Damian Lewis and Alison Mosshart have stepped out together in New York City this week for a SoHo shopping trip.
The couple – whose budding romance has continued to blossom in recent weeks – made a rare public appearance as they looked relaxed while strolling through the trendy district in Manhattan.
The 51-year-old Homeland star kept things casual in a black polo shirt with a pair of grey chinos and white trainers, and he was spotted holding a large shopping bag.
Musician Alison, best known as the singer in The Kills, wore a blue plaid shirt over a black top, completing her look with leopard print trousers and black shoes.
She rounded off the grunge style with orange rimmed sunglasses and a simple necklace, with the couple enjoying some quality time together.
Their relationship continues to build after they first met in London through mutual friends, with their romance coming just over a year after the death of the actor’s wife Helen McCrory following a private breast cancer battle.

The actress, best known for her performances as Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter franchise and Aunt Polly on hit BBC drama Peaky Blinders, was 52 when she died.
Writing a moving tribute to his late wife shortly after her death, Damian revealed that she had ‘encouraged’ him and their children Manon and Gulliver, now 14 and 15, ‘to live fully, take opportunities, have adventures’.

He continued: ‘Only a couple of weeks ago she said to us from her bed, “I want Daddy to have girlfriends, lots of them, you must all love again, love isn’t possessive, but you know, Damian, try at least to get though the funeral without snogging someone.” ’
The actor also shared that he had been ‘staggered’ by her, adding: ‘She’s been a meteor in our life.’
Meanwhile, Damian and Alison’s relationship has the seal of approval from her mother, who revealed last month she was yet to meet the actor but was supportive of the way things are going.
Florida native Vivian told DailyMail.com: ‘I don’t know how much flak I’m going to get for all of this but of course we are excited for her.
‘They have mutual friends. I don’t know exactly how they met but I’m fine with it. If she’s happy, we are happy. I’m yet to meet him but certainly I’d like to.’
