'He's loved her for years': Quentin Tarantino and his muse Uma Thurman go 'from friends to lovers'

Here’s some news that won’t make a blind bit of difference to your day but will have you cocking up your ears like a spaniel in a wood.

Twenty years after first working together on Pulp Fiction, Uma Thurman and Quentin Tarantino have reportedly taken their friendship to the next level. Us Weekly reports that the long-time friends have embarked on a romance after the actress - whom the director has often referred to as his 'muse' - split with fiancé Arpad 'Arki' Busson last month. 

The couple were particularly cosy as they hit the red carpet together on several occasions last week during the Cannes International Film Festival, with reports suggesting they even shared a villa together in the South Of France. 'They had a thing and got together again recently,' an insider tells Us Weekly, adding: 'He's loved her for years.' 

The best celebrity gossip site in the world. The two-time Oscar-winner had his lady love in fits of laughter as he demonstrated his best dance moves in front of photographers. 'There has always been an attraction,' another source says. 'She has indulged from time to time, and that's how their relationship has always worked.'

The 51-year-old director has reportedly long had feelings for Uma, only now is the timing right as they both find themselves single at the same time.
