"Oh, really? Hmm. Huh," he said. "Interesting. Good."

Many fans insist that there is more between Heughan and Balfe than just being good friends or co-stars. Their scenes from "Outlander" Season 3 are often intense and passionate that fans believe that such chemistry only comes from something else.

Filming for "Outlander" Season 3 is already underway, as Heughan and Balfe have been sharing production status and updates on social media. The upcoming season of the Starz drama will be based on Diana Gabaldon's third book titled "Voyager."

"Outlander" Season 3 will be set 20 years from the Battle of Culloden. Claire will discover that Jamie survived the war and their reunion is one of the most highly anticipated scenes.
