The actor - who recently separated from wife Robin Wright Penn - was seen "holding hands and acting like a couple" with model Jessica White at New York's Abe and Arthur's nightspot on Saturday (12.09.09) while celebrating catwalk star Noemie Lenoir's birthday.
Gossip website AceShowbiz reported: "They had no hesitation to act like a couple during the party. They were seen laughing and joking and the actor was even said to have been feeding the model food from his own plate."
Although they have not confirmed they are in a relationship, Sean and Jessica were previously seen enjoying two nights out in London this month, but at the time the identity of the 'Milk' star's female companion was unknown.
Last month, Sean was videoed flirting with two attractive brunettes at a bar in Malibu, just days after Robin filed for divorce.
In the clip, Sean shares a cigarette with a tall, slender woman dressed in black.
She smiles nervously as the 48-year-old star whispers in her ear with his hand on the small of her back before taking her cigarette out of her mouth and taking a drag.
Later, Sean is seen sitting next to another lady, wearing a pair of sexy denim hotpants.
As she tosses her hair and grins, Sean leans in close and nuzzles her neck, before whispering to her as the people they are with burst into laughter.
Robin - who has two children, Dylan, 18, and 16-year-old Hopper, with Sean - filed divorce papers on August 12 in Marin County, California, citing "irreconcilable differences".
She is not seeking spousal support and the couple have agreed to share custody of Hopper.
