Fans of time-travel period drama, "Outlander" have been wondering for long about the storyline of Season 3 but the real story is far more interesting than the plot. It is being said that the lead couple Sam Heughan aka Jaime and Caitriona Balfe aka Claire are in a relationship. Also, when the third season takes off, it will resume from the famous Battle of Culloden.

Speculations have been rife that the onscreen couple Jamie and Claire are dating secretly, reports Hall of Fame Magazine. Rumors of their affair have become a hot topic of discussion and when Heughan called Balfe his wife on Twitter, the rumored love story started looking like a real one.

For those who do not know, Heughan tweeted a congratulatory message on the social media platform, referring to Balfe as his wife. This was in response to her achievement as the winner of Outstanding Lead Actress in Entertainment Weekly's Poppy Awards. And, no actor would call his co-star wifey until he is serious about her.

In the meantime, showrunner Ronald D. Moore has teased that the premiere episode of Season 3, "Outlander" will start from Battle of Culloden.  He told Entertainment Weekly that it just felt like for the TV show and since they have been promising the battle for a while, it just felt like the show should have something. He added that they should give the audience some sense of what happened on the moor.

Speaking of Battle, Jamie is ready to join it and also mentally prepared to die while fighting. He is also expected to have a face-off with Black Jack, his arch-rival. As for Jack, it is being said that he might not survive the battle.

It is worth mentioning here that "Outlander" is based on the third book in the fiction series of the same name, authored by Diana Gabaldon. Two seasons have already aired and received much acclaim from the audience as well as the critics. Though no announcement has been made about the third season, it is being said that it will premiere early next year.
