Us Weekly, in an exclusive, said "Walking Dead" stars Norman Reedus and Emily Kinney are an item.
UPDATE Thursday, June 18: A Reedus spokesman denied the story to TMZ and other outlets, saying they are just friends.
When Kinney performed at Eddie's Attic last month, Reedus was there.
The two actors worked for years on "The Walking Dead" until her character Beth Greene was killed off during the eighth episode of season five.
Reedus' Daryl is among the most popular characters on the show. During season four, they had an entire episode together, where they checked out an abandoned golf club and ended up at a church, where Beth's character was kidnapped. This past season, the two were reunited briefly at an Atlanta hospital but Beth was accidentally killed.
Fans of "The Walking Dead" clamored for the two to hook up but they never had a chance.
The couple are scheduled to be at the Orlando Walker Stalker convention later this month.
Season six of AMC's "The Walking Dead" is in production now in Senoia.
