Tessa Thompson has been pictured kissing model Zac Stenmark on the same day she was photographed in a close encounter with Taika Waititi and Rita Ora in Sydney.
The 37-year-old actress was seen laughing and smiling with the 29-year-old Australian model as they enjoyed a stroll on Sunday, with Page Six publishing images of the pair packing on the PDA. Zac, known for modelling with his twin brother Jordan, was said to have lifted up Tessa's sunglasses before kissing her and gazing into her eyes.
Their apparent outing came straight after a boozy brunch at Taika's house, where Zac was also spotted on the balcony next to Tessa. She was wearing the same black jacket and cut-out trousers in both sets of photographs.
Tessa is currently in Australia filming Thor: Love and Thunder, in which she reprises her role as Valkyrie. The film is not due for release until next summer, but speculation has already surrounded the set after she was pictured getting cosy with director Taika and his new girlfriend Rita. Images published by the Daily Mail showed Taika with his arm on Tessa's leg, while Rita leaned in nose to nose with the actress. Neither Taika nor Rita had officially confirmed their relationship before they were pictured kissing, leading to suggestions that Rita could be set for a role in the Thor film.
The actress, who has never put a label on her sexuality, previously told Net-a-Porter: "I'm attracted to men and also to women. If I bring a woman home, [or] a man, we don't even have to have the discussion." She has been linked to musicians Dev Hynes and Janelle Monae in the past. Meanwhile, Rita and Taika have been seen on romantic strolls and attended the launch of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under together, though neither has officially confirmed their relationship.
