Gerard Butler, 54, is reportedly in a new relationship with a striking model who is 25 years younger than him. Butler was seen cozying up to Sports Illustrated model Penny Lane, as they took a leisurely walk through Primrose Hill. Photos obtained by The Sun captured the couple appearing joyful as they walked, followed by moments of laughter together at a nearby pub.

Penny placed her hand on the actor’s shoulder while they shared a laugh over drinks outdoors. Earlier this year, Penny was voted the Sports Illustrated Rookie of 2024. The model often posts an array of racy photos on her Instagram account and boasts a huge fan following.

According to her profile, Penny started her modeling career at the age of 16, facing challenges with maintaining a size zero figure under pressure. Struggling with diet restrictions and an unhealthy exercise routine, she eventually took a break from modeling to prioritize her mental and physical well-being.

She later pursued certification as a holistic health coach.

The couple’s relationship had its ups and downs since they were first linked in 2014 after being spotted on a beach date in Malibu. They parted ways in March 2021 following a previous split in August 2020.

He said at the time: “I went through a break-up during corona so I lost a loved one in a different way, and that’s been very hard, much harder than I thought.”
