Zooey Deschanel spotted kissing new beau Jacob Pechenik

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- Zooey Deschanel was spotted with new beau Jacob Pechenik over the weekend.

The 34-year-old New Girl star and Pechenik were photographed locking lips on a hiking date Saturday in Los Angeles.

Deschanel and Pechenik have been linked since earlier this month. The couple met on the set of Rock the Kasbah, which Pechenik is producing, and news of Deschanel's breakup with Jamie Linden broke shortly after she and the producer were first spotted getting cozy. She and Linden were together for two years.
