I told you it was on! Well, I had some doubts too, but I was coming down on the side of wanting there to be something there, just for the sheer hotness level. So guess who spent the holidays together? Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz! OH YES. As you may remember, Rachel split from her longtime partner Darren Aronofsky a few months ago, and the immediate rumor was that she and Daniel Craig had been boning while they worked together earlier this year. The British tabloids were all over it, and some unnamed sources “confirmed” their affair, and it was widely reported that Daniel had dumped his longtime girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell at some point over the past few months. And now there are photos of Daniel and Rachel together! Like they are announcing their coupling! The photos are here, at The Daily Mail.

They were first linked together last month after she was said to be ‘smitten’ with her Bond co-star. But despite quashing the rumours they were an item, Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig will have trouble denying their romance now after they were snapped hand-in-hand during a cosy Christmas break together.

Pictures in the News of the World today show the pair, who star together in Dream House due to be released next year, laughing and holding hands while away together in Somerset. Craig, 42, and Weisz, 40, were pictured bundled up against the cold as they went for a stroll by the £1,000 a week cottage near Yeovil.

According to sources, they left the cosy bolthole on Christmas Eve and headed to the local pub.

An onlooker said: ‘Daniel and Rachel looked like a romantic couple in a film. They were laughing and hanging on to each other’s words and stopping to take photos of each other.’

And one fellow customer in the pub added: ‘They were clinging to each other like honeymooners. The chemistry was obvious.’

The pair, who have know each other for several years, were brought together to star alongside each other in Dream House, due for release next year. Weisz plays the wife of a New York publishing executive, played by Craig, who relocates his family to a town in New England only to discover their perfect home was the murder scene of a mother and her two children.

They were then romantically linked last month after Weisz split from her fiancé director Darren Aronofsky.

A source close to The Mummy star said she was ‘head over heels’ for Craig and added: ‘Rachel and Daniel simply sparked during the filming of Dream House in Canada. They have great chemistry. Darren’s such a good and responsible man, but Daniel’s the opposite extreme, he’s brooding and mysterious. Darren and Rachel have simply grown apart, they spent long periods away from each other, moving in different directions.’

And shortly afterwards, Weisz and Aronofsky issued a joint statement that said: ‘Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky have been separated for some months. They remain close friends and are committed to raising their son together in New York.’

Craig got engaged to producer Satsuki Mitchell two years ago after he proposed with a Cartier ring and said she helps keep him grounded.

He said: ‘I couldn’t get though it without her. You’ve got to have a sense of perspective and she gives me that.’

But recent reports have suggested that they have now split up, although Craig has yet to deny or confirm this.

Homewreckers, all of them. Hot, sexy homewreckers. It’s so interesting, this little piece of news. I wouldn’t think Daniel would want any part of his private life out in the open, at all, but going to a pub and being affectionate with his jumpoff is an interesting development. Maybe he wants people to know that this is for real. Maybe it’s true love? As for Rachel… well, I’m kind of disappointed in her, even though I understand how a woman could throw away a stable relationship with the father of her child for a sex-filled romance with a brooding James Bond. Sigh…
