It looks like Simon Baker, 51, is moving on following his split with Rebecca Rigg, 53, after more than 20 years of marriage.
Baker was spotted enjoying a romantic beach day with fashion designer Laura May Gibb, 36, in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia, on February 28.
In the flirty photos, Simon and Laura play in the water and at one point he wraps his arms around her from behind as she laughs and covers her face.
DailyMail.com reports Laura is the founder of the activewear label Nagnata, and has worked for Australian designers like Leona Edmiston and Tigerlily. The Daily Telegraph claims the pair met in Byron Bay, where she has a studio and he has a nearby farm.
