Scarlett Johansson has a new man in her life following her divorce from ex-husband Romain Dauriac. The “Avengers: Infinity War” actress was recently spotted going out on a date with rumored boyfriend Kevin Yorn.

On Friday night, Johansson reportedly stepped out with Yorn to take a stroll in New York City. The lovers were photographed holding each other’s hands while walking toward a restaurant where they enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

Aside from being romantically linked, Johansson and Yorn also share a professional relationship. Apparently, the Hollywood star’s new beau is no other than the high-profile entertainment lawyer who is representing her, as per People.

The romance between the two may not have blossomed immediately after they got to know each other, but the two have maintained a good relationship for a long time now. “They’ve known each other for a very, very long time and they’ve genuinely liked each other outside of their working relationship,” an insider shared.

The same insider noted that the romance just developed naturally between the “Ghost in the Shell” star and the lawyer. “Romantically, things developed organically. There’s always been an attraction there,” said the insider, who also clarified that Yorn was in no way responsible for Johansson’s divorce from Dauriac.

Just like Johansson who has a daughter named Rose Dorothy with her ex-husband, Yorn also shares a daughter named Samantha with his former wife Julie Yorn, a Hollywood film producer and talent agent.

Yorn is the second man linked to Johansson since filing for divorce from French journalist Dauriac. She was previously rumored to be seeing “Saturday Night Live” funnyman Colin Jost. But the romance rumors between them just died down.

Back in March, when Johansson decided to file for divorce from Dauriac, the latter issued a strong statement against the actress. “It is indeed unfortunate, especially for our daughter, that Scarlett filed in court and made our personal differences so public,” the statement his lawyer issued to Us Weekly read. “I would implore her to withdraw her action promptly and to go back, as uncomfortable as it might be, to the negotiating table.”

Johansson and Dauriac secretly tied the knot in October 2014 after two years of dating. The movie actress was formerly married to “Deadpool” actor Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011.
