He’s found new love with a younger woman after his shock split from wife Rebecca Rigg earlier this year.

And Simon Baker appears to have let himself go, based on recent photos of the 53-year-old Mentalist star grabbing food in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. 

The High Ground actor was dishevelled and barefoot as he and girlfriend Laura May Gibbs, 36 strolled down the street.

Simon wore tracksuit pants and a plaid jacket as he chatted on the phone while carrying a loaf of bread. 

The L.A. Confidential actor’s hair was tousled and he bore a scruff on his chin. 

His fashion designer girlfriend epitomised casual chic in peach leggings, white sneakers and a black blouse.

The couple are believed to have first begun dating around March this year. 

Once rumours began circulating, the pair were pictured ramping up the PDA as they hit the beach in Byron Bay – with Simon cheekily grabbing his bikini-clad lover’s derrière while playfully attempting to pull her under a wave.

Just days later, the duo went ‘Facebook official’ in March as they promoted Simon’s new film together in the Northern Territory, with a picture emerging of the duo visiting the home of local Yirrkala community members.

The pair then sparked rumours they were moving in together in Sydney in April, after they were seen packing their car with suitcases and crates near the actor’s Bronte home.

Laura is the founder of Nagnata, a Byron Bay-based sustainable activewear label inspired by her love of yoga.  

News of Simon’s relationship came weeks after he announced his split from wife Rebecca on January 29.

The pair told PEOPLE in a joint statement: ‘We remain close friends and our three children will always be the most important focus of our lives.’

But according to Fox News, they actually separated nine months earlier, in April last year.
