Courtney Love is finding love with a new, much younger man. The rocker, 51, is dating Nicholas Jarecki, 36, the writer/director of the critically acclaimed Richard Gere movie “Arbitrage,” an insider exclusively told Page Six.
Jarecki’s the younger brother of Andrew Jarecki, the director of HBO’s “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst,” and Eugene Jarecki, who directed “Freakonomics.” Jarecki’s dad is commodities mogul Dr. Henry Jarecki.
“Courtney and Nick were introduced through mutual friends three months ago and immediately hit it off,” our source told us, adding, “They have been dating.” Another source added Jarecki and Love are both currently on the celebrity dating app Raya, along with stars like Diplo, Matthew Perry and Joe Jonas.
Love was spotted showing off her new man at Adam Sandler’s holiday party for his production company, Happy Madison, at Pickwick Gardens in Burbank, Calif., last week, we’re told.
“She was introducing him to everyone,” said a spy at the party, which included guests Marilyn Manson, Demi Moore, Miles Teller, Slash, David Spade, Gene Simmons, Vanilla Ice, Jon Lovitz and “Twilight” hunk Taylor Lautner.
At the party, the pair showed off their respective skills: Love took the stage to sing her band Hole’s “Violet” with Sandler, and Jarecki filmed the duet. “These guys are amazing!” Jarecki posted on Instagram with a video.
Our source said of the new romance: “Nick’s really into her. He thinks she is fun and unique. The age difference isn’t an issue at all.” But another insider sniffed, “Nick likes older women for sure, but I don’t think he’s interested in a commitment. I could see their social awkwardness connecting.”
Once-wild Love — who was married to Kurt Cobain and later linked to Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan — told us in 2013 that she was done with dating rockers and poor people. “Tattoos don’t work for me,” she said. “I like businessmen.”
Reps didn’t get back to us.
