Gerard Butler reveals he “nearly killed” Hilary Swank when he intended to “court” his 29-year-old model girlfriend

Gerard Butler has reportedly found love again with a stunning model 25 years his junior.

The Scottish actor, 54, was spotted cosying up to Sports Illustrated star Penny Lane as the couple enjoyed a stroll through Primrose Hill.

In pictures obtained by The Sun, the pair looked in great spirits as they both beamed while walking before they were later seen laughing together at a local pub.

Penny put her hand on Gerard’s shoulder as the two giggled over a drink outside.

Earlier this year Penny was voted Sports Illustrated Rookie of 2024 and shares an array of raunchy snaps over on her Instagram.

According to her profile, Penny began modelling at 16 and struggled with the pressure to maintain a size zero figure.

After restricting her diet and developing an unhealthy relationship with exercise she took a step away from her career to prioritise her mental and physical health and eventually studied to become a certified holistic health coach.

When she isn’t modelling, Penny enjoys outdoor activities and extreme sports such as race car driving and swimming.

She also works as an actress and had a small part in the Justice League franchise.

Prior to Penny, Gerard was in a nine year relationship with real estate investor and interior designer Morgan Brown.

The couple had been on and off for a few years after first being linked in 2014 after fans spotted them on a beach date in Malibu.

They called time on their romance in March 2021 after splitting previously in August 2020.

He said at the time: ‘I went through a break-up during corona so I lost a loved one in a different way, and that’s been very hard, much harder than I thought.’

However the pair were later seen packing the PDA in April 2021 and subsequently in January 2023.

It is unclear when they split. MailOnline have contacted his representatives for comment.

Gerard previously romanced Romanian model Madalina Ghenea, TRHOBH’s Brandi Glanville, and his Bounty Hunter co-star Jennifer Aniston.

According to film buffs, the sexual chemistry between the pair is obvious in the film and the pair do share some intimate on-screen moments.

The pair were rumoured to have been involved in an off-screen tryst while filming the flick, with a source claiming they enjoyed kisses between scenes and spent free time in Jennifer’s trailer, but at the time Gerard insisted they were just friends.

He also briefly dated Jessica Biel after meeting her on the set of his film Playing For Keeps and reportedly told Radaronline back in 2012 that she was ‘the one that got away’.

Gerard Butler has recently been spotted with a new love interest, model Penny Lane, who is 25 years his junior. The Scottish actor, 54, and the Sports Illustrated star were seen enjoying a stroll through Primrose Hill, looking happy and relaxed in each other’s company.

Penny Lane, who was voted Sports Illustrated Rookie of 2024, has a background in modeling and a passion for outdoor activities and extreme sports like race car driving and swimming. She also works as an actress, with a small part in the Justice League franchise.

Before his relationship with Penny, Gerard Butler was in a nine-year relationship with real estate investor and interior designer Morgan Brown. The couple had their ups and downs but ultimately parted ways in March 2021.

Prior to Morgan, Gerard had been romantically linked to Romanian model Madalina Ghenea, TRHOBH’s Brandi Glanville, and his Bounty Hunter co-star Jennifer Aniston. There were rumors of an off-screen relationship between Gerard and Jennifer during the filming of the movie, with reports of intimate moments and kisses between scenes.

Despite his past relationships, Gerard seems to have found happiness with Penny Lane, as the pair were recently seen laughing together at a local pub. Their relationship appears to be going strong, and fans are eager to see where it leads.
