"12 Years A Slave" star Benedict Cumberbatch has recently become the hottest new actor everyone is obsessed with. However, hearts are breaking everywhere with recent reports of the actor having a new secret girlfriend.

According to IBTimes, his new flame is rumored to be "50 Shades Of Gray's" Anastacia Steele, Dakota Johnson.

The "The Hobbit" actor has had his fair share of lady loves in the past. He had been in an on-again off-again relationship for 12 years with fellow actress and screenwriter, Olivia Poulet. They called it quits for good in 2011.

The hot British star has also been seen on alleged dates with many actresses. He was seen with actress Liv Tyler but denied being more than friends with her.

He was reportedly seen holding hands with actress Charlotte Asprey during his birthday, just days after kissing Russian model and former ballerina Katia Elizarova in Ibiza, Spain in 2013. Cumberbatch's reps said the two were "just friends."

Benedict Cumberbatch's girlfriend list, both confirmed and rumored, includes Patty Hearst's daughter, Lydia, furniture designer Anna Jones, and award-winning English actress Lara Pulver among others.
