Hugh Grant Dating Former Model? 9/3/08

British actor Hugh Grant has sparked rumors he is dating a former model 21 years his junior after the pair was photographed enjoying a romantic day out in New York's Hamptons.

The Love Actually star was seen frolicking on a beach with 27-year-old fashion designer Catherine Fuller earlier this week (beg01Sep08).

They were later snapped attending a polo tournament together.

A spokesperson for Grant, who turns 48 next week (09Sep08), admits the pair are spending time together, but refuses to confirm whether they are a couple, saying, "They just met at a party."

Grant split from longtime love Elizabeth Hurley in 2000 and recently dated socialite Jemima Khan.
