Richard Gere and Padma Lakshmi Are Dating

The Pretty Woman star and the Top Chef host are quietly dating, PEOPLE reports.

Gere is currently shooting his latest movie Time Out of Mind in New York, where the TV personality lives. “They’re just getting to know each other,” a source told PEOPLE. “They’re not sure where it’s going yet.”
