Bobby and Maura were first romantically linked after they were first spotted on a date in London in May.
The couple were then seen enjoying several passionate kisses while on holiday together in Ibiza in June.
They have been regularly posting flirty comments to each other on their respective Instagrams as well.
Bobby is a successful stuntman, performing in several movies and regularly playing Chris Hemsworth’s stunt double for a decade.
Speaking to Hit Mid North Coast’s Krysti and Bodge in 2020 Bobby revealed what the Thor star is really like.
The UK-based athlete told the Australian radio hosts that he has ‘a great relationship’ and ‘understanding’ with Chris.

Bobby went on to reveal how Chris does most of the stunts, unless a dangerous move could see the actor risk an injury, leading to a delay in production.
He explained: ‘Chris will say, “Bob, you jump in and do this”, because if Chris was to pick up an injury by doing it, it’s not that he can’t do it, it’s if he picked up an injury by doing it, then it would mean the production would have to stop.
‘That obviously costs a lot of money so it’s a knock-on effect.’
According to his website, Bobby has performed as a stunt double in 50 full feature films, including opposite Christian Bale, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Robert Downey Jr, Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, Charlize Theron and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Back in 2018, he told Daily Mail Australia just how far he pushed himself while filming several Hollywood blockbusters.
‘During [films] Green Lantern and Thor Ragnorak, I ruptured my [spinal] L4, L5, S1 discs which caused drop foot on both sides [an inability to lift the front part of the foot],’ Bobby explained.
Bobby began his career as a gymnast and competed as a National Squad Member and National Gold Medalist.
Maura has previously dated Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice, as well as her Love Island co-stars Christopher Taylor and Curtis Pritchard.
