The couple reportedly met when Shailene was filming Adrift in Fiji – where Ben has family as his mother and father are both from the island country – early last year.

It seems Ben is the first guy to make an impression on the actress as, although she’s previously been romantically linked to Theo James and musician Nahko Bear, she’s always maintained that having a boyfriend is not something she’s interested in.

And The Fault in Our Stars actress has a strict criteria when it comes to what she looks for in a relationship.

She said recently: ‘When you’re truly in love, for me, you’re my lighthouse! You’re somebody who holds me high, keeps me safe, you’ve got my f***ing back.

‘You also love me whole, wild and free. You let me do me and I’m gonna let you do you. And I’ll be the home that you return to.’

After photos were published of Shailene and Ben kissing in October, his heartbroken ex-girlfriend took to social media to express her anguish.

While most fans congratulated the happy couple on their new pairing, Ben’s former flame Jacqueline Wieser is believed to have taken news of the blossoming romance a little differently.

Taking to Instagram Stories, the dark-haired beauty wrote: ‘Torn, heartbroken and humiliated.’
