"Slumdog" Lovers Make First Public Appearance (PHOTOS)

They've been a rumored couple for the better part of a year, but Sunday was the first public appearance for "Slumdog Millionaire" couple, Dev Patel, 19, and Freida Pinto, 24.

Pinto split with her longtime boyfriend shortly before the Oscars, and he cited her costar as a reason. Just weeks ago the couple ran away from each other and photographers when they were spotted together in New York.

But Sunday night in London the couple smiled arm-in-arm for photographers at a special screening of the film that made them famous.

These kinda relationships never last. The moment this movie they were in starts fading from peoples memory this will end. I know people are going to be mad at me for saying this but Dev is a dork! She is a lot prettier than he is handsome. She's a 9 and at best Dev is a 6. And thats with the cloths, money and fame!

They look sweet! And happy!

Stop the snark, and let them be happy, people!

I wish them luck. At the same time, it is kind of eyebrow raising to dump your fiance as soon as you become famous.

[LetMeUnderstandThis]

She's Hollyweird now, besides her handlers told her to do so.

[terramartom]

Good for them.
Karma.

[TigersEye]

If they're happy more power to them.

She has some very bad taste in men. No offense to Dev, but he's a gawky child. Her ex is heinous.

As hard as it is to believe for some... there are actually some people in this world who don't base everything on looks. Those guys both could be awesome people. If looks are all that matter to you, I feel sorry for you.

[thefooligan5]

Your post was well-intentioned but a back-handed insult none the less. I think Dev is pretty good looking. He seems like a fun guy to boot.

[synergie]

I don't know them as people. They are two dimensional faces that are there to entertain me. No more, no less. If they are going to pursue a career based on portraying themselves as whatever, I get to criticize :-p

Clearly pre-judging on the basis of the most cursory of impressions is a characteristic that you and I share. I'll hope you have some pity so spare of people who actually need it and that you don't waste it all on people who may superficial impressions on silly tabloid photos :-p

Just a reminder to blame Danny Boyle when they break up.

[stepintothelight]

Glad she didn't do the usual thing and go for a Hollyweird ... type!!!

[LetMeUnderstandThis]

Give it 2yrs at most she will indoctrinated by many men and a couple of woman.

Lucky B@stard.

"Meghan Fox can't touch Freida Pinto."

Hahahahahaha, good joke!

[thebirdstheword]

kinda funny that people give the snarky actor-actress relationship comments a break every time these two make the entertainment page. and it seems that every time these two are seen in public, it is somehow news.

[AgentMacGyver]

Yeah. Their careers are over, but they realize they have a better chance of staying relevant if they're seen together. Good luck.

[WreckinShop]

Dev Patel kind of reminds me of Michael Cera. They just give off that cool dork vibe that makes you root for them.

She's pretty, he's cute. Hope their happy & make it.

Have yet to see movie to see onscreen chem, but based on movie hoopla seems chem was there.

If she cheated on BF with him -chances are it won't last. Hope it does if that's what makes them happy.

[Joyana]

The chemistry between them radiates in the movie. No surprise here. All the best to them!

They have a chance if they are away from Hollywood. In and around Hollywood the wandering eye usually ends things within 2years.
