One month after her divorce was finalized, Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted with another man.

In photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the 34-year-old enjoyed her wine in a New York City restaurant while having seafood dinner and cocktails with Brightwire founder and CEO John Cooper on Feb. 26.

She was wearing a black coat, black beanie with black boots and completed her look with cuff earrings.

The fashionista and the businessman left the restaurant together, and they are said to be "casually dating."

An insider told In Touch Weekly that the pair met through their common friends and have already been out on dates, so Friday night's outing wasn't the first time.

They further shared that Cooper has helped the actress-turned-designer forget about her failed marriage and is said to be the famous twin's type.

However, Mary-Kate Olsen is reportedly not ready to get serious with anyone, so she's only taking baby steps with her reported new beau.
