Paul McCartney and Renee Zellweger have added fuel to the rumours that they’re dating after being spotted together for the second time in a week.

The pair were first spotted “flirting and chatting” at last weekend’s Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers gig in the Hamptons, New York, where Paul is currently holidaying.

Now, according to the Daily Mail, the couple enjoyed a candlelit dinner at the exclusive American Hotel in Sag Harbour over this weekend.

An onlooker told the newspaper: “It’s an extremely romantic place to meet for dinner. The dining rooms are very dimly lit, mostly with candlelight.”

The pair were spotted talking quietly during their two hour meal then hugged each other at the end of the night.

The onlooker added: “Paul and Renee left separately - but they looked like they were enjoying themselves.”
