James Marsden, 51, looks insanely youthful on outing with 26-year-old girlfriend

James Marsden has been snapped out and about in New York City with his younger girlfriend who is almost half his age.

The Notebook actor, 51, looked youthful with his 26-year-old girlfriend and Frederique Brons as they took a stroll around the city after a lunch date.

The couple looked relaxed and dressed-down styles including jeans and trainers.

James completed his look with a backwards baseball cap and a cream hoodie as he clutched his girlfriend’s hand.

It is thought that the couple has been linked since October 2023, shortly after James’s rumoured previous relationship with model Kelsey Merritt.

The Enchanted actor has been in the spotlight for decades but has often kept his personal relationships and children private.

The Dead To Me actor was previously married to Lisa Linde, a fellow actor who was best known for Pacific Blue, Days of Our Lives and The Darkling.

The couple tied the knot in 2000 and had two children together named Jack, 22, and daughter Mary, 19. The couple parted in 2011

At the time, a rep for James told People: “This was a mutual decision.

‘They are committed to raising their kids together and remain great friends.’

The actor also has a 10-year-old son named William, with his ex, Brazilian model Rose Costa.

In February 2023, the X-Men star spoke briefly about his children and told People that his children are underwhelmed by his career.

‘My kids have always been in the best way, kind of wonderfully underwhelmed with what I do,’ he said. ‘They think it’s cool and they’re proud of me, but…I’m Dad. They like to me to be Dad.’

James is known as a movie star but caught the praise of fans after appearing in Amazon’s TV series Jury Duty in which he played a fictionalised version of himself.

The 27 Dresses actor is set to star in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 which is post-production and scheduled to release on December 20, 2024.

James is also set to appear in a 2025 Hulu series titled Paradise which will see him star opposite Sterling K Brown and Julianne Nicholson.
