The 22-year-old actress is reportedly dating her "Spring Breakers" co-star James Franco, 34. "Spring Breakers" also stars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens, but Franco seems to have his eyes set on the blonde bombshell.

According to the New York Post, Franco and Benson were recently spotted holding hands at L.A's Haunted Hayride. Unsurprisingly, the alleged couple's reps have not released any comment regarding the romance.

Franco and Benson's love affair may have been sparked by their hot and steamy scenes in the indie flick. In the film, four young girls find themselves mixed up with a drug dealer. In one scene, Hudgens, Benson, and Franco engage in some three-way action in a swimming pool.

According to E! News, Benson was initially worried about the scene but she said Hudgens and Franco made it very comfortable for her. Franco says that he tried "to stay relaxed" and not "use any teeth."

PLL SPOILER ALERT: In her much less adult role on "Pretty Little Liars" as the ditzy Hanna Marin, Benson will be dealing with the spooky and clever tricks of A.

According to ABC Family, Tuesday night's Halloween special will including a shocking death of an important main character. One the following 13 main characters (including the 4 Liars themselves) will be axed right before spilling a major secret: Hanna, Spencer, Aria, Emily, Caleb, Erza, Jason, Garrett, Jenna, Lucas, Noel Khan, Paige, or Toby.
