There’s still undeniable chemistry between Jeremy Allen White and Molly Gordon. On Friday, October 25, the pair was spotted enjoying each other’s company in New York City following dinner at the popular West Village restaurant Via Carota.
Dressing casually for their outing, Gordon, 28, opted for a white t-shirt, jeans, and a trench coat topped off with a baseball cap, while White, 33, complemented his look with a beanie, a sweater, and light-wash jeans.
This public appearance comes about a month after the duo was seen displaying affection in Los Angeles on September 25, which ignited the initial romance rumors surrounding the The Bear co-stars.
Photos obtained by PEOPLE showed the two cozying up, wrapping their arms around one another and sharing a kiss. According to a source who spoke to PEOPLE, the two have been experiencing strong feelings for each other for a while, noting that early on there were whispers about their intense chemistry, even off-camera.
The source added that the couple “didn’t start hanging out romantically until a few weeks” prior to their public display of affection in L.A., mentioning that White “really seems into Molly.”
“Gordon often spends time at White’s house, and they enjoy lunch dates together. Their interactions appear affectionate, filled with deep conversations, and they seem eager to learn more about each other,” the source elaborated.
In addition to their off-screen connection, the two portray romantic interests on The Bear, where Gordon joined season two as Claire, Carmy’s childhood sweetheart, with whom he rekindles a relationship. She also appeared in season three through flashbacks, although their relationship ended in the season two finale.
Before his connection with Gordon, White had been previously linked to singer Rosalía, whom he was first spotted with in December 2023. The two were last seen together at a The Bear event in July.
Earlier in the timeline, White had a brief romance with model Ashley Moore following his separation from his wife, Addison Timlin, in May 2023 after three years of marriage.
