Previously, Fassbender had revealed as to how he fell for the 28 year-old actress.

"The chemistry was immediate, the spark, the intensity. I said early on, 'This girl frightens me'," Fassbender told The Mirror.

"She's so fierce and brave . . . it kind of bowled me over. We really relied on, pushed and supported one another, then we had fun as well. We would have a laugh," he added.

"We had BB guns, we played a lot of music. We surfed, fished, had barbecues, film nights," Alicia said.

Vikander speaking about their romance previously told Porter magazine: "We've never hidden the fact that we're a couple... He's extremely hardworking. He was like, 'Give me something new! I just need a new idea. I need to do it differently.' I just thought that was cool. Because that was what I was trying to do, too. To push each other and come up with new ideas each time."
