Quentin Tarantino spotted kissing Vanessa Ferlito after dinner date

NEW YORK, Sept. 25 (UPI) -- Quentin Tarantino may not be dating Uma Thurman after all.

The Django Unchained director, 51, was photographed in a passionate embrace with Vanessa Ferlito on Sept. 19, following a romantic dinner date with the actress in New York City.

After their date, Tarantino was photographed with his arm around Ferlito's shoulder as the two went for a walk. The director's new love interest comes months after it was reported that he was in a relationship with Thurman.

The actress addressed the rumors in an interview with Vs. magazine in late August, and told the publication her relationship with the Oscar-winning director "is pretty much what it's always been."

"People are just having fun with it," she added.

Tarantino and Ferlito worked together on the 2007 film Grindhouse.
