Brit diver Tom Daley 'fallen for American star'

London, July 11 (ANI): Olympic hopeful Tom Daley, who had recently declared that he was 'not up for a relationship', is apparently enjoying a fledgling romance with American diver Kassidy Cook.

Close friend and fellow British diver Tonia Couch has revealed that the two of them are a couple.

"They're a good couple. They're a hot couple as well," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

Apart from sharing a love for diving, the petite pair also looks remarkably similar, sharing the same dark tans, pearly-white smiles, brown eyes and dimples.

While the young athletes are not yet 'boyfriend girlfriend', Couch admitted that they are completely smitten with each other.

It is the 18-year-old's second romance with an American diver, after he admitted kissing Mary Beth Dunnichay,

In his new autobiography 'My Story', Daley has revealed how he sneaked into her accommodation to give her a 'proper kiss', feigning an American accent to fool officials after he was caught in the wrong flat.

The 17-year-old Texan diver will not be competing at the London 2012 Olympics after she narrowly missed out on selection.

The 23-year-old, who says she has a 'brother sister' relationship with Daley, said that he liked "American girls".

"He likes one of the American divers called Kassidy. They always like to see each other when they go away. She likes him. They both like each other," she revealed.

The two young divers met at a competition in 2010 and have kept in touch ever since.

Couch said that they have 'started to speak to each other more' in recent months and have even exchanged gifts.

"They buy each other birthday presents, because they're both in May. She has bought him an 18th birthday present," she said.

On Daley's 18th birthday, Miss Cook, who is a three times junior national champion on the 3m springboard, tweeted: "Happy birthday @TomDaley1994 the big 18! Haha miss youuu." (ANI)
