Dev Patel has a new girlfriend and the internet is very upset about it

Dev Patel reportedly has a new girlfriend and the internet can't deal with this news, at all.

As you'll see from the below tweets, people are devastated by the rumours that the Lion actor is apparently dating his Hotel Mumbai co-star, Tilda Cobham-Mervey. The pair were photographed in Los Angeles yesterday and the main thing causing everyone to freak out is the fact they're holding hands.

Good evening to everyone except Dev Patel's new girlfriend. RT if you agree that I'd look cuter holding hands with Dev. pic.twitter.com/KQp1mej4WH

It has to be noted, (Dev's many fans and wannabe girlfriends may find this controversial), they're absolutely adorable together. Have a look at these reactions and you'll see just how popular Dev, who rose to fame after his role in Slumdog Millionaire, is. Some of these reactions are gas!
