Renee Zellweger and Irish singer Damien Rice are said to be enjoying a string of secret dates, reported the Daily Mirror tabloid.

The 35-year-old "Bridget Jones' Diary" star, who split up from "White Stripes" rocker Jach White in November after a two-year long relationship, has reportedly been spotted at a pub with Rice in Ireland.

"Renee and Damien have been seeing each other for a while and they're both really happy," a source was quoted as saying.

"They share a mutual love of music and both are very deep thinkers. Renee is pretty intense and Damien is something of a poet so they're the perfect match."

Renee, 35, was also reported to have visited Dublin two weeks ago and was spotted house-hunting, prompting speculation she wanted a home nearer to the "O" singer.
