Within a month of making a new start in New York, Kirsten Dunst has reportedly found a new love as well — actor Ryan Gosling.

Last month the 'Spiderman' actress moved from Los Angeles to the Big Apple, where she bought a $3-million penthouse apartment shortly after completing six weeks at a rehab centre in Utah.

Since then she has been linked with 'Half Nelson' Oscar nominee Gosling, with the pair spending most of Saturday eating and drinking at a restaurant in Manhattan's Lower East Side.

A source, who saw the pair at the Freemans hotspot, told the New York Post: "They were definitely acting like they were on a date. They lingered there for hours and were both dressed kind of shabby."

Gosling was involved with his 'The Notebook' co-star Rachel McAdams until last year, while Dunst was most recently linked to Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell.
