Dev Patel has a girlfriend and everyone feels personally victimised

Hands up: Who feels personally victimised by Dev Patel's new girlfriend? If your hand isn't raised, you're a liar and a fraud. 

While Australian actress Tilda Cobham-Hervey seems really cool and nice, the fact remains — she has burst our collective bubble by dating the internet's fantasy boyfriend, Lion actor (who does a mean Australian accent) and known Longbottomer, Dev Patel. Why cruel fate?!

The dreamboat and his Hotel Mumbai co-star/lover were snapped in L.A. Tuesday, with Patel's adorable mother also in tow.

Look how happy they are. Pfft, it won't last. Jokes! Good for them, etc. But the fact remains — the people are devastated. 

The heartbreak is real. But some inexplicably mature people are beyond social media's pettiness. 

Dev has a history of dating mega babes. He previously dated his Slumdog Millionaire co-star Freida Pinto from 2008 to 2014. They too were heartbreakingly cute together. God dammit.
