New couple alert.
Padma Lakshmi and Kenya Barris are reportedly dating after being spotted holding hands while crossing a street in New York City on Sunday.
The “Top Chef” alum and the “Black-ish” creator seemingly tried to keep their PDA under the radar as they let go of each other when they reached the sidewalk.
The pair remained close while continuing their walk.
Barris stood out in a neon orange puffer jacket with camo cargo pants, while Lakshmi wore a white jacket, black jeans, an orange scarf and white boots.
According to People, the duo is in the beginning stages of their relationship.
“They met through work,” a source told the outlet Monday. “They are developing something together and are getting to know each other.”

“It’s very new,” the insider added.
Their romance comes over a year after Kenya, 43, filed for divorce from his wife of 20 years, Dr. Rania “Rainbow” Barris.
The former couple — who share six kids and separated in September 2020 — cited “irreconcilable differences” in their filing.
Meanwhile, Lakshmi, 53, was previously married to Salman Rushdie from 2004 to 2007.
She later moved on with Adam Dell in 2009, and the two welcomed their daughter Krishna, now 13, in February 2010.
Following their breakup, the “Taste the Nation” host and Dell amicably settled their custody battle in 2012.
After a few years off, Page Six exclusively reported that the pair was back together in 2017.
The happy family were spotted enjoying vacations together before the former couple called it quits once again in 2021.
Afterward, Lakshmi was seen packing on the PDA with writer Terrance Hayes in June 2021, Page Six exclusively revealed at the time.
However, in November 2021, she revealed that she was single during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.”
