LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Vanessa Abrue (photos below) and Michael C. Hall are getting serious, claims a new report. Michael C. Hall is dating Vanessa Abrue, and have reportedly been together since March this year, claims an insider. Moreover, the two allegedly have been trying to keep their relationship quiet.

Vanessa Abrue and the Dexter star reportedly started dating after his split from Jennifer Carpenter. Abrue and Hall have reportedly have been in public, but only in groups of people, claims the report. She apparently, however, has told her friends that she is dating Hall.

But her alleged “code words” for him are peculiar. The report claims “Vanessa brags about dating Michael to her friends but uses the code names “Ginger” or “my friend” when she speaks about him in front of other people.” Ginger? Here photos are located HERE.

The report claims Vanessa, 25, began as a Dexter staffer last season. One source claims “I don’t think Michael realizes how much Vanessa talks about him to friends.” The same report claims Julia Stiles and Hall never dated. In December, Hall ended his second marriage to Jennifer Carpenter. He was formerly married to Amy Spanger for four years.
