According to reports, fans of Jennifer Garner's Alias might get a real life version of the romance they've been seeking for the last two years. Garner, who recently split from husband Scott Foley, has been spotted in several social settings with Alias co-star Michael Vartan. Vartan plays Garner's CIA handling agent in the TV series and there's been sparks between them, but as of yet no real flames.

Eyewitnesses claim that Vartan wrapped his arms around Garner's exposed midriff at an Alias wrap party. While other witnesses claim that the pair were acting like an item during Garner's stop at Lark Sound Studios, where Garner finished up some voice-over work.
