There's a new hot couple in town: recently divorced Scarlett Johansson is now dating Joseph Gordon-Levitt, says a new report. Initially, they just wanted to work together, but things have evolved since then.

In its latest issue, out on newsstands today, Us Weekly claims to have it on very good authority that Scarlett has moved on from her failed romance with Sean Penn, which reportedly ended in heartbreak for her.

The stunner is now dating Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the report says.

“Scarlett Johansson was spotted making out with 50/50 star Joseph Gordon-Levitt in NYC last month,” the celebrity publication says.

It even has an unnamed eyewitness to confirm it. Admittedly, the two make an incredibly cute couple, which is not really that much of a surprise.

“They were kissing,” the spy says for the celebrity publication. “They were very lovey,” adds the same source.

Moreover, it turns out that Scarlett and Joe have actually been together long before said date.

“It wasn't the first time Johansson, 26, and Gordon-Levitt, 30, hit the town together. The duo dined at Hundred Acres in NYC's SoHo area in late July,” Us reports.

Their first dates were actually business meetings, since the two were thinking about doing a project together.

“Although a source tells Us that Ryan Reynolds' ex and Gordon-Levitt have been 'discussing a project for a while [but] have never kissed,' another insider explains, 'They first met about a film they wanted to do together, but it's gone beyond that now',” the magazine writes.

Before (reportedly) dating Joe and Sean Penn, Scarlett was married to Ryan Reynolds.

Throughout the time they were together, they managed to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, but Scarlett has recently opened up about the pain of the divorce, speaking in very vague terms about the reasons the marriage ended.

As she put it, she most likely put too much pressure on the relationship, which is one of the reasons it stopped working at some point.
