Former adult film star and media personality Mia Khalifa has firmly denied viral claims suggesting she is dating Rowan Atkinson, best known for portraying Mr. Bean.
Khalifa addressed the rumours on X after manipulated images spread across social media. The images appeared to show her vacationing in southern France with the 71-year-old British comedian.
“Guys, I am dating a fool, but it’s not Mr. Bean,” Khalifa wrote, making it clear that the claims were false. She has kept her current relationship private.
The confusion began after a satirical Instagram account posted a fake story claiming the two had been quietly dating. The post featured what appeared to be AI-generated images of Khalifa and Atkinson on a yacht. Although the account intended the post as a joke, many users took it seriously.

Atkinson has been in a long-term relationship with actress Louise Ford since 2013. He shares one child with Ford and has two children from his previous marriage to Sunetra Sastry.
Khalifa, meanwhile, has previously been linked to Jhayco and Robert Sandberg, and was married between 2011 and 2016.
While Khalifa moved quickly to shut down the false narrative, Atkinson has not publicly commented on the viral images. The incident highlights how AI-generated content and satire can easily fuel misinformation online.
