Henry Cavill and Kaley Cuoco split

Henry Cavill and Kaley Cuoco have reportedly split up less than two weeks after they started dating, but they are said to be keen to stay friends.

Henry Cavill and Kaley Cuoco have reportedly split after less than two weeks together.

The 'Man of Steel' star and 'The Big Bang Theory' beauty - who were spotted holding hands outside a Los Angeles supermarket earlier this month - have decided to go their separate ways after a few dates but are trying to remain friends, a source has confirmed to E!.

The news comes shortly after the 30-year-old hunk was said to be "totally hot for" the 27-year-old blonde actress, and the pair had been spotted out together in LA on several occasions.

A source explained: "They are totally hot for each other. He's excited to be dating her!"

Kaley also dropped a huge hint that the pair had started dating by posting a picture of herself looking at a poster for 'Man of Steel' - which stars Henry as Superman - and adding the accompanying message: "It's fantastic in every way."

Henry split from actress Gina Carano earlier this year following a 10-month relationship, while Kaley briefly dated Pepper bassist Bret Bollinger after ending her engagement to Josh Resnik in March 2012.

Kaley also previously dated her 'Big Bang Theory' co-star and on/off on-screen boyfriend Johnny Galecki for two years, but the pair managed to keep their relationship a secret for the duration.
