Though Zac and Sami haven't confirmed their relationship, they were recently spotted shopping in Denmark and also tucked into a "sophisticated" meal.

The actor recently wrote on his Instagram: "Thx to @ReneRedzepiNoma and team @Nomacph. You've created a sophisticated, one of a kind culinary experience I'll never forget. You rock! (sic)"
