Jamie Dornan reportedly dating OC beauty

Ulster model and ex-boyfriend of Hollywood actress Keira Knightly has been reportedly dating former OC beauty Mischa Barton.

Dior and Calvin Klein model Jamie Dornan was reportedly seen leaving an Arcade Fire gig at Brixton last week with Barton by his side.

The 21-year-old, whose character Marissa Cooper was killed off last year after the third season of the hit TV series, is believed to have met Dornan at the exclusive Cartier bash in London last summer.

The actress was dating US rocker Cisco Adler, but apparently split up after an 18-month relationship last month.

She is currently starring in Richard Attenborough’s latest offering ‘Closing the Ring’, which was filmed in location in Belfast and Canada. However, none of Barton’s scenes were shot in the province.

Dornan has been linked with a bevy of beauties since his split with Knightley in 2005, including Sienna Miller and Lily Aldridge and a number of high-profile women have expressed interest in the County Down heartthrob, including Lily Allen and Peaches Geldof.
