Michael Fassbender has reportedly moved in with Alicia Vikander

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Michael and Alicia have moved in together officially after she had to spend so much time in the UK filming the new ‘Tomb Raider’ movie.

“He’d never properly lived with a girlfriend before but they are seriously loved up. They have a lot of places they call home but this is the only place that is officially both of theirs and they are thrilled.”

The news comes after the 40-year-old ‘Assassin’s Creed’ actor previously described relationships as a “risk”, and likened them to doing the dangerous “leap of faith” seen in the action movie.

Asked if he is comfortable with risk, he said: "Of course. In ['Assassin's Creed'] there is a scene where my character takes a so-called 'leap of faith' and jumps down 38m.

"And I have done that [metaphorically] in many respects. Going into certain relationships or jumping from a cliff into water is a leap of faith. Or in work when we are going for something that seems daunting.”

Meanwhile, Alicia - who met Michael whilst filming for the 2016 movie ‘The Light Between Oceans’ - said her relationship with the Hollywood hunk is “easy”.

She said: "I think we've made a clear statement that we keep certain things just between us. It was very easy to unite, but that's quite personal.”

The Derek Cianfrance directed title chronicles a couple falling for each other, but Michael insisted it wasn't the romance romantic setting of the movie that brought them together.

In an interview last year, Michael added: "It wasn't the first time in a movie either of us had played somebody who is falling in love. There is an element of separation there. If I'm playing a murderer, I don't go out and start murdering people."
