Gerard Butler has been pictured for the first time with Sports Illustrated model Penny Lane, who is 25 years his junior. 

The actor, 54, put on a cosy display with Penny as they headed for lunch at the Queen's pub in Primrose Hill this week. 

Gerard has seemingly moved on from his nine year on-off romance with interior designer Morgan Brown, whom he was last seen with in January of last year. 

Penny put on an affectionate display and massaged Gerard's shoulders during their walk to the pub. 

As they arrived, Gerard got a warm welcome before heading to outside to enjoy a drink with Penny.  

The pair were then pictured grabbing two electric Lime bikes to ride through London. 

Penny cut a stylish figure in a leather jacket which was embossed with gold stars. She teamed the look with a grey hoodie, navy leggings and a black shoulder bag. 

Gerard, meanwhile, opted for a khaki co-ord, flat cap and aviator shades for the outing.

Earlier this year, Penny was voted Sports Illustrated Rookie of 2024 and shares an array of raunchy snaps over on her Instagram. 

According to her profile, Penny began modelling at 16 and struggled with the pressure to maintain a size zero figure. 

After restricting her diet and developing an unhealthy relationship with exercise she took a step away from her career to prioritise her mental and physical health and eventually studied to become a certified holistic health coach. 

When she isn't modelling, Penny enjoys outdoor activities and extreme sports such as race car driving and swimming. 

She also works as an actress and had a small part in the Justice League franchise. 

 Prior to Penny, Gerard was in a nine year relationship with real estate investor and interior designer Morgan. 

The couple had been on and off for a few years after first being linked in 2014 after fans spotted them on a beach date in Malibu. 

They called time on their romance in March 2021 after splitting previously in August 2020. 

He said at the time: 'I went through a break-up during corona so I lost a loved one in a different way, and that's been very hard, much harder than I thought.'

However the pair were later seen packing the PDA in April 2021 and subsequently in January 2023. 

It is unclear when they split. MailOnline have contacted his representatives for comment. 

Gerard previously romanced Romanian model Madalina Ghenea, TRHOBH's Brandi Glanville, and his Bounty Hunter co-star Jennifer Aniston.

According to film buffs, the sexual chemistry between the pair is obvious in the film and the pair do share some intimate on-screen moments. 

The pair were rumoured to have been involved in an off-screen tryst while filming the flick, with a source claiming they enjoyed kisses between scenes and spent free time in Jennifer's trailer, but at the time Gerard insisted they were just friends.

He also briefly dated Jessica Biel after meeting her on the set of his film Playing For Keeps and reportedly told Radaronline back in 2012 that she was 'the one that got away'.
