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.

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.
