Damian Lewis stepped out with new girlfriend Alison Mosshart weeks after it was confirmed they are very much an item.

The actor 51, and musician Alison, 43, were spotted walking through the streets of New York as he carried a tiny brown bag.

The happy pair chatted away to each other as they both looked casual in trainers and sunglasses.

Rocker Alison wore leopard print leggings and a plaid shirt over a trendy printed t-shirt. Damian wore a cream shirt with red palm tree prints with some oversized trousers.

The Homeland star was previously left heartbroken following the passing of his beloved wife Helen McCrory, 52, in April last year.

The couple were photographed together at a fundraising event for London's National Gallery last month.

According to an onlooker, Damian and Alison looked "100 per cent romantically involved – like they were on a hot date".

"They have mutual friends. I don't know exactly how they met but I'm fine with it. If she's happy, we are happy. I'm yet to meet him but certainly I'd like to."
