The model-turned-actress and the 'Game of Thrones' hunk recently started seeing each other after being introduced by mutual friends and insiders say they have a "great connection".

A source told The Sun: "Suki and Richard recently started dating after meeting through mutual friends.

"It's early days but they've got a great connection and are looking forward to spending quality time with each other next year."

However, there could be trouble in paradise as 24-year-old Suki's close pal Cara Delevingne is reportedly furious about the romance after she had a public row with Richard, 30, last year.

Cara insisted she had "no idea" who the 'Game of Thrones' actor is but hit out at him for branding her "unprofessional" after her awkward interview on 'Good Day Sacramento' went viral.

She tweeted Richard: "I have no idea who you are but I think it's little desperate for a grown man to be bad mouthing someone they don't know.

"If you really want attention that badly, try focusing on your own work and not other people's."

Richard quickly responded: "Hi @Caradelevingne, nothing but respect for you. Misquoted and blown out of proportion. #SlowNewsWeek (sic)."

An insider said: "Obviously, it's horrendously awkward for Suki given her friendship with Cara and her history with Richard.

"Cara was furious with his comments and doesn't exactly think highly of him. There are definitely going be some awkward times ahead for the three of them."

This is Suki's first serious romance since she split from Bradley Cooper almost two years ago, while Richard has previously dated Jenna Coleman.
