Sam Claflin CONFIRMS relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio’s ex Cassie Amato

Sam Claflin has confirmed his relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio’s ex Cassie Amato.

The pair were spotted holding hands on a romantic stroll in London on Tuesday – after months of flirty comments on each other’s Instagram posts.

The Peaky Blinders actor, 36, and American beauty, 28, looked happy and relaxed on their first public outing together.

Cassie showed off her effortless sense of style in black jeans, a white shirt and comfortable trainers, and had a tote bag over her shoulder.

She paired it with chic shades and wore her honey colored locks in loose waves over her shoulders while opting for natural makeup.

Meanwhile, Sam cut a casual figure in a navy blue T-shirt and jacket that he paired with comfy trainers while taking his adorable doggy for a walk.

Sam recently took to Instagram to gush about model Cassie’s latest bikini photoshoot, sparking further speculation that the duo were dating.

The hunk wrote about the sultry images: ‘You are so freakin’ beautiful’.

She returned the favor she commented on a photo of Sam munching on a pizza and said she wished she was the cheesy piece.

The actor, who played Oswald Mosley in the BBC series, was impressed by another of the brunette beauty’s series of bikini shots, commenting: ‘You’re perfect’.

Cassie then captioned a photo of Sam posing by his car, writing: ‘Freakin loves this face so much’.

The Hunger Games actor shares son Pip (6) and four-year-old daughter Margo with Guardian’s Of The Galaxy star Laura Haddock, whom he divorced in 2019 after six years of marriage.

The actor called Cassie “Such a beauty” and “My Only Sunshine” as she continued to form a storm in scantily clad Instagram snaps.

In another post, Sam cooked pies for his kids and wrote, “First Kiddy cake bake,” as his alleged girlfriend noted, “Best daddy ever.”

Following his divorce, Sam reportedly sent messages to singer Una Healy after the couple “matched on a celebrity dating app.”

Sam and The Saturdays star, 38, had “a lot in common” and planned to meet in person when their busy schedules “aligned.”

Una divorced husband Ben Foden, 35, with whom she had Aoife, eight, and Tadhg, five, in 2018 after four years of marriage when he confessed to cheating.

A source told The sun on Sunday at the time: ‘Una and Sam have a lot in common. They’ve emailed quite a bit and hope to meet up for a date when they can coordinate their schedules.”

Announcing the split, Sam wrote on Instagram: “Laura and I have decided to legally separate. We will move forward with nothing but love, friendship and a deep respect for each other as we continue to raise our family together.”

“We will not comment further on this. Thank you in advance for your support and respecting our privacy at this time.

‘We both x. (sic)’

Meanwhile, model Cassie was dating basketball star Chandler Parsons after he was rumored to have dated Hailey Baldwin and Bella Thorne.

The couple went Instagram officially back in 2018 as they cuddled up for a sweet portrait on valentines day before going their separate ways.

Cassie is said to have dated Leonardo for a short time in 2015.

MailOnline has reached out to representatives of both Cassie and Sam for comment.
