Hollywood actor Jamie Kennedy is confirming that he's dating his "Ghost Whisperer" co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt, three months after she called off her engagement. The stars prompted gossip reports that their on-set friendship had blossomed into a budding romance behind the scenes when Kennedy joined Hewitt to celebrate her 30th birthday last month. Kennedy confirmed the news on Los Angeles California DJ Ryan Seacrest's radio show on Friday, comparing their "intense connection" to characters in the hit vampire franchise "Twilight."He told Seacrest: "Yes, we are dating. Wow, I've never said that. We're more than dating ... we're more than in love. We have an intense connection. She's my Bella. I don't want to bite her neck, but I want her to live. ... I'm in love, and I don't care!" And the star is also insisting the whirlwind romance was unexpected, adding: "I thought something would happen in my 40s. Hollywood makes us on our own train, and it's like I have a co-conductor now."
