Evan Rachel Wood and Jamie Bell spark marriage rumours

Evan Rachel Wood and Jamie Bell have sparked speculation they are about to become husband and wife after reportedly obtaining a marriage licence.

The screen stars were spotted at the Los Angeles County Recorders Office on Tuesday and E! News reports the couple took out a licence to allow them to wed.

Wood and Billy Elliot star Bell, who have not commented on the report, dated for a year before splitting in the mid-2000s, but they rekindled their romance last summer.

Earlier this year, the couple prompted speculation they had married in secret when they were spotted with wedding bands on their fingers.
