Rebecca: It’s complicated

Rebecca Breeds has revealed when she met her Romeo Luke Mitchell, it was love at first sight – but because the pair work together, they took things slowly.

The Home and Away beauty, who plays Ruby Buckton, confessed she was instantly smitten with 25-year-old hunk Luke, who plays Romeo Smith, but she made him wait six months before they started dating to be sure it would work at work.

Rebecca revealed in a web chat with fans on the Home and Away website: “We’d liked each other since the moment we met but waited a good six months to date so we could really build a friendship and be sure, because work makes everything a little complicated.”

But the 23-year-old actress insists it was worth the wait.

She said: “Our first date was beautiful… it was very exciting. We went for lunch and to the beach.”

Rebecca, lives with co-star Tessa James, who plays Nicole Franklin on the show.

Asked who she spends the most time with on set, she revealed: “It’s a close call between my room mate Tessa and my boyfriend Luke.”

She really is a smitten kitten…
