Michael Fassbender is dating British Olympian Louise Hazel.

The X-Men: First Class actor - who split from Shame co-star Nicole Beharie in January - is thought to be getting cosy with the heptathlete and has introduced his new girlfriend to Hollywood pal Bradley Cooper. The couple reportedly dined with The Hangover Part III star while he was in London to promote the movie last Friday, enjoying a meal at the Wolseley cafe in Piccadilly, before unwinding with drinks at the Bulgari Hotel in Kensington.

"They are dating. Michael has been talking to her while also filming X-Men: Days of Future Past in Montreal. He comes back to London to see her," a source said.

Louise, 26, represented Team GB in the London 2012 Olympics and previously earned a gold medal in the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
