Emma Watson and Chord Overstreet pictured in public together for the first time

Rumours of their romance have been circulating for a while, but Emma Watson and Chord Overstreet seem to have confirmed their relationship. The pair were photographed happily holding hands while out for a stroll in Los Angeles.

In the pictures, 27-year-old Watson - casually dressed in a striped top, jeans and ankle boots - can be seen smiling up at the 29-year-old actor-musician, who found fame after starring as Sam Evans in TV series Glee.

While neither has publicly commented on the relationship, the hand-holding makes it a little harder to deny - although, of course, they could just be very close friends.

Romance speculation started in February when the pair were spotted attending a gig together in LA.

The rumours escalated last week, when they were both spotted leaving the Oscars after-party at the same time, with a group of friends.

Watson has been notoriously private about her relationships in the past, so we're not expecting any official confirmation any time soon.

For now, here's Overstreet taking on Dirty Dancing with co-star Dianna Agron in Glee:
