It’s been rumored for weeks that former WWE diva Stacy Keibler has been romantically linked to Hollywood megastar George Clooney – and the duo made their first public appearances together this past weekend in Toronto, Onario, Canada.

According to Yahoo! News and Us Weekly magazine, Keibler and Clooney attended Fox Searchlight and Vanity Fair’s Toronto Film Festival party and then later the Grey Goose Soho House party.

According to a source at US Weekly, Stacy Keibler looked very comfortable alongside Clooney and handled herself well in the spotlight.

“One of the reoccurring themes of the night was that Stacy had her own conversations going on and that she wasn’t following Clooney around like a puppy dog,” a source told Us Weekly.

“They were comfortable and affectionate and seemed socially poised as a couple,” a witness tells Us. “The two clearly work not only as a pair, but also independently. [Stacy] really stood on her own. George was not overprotective and didn’t have to look after her.”

“She was confident in her own space,” adds the witness. “She would come over to [George] and rub his back, then separate from him again… I’ve never seen him more comfortable.”
