Dev Patel and Freida Pinto at the 2008 Screen Actors Guild AwardsAs if Dev Patel hadn’t had enough luck this year, he’s only gone and nabbed Freida Pinto into the bargain. The relationship between the 19 year-old Brit and the stunning 24 year-old actress has been something of an open secret for a while, but the couple have finally confirmed it to the press:

The pair have been photographed cuddling up in Israel and ring shopping in London since the Oscar-winning film was released. The 24-year-old has now called 19-year-old Patel “a lovely boy”, according to The Sun. She added: “The friendship blossomed after the film, it got even stronger. This is all new to us.”

Pinto’s ex, Rohan Antao, blamed Patel for their relationship breakdown. “I don’t know if they were having a sexual relationship but if I came face to face with him I would have things to say. Now everywhere I go I see them on billboards. I am devastated,” he said.

Ring shopping! Cuddling! A love-rival barney! This riveting story was brought to you by Slow News Day, Inc. But hey, any excuse for a picture of Ms. Pinto, right?

    Just in time for the dvd release. Well planned, since it wasn’t actually news this late now, was it?

    Weird that she’d go for him. She’s five years older and more than five times better looking.
