Hoping for love again, Jessica Simpson was spotted out with a possible new beau.
The “Come On Over” singer, who has been linked with Billy Corgan, Tony Romo and John Mayer, was reportedly seen with actor Evan Hart.
The couple was spotted enjoying each other’s company while sharing margaritas in Hollywood at Jane’s House on February 19. “Jessica looked really happy,” a source told tabloids. “She was totally flirting with this good-looking guy — Evan — and they were laughing and talking non-stop in the upstairs outdoor area.”
Adding, the source says, “They were with a group of about six people — including Jessica’s hairstylist, Ken Paves. Jessica and her date seemed to know each other pretty well.”
And it sounds like the two were quite cozy. “At one point, Evan had his arm around Jessica and then leaned over and kissed her. They left about 30 minutes later — at about 2 ‘clock in the morning!
