    The Welsh star was spotted sneaking out of Anna’s Hollywood home in just his dressing gown

    Do we have a hot new couple on our hands? In a scene that could be straight out of hit flick Notting Hill, Welsh star Rhys Ifans was spied sneaking out of actress Anna Friel’s Hollwood home in just his dressing gown, early yesterday morning.

    The pair met on the set of Peter Pan prequel Neverland, when they began filming in September last year.

    And it seems they’ve grown more than just a little close since Anna ended her nine-year romance with actor David Thewlis earlier this year.

    Sheepish star Rhys was snapped making an early-morning exit from of Anna’s LA pad, stepping out to gather things from his car wearing just a dressing gown, before returning to make a quick getaway.

    And now Mr Ifans – who has been linked to everyone from Kate Moss to Sienna Miller and Kimberley Stewart – seems something of a permanent fixture.

    ‘She has been hiding herself away,’ one neighbour said of the actress since her split Daivid.
