Actor Jude Law is reportedly romancing British model Lily Cole - who is 15 years his junior.

The Alfie star, 35, has previously been romantically linked to rocker

Rod Stewart's daughter Kimberly, but has been spotted with red-haired catwalk beauty Cole in recent weeks.

And their relationship appears to be hotting up, after Cole was snapped leaving Law's London home on Saturday afternoon having apparently spent the night together.

They had enjoyed a romantic candle-lit meal together in the U.K. capital's Covent Garden on Friday night, where onlookers said they were holding hands.

A source tells Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper, "Jude was keeping low-key. They were deep in conversation and making each other laugh."

"There was no blatant kissing but it was obvious they were more than just friends. Jude was being very affectionate and gazing into her eyes."
