Penn steps out with swimsuit model White

NEW YORK, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Sean Penn, who is in the midst of a divorce from wife Robin Wright, has been spotted in New York with Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Jessica White.

Penn and Wright, who are parents of a teenage son and daughter, began their relationship in 1989 and married in 1996. They reportedly had a stormy relationship, splitting up and reconciling several times before filing for divorce last month.

The New York Daily News reported Penn, 49, and White, 25, were seen dining out at Manhattan's Hotel Griffou Friday night.

"They were holding hands," a witness told People.com. "They seemed really into each other. She was laying on him. She was laying on his shoulder. He seemed really into her."

The pair reportedly attended a birthday party for model Noemie Lenoir at Abe & Arthur's Saturday night.

The Daily News quoted a source as saying Penn and White are "together all the time" since meeting in August.

"They are pretty serious together. She wants to get serious with him and it seems like he is really into her, too," the insider said.
