Naomie befriended Orlando on the set of the Pirates films - she played the Tia Dalma, the voodoo priestess - while he was getting over his break up with longtime love Kate Bosworth. An insider told the Daily Mail, "Orlando really appreciates everything Naomie did for him when he split from Kate and thinks a great way to start a relationship is to be friends first. They know everything about each other and it's only a matter of time before true romance blossoms.

While doing promotional interviews for the latest Pirates movie, Harris said, "Orlando - I love him! He was really sweet, and I was like, 'Yeah, you're the hottest one'." Says the insider, "They've made no bones about the fact they both fancy each other."

The source further revealed, "[Orlando] admitted recently that he's interested in more than a friendship with Naomie." He is said to be particularly pleased that London-based Naomi is not into the Hollywood scene.
