Jeremy Allen White’s new romance with model Lulu Tenney is off to a scorching start.

The heartthrob, 35, whose series The Bear dropped its fifth and final season in June, was seen packing on plenty of PDA with the 25-year-old brunette beauty on a park bench in New York City on Wednesday.

White couldn’t seem to keep his hands off Tenney, and vice versa, as they cuddled and talked together.

They appeared to be in their world and took no heed of passers-by.

The actor, who stars in the new whistleblower drama The Social Reckoning, was clad in a black pullover and faded blue jeans with ragged cuffs that touched the tops of his loafers, while Tenney showcased her city style in a navy pea coat, navy sweater and gray mini-shirt that put her long legs on display.

At one point during their loved-up session, Tenney’s bare legs were resting on White’s lap.

At another point, they were caressing each other’s faces and gazing into one another’s eyes before they sat back a little to enjoy their smokes while continuing the conversation.

White has had a high-profile and very active dating life since he split from his wife, Addison Timlin, in May 2023, almost a year following the premiere of The Bear.

The exes have two daughters, Ezer, seven, and Dolores, five, and share joint custody.

He was spotted buying flowers at a Los Angeles farmers’ market with model Ashley Moore in September 2023.

Then White was briefly linked to Spanish singer Rosalia after they were spotted together on a series of low-key dates in October 2023.

The actor was said to be dating Molly Gordon, his co-star on The Bear, for a spell. They were photographed kissing during an outing in Los Angeles in September 2024.

In July 2025, White also attended a screening of Gordon’s movie Oh, Hi!

Now he appears to have eyes for Tenney, who broke into the high fashion scene opening for Raf Simons’ first show for Calvin Klein in Fall/Winter 2017 and currently walks for major global designers and fashion houses such as Dior, Prada, Givenchy, Chloe, Chanel, Fendi, Ralph Lauren and Hermes.

White’s career is gaining speed as well. He plays Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz in The Social Reckoning, which released in US theaters on Friday.

The legal thriller also stars Oscar-winner Mikey Madison as Frances Haugen and Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg.

The synopsis for the film reads: ‘A companion piece to the hit film The Social Network, Sorkin’s original screenplay is based on the events that gave rise to the Wall Street Journal’s shocking exposé The Facebook Files.

‘The film is inspired by the true story of how Frances Haugen (Madison), a young Facebook engineer, enlists the help of Jeff Horwitz (White), a Wall Street Journal reporter, to go on a dangerous journey that ends up blowing the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets.’

Given the film’s subject matter and the process of shooting such an intense script, it comes as little surprise that White is trying to keep his two young daughters away from social media for as long as possible.

‘I get really nervous about young people and certainly my own children with stuff like this,’ White told Entertainment Tonight at the movie’s New York premiere on Tuesday night.

‘I think it’s hard enough growing up comparing yourself to other kids in school and your community.

‘And when you get this thing on your phone, you see the world. You’re comparing yourself to everything and you’re getting desensitized.

‘I think we should keep young people’s worlds as small as we can for as long as we can so they can get to know themselves before comparing themselves to anyone else,’ he said.

White continued: ‘There’s beautiful things about Facebook, Instagram, all this stuff you can learn, you can connect with people all over the world but when a dependency is formed, especially when young people start using it too early…

‘That’s when it gets scary for me. So I’m going to try to keep my girls away from it as long as I can.’

Aaron Sorkin wrote The Social Reckoning as a follow-up to his 2010 film The Social Network, which starred Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg.

The earlier film told the story of how Zuckerberg created Facebook from his college dorm at Harvard University.

It centered on Zuckerberg’s rapid rise to become the world’s youngest billionaire, and the ego and obsession that drove him, per Rotten Tomatoes.

‘I know there’s been a lot of discussion about whether it’s a sequel. It’s a follow-up,’ Sorkin told Entertainment Tonight of his latest project.

‘It is another movie about Facebook by the same guy who wrote The Social Network, and one of the characters from The Social Network is in this, as if Henry Hill from Good Fella showed up in Casino.’

Sorkin explained: ‘I wasn’t looking to get back into the world of Facebook at all, but I was introduced to Francis Hogan. This story was irresistible. I just really wanted to make the movie in spite of the fact that it was about Facebook again.’

Since The Bear made him a white-hot commodity in Hollywood, White, meanwhile, has appeared in several movies including the biographical sports drama The Iron Claw (2023), in which he played wrestler Kerry Von Erich, and the sci-fi romance flick Fingernails (2023).

White played music icon Bruce Springsteen in Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere (2025) and voiced the role of Rotta the Hutt, son of Jabba the Hutt, in Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026).

And he took the role in The Social Reckoning because Sorkin allowed him the creative freedom to interpret the character in his own way, per Today.
