They've never so much as uttered a word to confirm or deny the status of their relationship publicly.

But perhaps it was simply a happy coincidence that Michael Fassbender and his rumoured girlfriend Alicia Vikander happened to be in the same place at the same time on Saturday.

The notoriously private Irishman, 39, and his The Light Between Oceans co-star, 27, were spotted leaving Darling Harbour's Kingpin Bowling in Sydney after playing a few games.

The X-Men star, who's Down Under filming Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant, dressed casually for the outing in black jeans and a navy varsity jacket.  

He accessorised with a red trucker cap, and opted for a pair of brown oxford shoes. 

Trailing behind him slightly, Alicia dressed in black, three-quarter-length dungarees, under which she wore a white lace top.

She rugged up with a long grey overcoat, and managed to keep her white sneakers crystal clean despite the torrential downpour. 

Though there was no physical expression of their rumoured affections for each other during the outing, they were seen climbing into a black sedan, with Michael politely opening the door for her.

The pair hinted at a romance between them in February when they kissed at the Oscars after she'd been awarded Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Danish Girl.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Michael simply said: 'Nice talking to you,' and moved onto the next journalist along the red carpet. 

His current project, Alien, is a sequel to 2012's Prometheus and will eventually become a trilogy, with Michael reprising his Prometheus role as the android David 8.

The series is actually a prequel to 1979 fantasy thriller Alien, which starred Sigourney Weaver and Tom Skerritt.
