New Celebrity Couple: We Definitely Didn’t See This One Coming

Russell Brand and Jemina Khan were spotted enjoying a romantic dinner in London last week and were photographed yesterday, looking very loved up in New York’s East Village.

Russell showed off his unique fashion sense in an outfit wearing low-slung distressed jeans, paired with a sleeveless top so his many tattoos were obvious to see.

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 embrace Jemima.

39-year-old socialite and heiress Jemima - 11 years older than Russell's ex-wife Katy Perry - was chic as always in a classic ensemble of crisp white shirt and fitted jeans accessorised with delicate gold jewellery.

They do make a nice couple...

Although the pair have known each other for years, it appears they have grown closer recently and were spotted dining at a Vietnamese restaurant in Hoxham, an area familiar to the funnyman.

Jemima, who is the daughter of the late Lord Goldsmith, one of the  UK’s wealthiest men, was married to the Pakistani cricketer turned politician Imran Khan with whom she has two teenage sons.

She also dated Hugh Grant but they are said to have parted over his refusal to commit. Russell is somewhat of a ladies man too so it will be interesting to see how this pairing works out…
