe (Claire Beauchamp Randall/Fraser) are definitely excited to see more scenes of the co-stars together in "Outlander" season 3. The last installment had fans brokenhearted as the two characters were separated and it appears that the shippers were not the only one who missed Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe on-screen together.
"It's always hard when we're apart, actually, because she's a great person, great to come to work with, and a very good actress," the "Outlander" Season 3 actor shared to Vanity Fair. "But I think it all adds to the reunion-if there's a reunion, or when there's a reunion-well you know there's one in the books. It should be very special."
Although fans' gesture of shipping the "Outlander" Season 3 co-stars was initially sweet and harmless, it did get to the point of cyber-bullying. The unfortunate victim of these mean comments and accusations was the "First Light" actor's rumored real-life girlfriend Mackenzie Mauzy. Fans were clearly unhappy when the "Into The Woods" actress posted a photo of her and Sam Heughan together, which led fans to attack the 28-year-old actress online.
Fed up with the nonsense, Sam Heughan broke his silence and took to Twitter to address the mean comments that were thrown at Mackenzie Mauzy. The 36-year-old "Outlander" Season 3 actor blasted all those who have been bullying the "Into The Woods" actress and told them to end their rants once and for all. Despite all the romance rumors, Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe have said multiple times that they are just friends.
