Bradley Cooper, one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood right now, may have found true love at last. A new report suggests he and Scarlett Johansson, who recently split from Sean Penn, could be dating.

If they’re not, at least they got to spend one night together, Life & Style writes, citing unnamed eyewitnesses who have seen the two together at a recent party.

Bradley and Scarlett have been friends for a very long time, but they seem to have taken their relationship to the next level, says the publication.

The two crossed paths at a party at Hollywood hotspot Provocateur on September 16 – and they most likely ended up sharing breakfast, the aforementioned e-zine hints.

“Scarlett and Bradley arrived with a small group of friends, including model Cheyenne Tozzi, around 2 a.m.,” says an unnamed source for Life & Style.

Initially, Bradley acted as if he had plans with Cheyenne but, after a few drinks, his sole focus became Scarlett. He ended the night by winning her over, the report argues.

“While Bradley was flirty with Cheyenne initially, after some drinks he turned his attention to Scarlett. The duo were hand in hand and more than flirty by the end of the night!” the insider explains.

Given their A-list status, both Scarlett and Bradley tried to keep a low profile, but this was rather hard to do, another eyewitness reveals.

“They were here with a group of friends and ordered champagne. The group was having a good time together,” says the spy, adding that Bradley also downed glass after glass of the drink, and danced the entire night in a manner that was rather hard to ignore, even if one so desired.

Life & Style points out that talk of Scarlett’s (budding) romance with Bradley comes hot on the heels of another report, according to which she was back with rumored ex Justin Timberlake.

Admittedly, she reconnected with him also at a party that, oddly enough, Bradley attended as well.
