Renee and Sir Paul enjoy second romantic date

Just days after being spotted cheek-to-cheek at a rock concert, Sir Paul McCartney and Renee Zellweger have enjoyed an intimate candlelit dinner.

The pair greeted each other with a tender hug at the exclusive American Hotel restaurant in Sag Harbour, New York.

Bridget Jones star Miss Zellweger - at 38, the same age as Sir Paul's eldest daughter Mary - arrived first and chose a table near the fireplace.

Sir Paul, 65, arrived a few minutes later.

The pair lingered over their meal for two hours, talking quietly throughout.

Before parting, they embraced again.

The American Hotel is at the heart of The Hamptons, a favourite summer retreat for celebrities, where the former Beatle has a mansion.

One diner said: "It's an extremely romantic place to meet for dinner. The dining rooms are very dimly lit, mostly with candlelight.

"Sir Paul and Renee left separately - but they looked like they were enjoying themselves."
