James Marsden Spotted On a Date with Model Kelsey Merritt! (Photos)

Are James Marsden and Kelsey Merritt a new couple?!

The 49-year-old actor and the 26-year-old model were spotted looking very happy together while stepping out for a dinner date on Thursday night (April 6) in Santa Monica, Calif.

James and Kelsey got in his car and drove off together after the meal at Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi, which is a favorite among celebs.

It’s not clear if they’re dating or just friends, but they do follow each other on Instagram and have been at some of the same events lately. They were both at the Ralph Lauren fashion show in Los Angeles in October 2022 and they both attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in February 2023. There are no photos of them together at either event.

James was most recently linked to British singer-songwriter Edei, who he had been dating since 2015. The last time we saw them together was at the U.S. Open last September. While he still follows her on Instagram, she no longer follows him and has appeared to delete photos of him from her page.

Kelsey has dated Olympic swimmer Conor Dwyer and she was linked to Jared Leto last year.
