James Franco and Ashley Benson

As late as August this year (2012) Ashley Benson was still dating Justin Bieber’s ‘swagger coach’ Ryan Good – but now rumours are running rife that she is dating James Franco!
James and Ashley recently worked together on Spring Breakers – the gritty drama that saw Ashley and her cast mates Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens break from their ‘Disney’ images.

The pair first sparked rumours of a budding relationship after they were spotted on a romantic walk through Washington Square Park in New York City earlier this month (October).
The speculation was then fuelled last week after they were spotted holding hands while enjoying the spooky Halloween attraction Haunted Hayride in Los Angeles.

A source has told New York Post gossip column Page Six, "They have been seeing each other for a little over a month, but things are going well."
Well! They kept that one quiet! Are you as excited about this new couple as we are?
