Christina Ricci and her new boyfriend, Curtis Buchanan, show their affection during a day swimming at the beach

The budding relationship appears to be a fresh start for Christina Ricci, who was engaged to actor Owen Benjamin until June this year.

The pair met while filming the soon-to-be-released movie All's Faire in Love, but split before it hit cinemas.
Shortly after the break up she transformed her image with a sleek short dark hairdo - a far cry from the longer, blonder version she has been seen with in recent months.

And with five projects currently in the pipeline, the actress appears to have been keeping herself busy in the wake of her last break up.

Currently filming Long Time Gone, a drama about a broken family, she has already completed work on the soon-to-be released Alpha and Omega, Born To Be A Star and After Life.
