Meg Ryan appears to be back on the Hollywood dating scene after she was spotted enjoying a string of romantic dinners with Nip/Tuck star Julian McMahon.

The Sleepless in Seattle actress took a break from romance following the end of her marriage to Dennis Quaid and split from Russell Crowe in 2000, concentrating on raising son Jack Henry and adopted daughter Daisy.

But according to Australia's Herald Sun, she's recently been photographed on several "cosy" dates with Aussie actor McMahon in Los Angeles, sparking rumours she's found love again.

McMahon, who has been divorced twice, was most recently linked to model Kelly Paniagua, but his representative was unable to confirm whether they are still in a relationship.
