Sam Claflin Sparks Romance Rumors with Israeli Star Dor Zuzovsky
Zuzovsky, who's dated high-profile Israelis like actor Lior Raz in the past, seems smitten, and who can blame her? Claflin's got that classic Brit charm, and with Vanished poised to be a binge-worthy hit, this romance might just be the cherry on top of a blockbuster year.
!In a plot twist straight out of a rom-com, British heartthrob Sam Claflin, yes, the dreamy leading man from Me Before You, has been spotted with Israeli actress and model Dor Zuzovsky, sending fans into a frenzy as 2025 wraps up with some serious star power.
The unexpected pairing, first scooped by Israeli entertainment guru Eran Swissa on ForReal, has everyone buzzing: "This wasn't on my bingo card!"
Claflin, 39, who's charmed audiences as the brooding Will Traynor in Me Before You (2016), Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games franchise, and a swashbuckling pirate in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, is no stranger to on-screen romance. But off-screen? The actor, fresh from a split with model Cassie Amato in October 2024, seems to have found a new leading lady in Zuzovsky, 33. The Israeli beauty, known for her roles in hit series like Fauda and her striking modeling gigs, brings that effortless Mediterranean glamour to the mix.
The sparks reportedly flew on the set of their upcoming mystery thriller Vanished, a four-part series dropping on Prime Video in February 2026. Filmed amid the romantic streets of Marseille and Paris, the show follows a couple's dreamy getaway that turns nightmarish when Claflin's character vanishes.
She joins a stellar cast including Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory), Karin Viard, and Matthias Schweighöfer, but it's the off-camera chemistry that's stealing the show. Paparazzi caught the duo on December 30, 2025, wandering Tel Aviv's vibrant boulevards, sharing laughs and ice cream like any adorable couple on a casual date.
No official confirmation from their camps yet, Claflin, a dad of two from his previous marriage to actress Laura Haddock (2013-2019), keeps his personal life low-key, but the sighting has ignited social media.
