Is Hollywood’s next power couple quietly forming before our eyes? Michael B. Jordan and Taylor Russell were spotted taking a casual stroll together in London on March 9, fueling rumors that their connection might extend beyond the big screen.
A fan account, @tayrussellnew, shared footage of the two walking side by side along Oxford Street, looking effortlessly cool in relaxed outfits. While the sighting has set social media buzzing, reps for both stars have remained silent on the speculation.
The buzz surrounding Jordan, 38, and Russell, 30, comes at an interesting time—the duo is set to star together in the highly anticipated remake of The Thomas Crown Affair for Amazon MGM Studios.
Not only is Jordan starring in the film, but he’s also stepping into the director’s chair for his second major project following Creed III.
Could their professional collaboration have turned into something more? Fans are already dissecting every detail, wondering whether this is the start of a sizzling new Hollywood romance.
Jordan has previously been linked to some of the biggest names in the industry, including Kendall Jenner and Lori Harvey. He and Harvey made headlines when they went Instagram official in 2021, but their romance came to an end in June 2022. Reflecting on the breakup, Jordan later admitted that he threw himself into work, calling it “an experience to grow and learn.”
Russell, meanwhile, was most recently linked to pop sensation Harry Styles. The two sparked dating rumors in June 2023 and remained an item until their reported split in May 2024.
With both stars now seemingly single, fans can’t help but wonder—is this just a friendship, a co-star bond, or the beginning of something bigger?
Beyond the romance rumors, The Thomas Crown Affair remake is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about projects in Hollywood. Jordan is producing the film under his Outlier Society banner, alongside big industry names like Elizabeth Raposo, Marc Toberoff, and Patrick McCormick.
With a script penned by Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3, The Fall Guy), this remake will mark the third adaptation of the classic story, following the 1968 original starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, and the 1999 version starring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo.
Whether Jordan and Russell’s chemistry is strictly for the cameras or something more personal, one thing is certain—Hollywood will be watching closely!
