If you were HR Manager, mention it to him and/or his boss?

Couple of things to add then..
Not jealous, people are laughing behind the manager's back and saying he is giving the girl special treatment (ie. going easy on her when she messes up). And I'm the HR Manager, so its my job to ensure that managers are managing their teams well and, clearly, that's not happening

He's married and she's about 10 years younger than him. Plus this is a family business - not convinced the owners would think it was "great"

With the facts that have been presented I would consider the following:
1. What is the company policy? This should be the main driving factor for your actions.
2. How close is your relationship with this manager? Can you have an off the record conversation? Aware of course that as an HR person nothing is really off of the record.
3. How responsible are you for the personal reputation of this manager? (going back to item 1 first)
4. Personally - unless the policy demands it I would NOT go to his boss unless the couple are performing/acting out inappropriately at work (fondling, etc)
Good luck!

I'd mention it to him, quietly and in private, that these rumours were around, but leave it up to him what he then did.
I'd also be a bit concerned (as an HR person) that she might bring a case of sexual harassment against him, so you might want to mention to her (again, discreetly) that it has been noticed that he is paying her a lot of attention and ask her if she finds his attentions uncomfortable in any way.

Do you have a company policy that forbids this type of interaction?? Most companies i have been involved with have a "fraternization" policy that clearly states this type of conduct as inappropriate. If it's just rumor then you could send out a blanket memo to "remind" all in the company. This will send a message in the event it is true that if discoverd to be true there will be consequences to those involved.

If you are the HR Manager I think you have to bring the Manager in and discuss it. Not accuse or reprimand, but discuss the situation - get their side - let them know what is being said. They will either admit the affair or stop it - either way it needs to be resolved.

could you not say to him, there is a rumour going round that someone is doing this and that you would not be happy about it.
This gives them the chance to be a Little more discreet if they wish to continue.

You omit to say whether they are married or not, that must surely have a bearing on what your actions must be...

Ah, just let them enjoy themselves. As long as they don't make a mess of the desk and/or paperwork, what's the harm eh?

As long as it does not affect their work, I don't think that it is anyone elses business.
