Is Liv Tyler dating Benedict Cumberbatch?

New couple alert? The Pair sparked romance rumours after date night to the cinema in Los Angeles

Liv Tyler has sparked rumours she's dating British actor Benedict Cumberbatch after the two were spotted enjoying a date at a theatre in Los Angeles.

The pair went all coy as they were papped leaving the cinema on Tuesday night, with the Lord of the Rings actress discreetly keeping some distance between herself and the Sherlock star.

Their outing comes two nights after the couple were spied getting close at the same post-Emmy party at the Sunset Towers hotel in West Hollywood on Sunday.

The 35-year-old actress has been largely single since splitting from the father of her son, Milo, British rocker Royston Langdon, in 2008 after five years of marriage.

Benedict split from his university sweetheart and girlfriend of ten years, Olivia Poulet, in 2011 before briefly going on to date designer Anna Jones. Earlier this month he was linked to Russian model Katia Elizarova.
