Sources say the couple has been spotted on a string of dates around Los Angeles.

Last week the Beatrix Potter actress, 37, and Perry were seen dining at the posh Tower Bar restaurant at the Sunset Tower in LA. An onlooker said:

"They were definitely on a date. "They both looked super-skinny. He was looking very grungy - baggy jeans, lumberjack flannel shirt and baseball cap. She had on a white button-down shirt, glasses and striped pants." The source told a US newspaper: "They were talking very closely and rubbing knees.

Zellweger's marriage to country and western star Kenny Chesney was annulled in December 2005, just six months after they wed. Perry, 41, was previously married to Rachel 'Minnie' Sharp, the mother of his two children.

They split in 2003. Perry is best known for playing teen hunk Dylan McKay on the hit nineties show. Zellweger has also dated White Stripes rocker Jack White and Hollywood funnyman Jim Carrey.
