Eleanor Tomlinson ‘has fallen for her rugby player beau Will Owen’

Eleanor Tomlinson has reportedly cemented her blossoming romance with rugby player Will Owen by spending the coronavirus lockdown with him in Coventry.

Sources have claimed the Poldark star, 27, is ‘absolutely smitten’ with her beau, 26, after taking her time before entering a new relationship following her split from co-star Harry Richardson in 2018.

Eleanor first hinted she had a new man in her life when she shared a loved-up social media snap with Will in February.

A source told The Sun: ‘The pair have been seeing each other for quite a few months and are absolutely ­smitten.

‘She gets on really well with his family and they decided to be together with them during quarantine.

‘It’s been a while since her last boyfriend. She took her time, didn’t rush into anything and she really thinks things can go far with Will who is a proper man’s man.’

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Eleanor Tomlinson for comment.

On Valentine’s Day Eleanor shared a glimpse of her new romance by posting a loved-up selfie with her beau Will. 

Earlier this week the star also revealed she’d been spending lots of time with Will’s family as they isolated together during the lockdown.

She told the Overrated podcast: ‘We’re just having a real laugh. Just sitting out in the garden doing a lot of drinking.’

Eleanor previously appeared on the West Country drama Poldark as the flame-haired beauty Demelza, alongside Aidan Turner as the titular Captain.

She dated Aidan’s stunt double Ben Atkinson, 25, until June 2017, before embarking on a romance with Australian actor Harry ­Richardson, 27, who played Drake Carne in the series.

Will plays for his local team Coventry Rugby, but also played for Leicester Tigers, Doncaster Knights and Nottingham Rugby Club.
