Just over a week ago notorious ladies man Russell Brand was spotted enjoying an intimate dinner a deux with millionairess Jemima Khan in London.
And on Sunday, the unlikely duo appeared to confirm their romance as they stepped out together looking very affectionate in New York’s East Village.Russell looked his usual eclectic self for the date in an outfit consisting of low-slung distressed jeans, which he paired with a sleeveless top that showed off the several tattoos adorning his yoga-toned arms.
The 38-year-old comedian wore a blue scarf printed with white stars around his neck and carried a jacket in one arm, leaving the other arm free to cuddle Jemima.
Meanwhile, 39-year-old socialite and heiress Jemima looked casual yet chic in a pair of fitted blue jeans teamed with a crisp white shirt.
She paired her low-key yet elegant ensemble with a pair of grey heeled boots, and left her long hair loose and tousled.

While Russell and Jemima have been friends for years, they have only become closer recently, when they dined at a low-key Vietnamese restaurant in the funnyman’s old stomping ground of Hoxton.
Russell revealed in a lengthy op ed in The Guardian last week that he was dating somebody, but refused to identify who.

Instead, he called her a ‘nerdish, whirling dervish’, adding: ‘I’m not typically immune to the allure of objectified women, but I am presently beleaguered by a nerdish, whirling dervish, and am eschewing all others.’
Jemima and Russell are believed to have first met two years ago, when she commissioned him to write an article for the Left-wing New Statesman magazine when she was its guest editor for a week.
While Russell’s divorce from Katy Perry was made official in July 2012, Jemima’s most recent relationship was with actor Hugh Grant, from whom she split in 2007.
