Freida Pinto seems to have moved on and has found happiness with polo player Ronnie Bacardi. After breaking off with her Slumdog Millionaire co-star Dev Patel, whom she dated for six years, the actress is reportedly getting closer to Ronnie. Earlier this month, the two were seen outside a steakhouse in Beverly Hills and now in a photograph, which has gone viral on social media, the actress has her arms wrapped around the sportsman, as the two are seen sharing a passionate kiss.

There's a new celebrity couple strolling down the streets of Beverly Hills. Freida Pinto, who broke up with her Slumdog Millionaire co-star Dev Patel last year, was recently spotted indulging in some PDA with her special "friend,'' American polo player Ronnie Bacardi, in Los Angeles.

The Academy Award-winning actress was pictured kissing the player at Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chao, and the couple seemed completely in love as they walked hand-in-hand. They were also spotted making their way to a popular ice-cream parlour.

"We're just friends," Freida claimed while speaking to the media back in April, and maintained a similar stance when Mirror contacted her yesterday. "There is nothing to comment on, really," she said.

The duo also went on a romantic getaway to Vancouver on October 18, where they ushered in Freida's birthday.

Barcardi had shared a snap of the actress from their trip, which was captioned: "Morning meets birthday girl...".

Freida had split from ex-beau Dev after a six-year romance and the duo maintain that they are on cordial terms. "We are incredibly close," Dev had told Mirror (December 14), while Freida had stated, matter-offactly (Mirror, September 5), "Dev and I are best friends. That's never going to change."
