The couple was all smiles as they were spotted enjoying dinner at Beverly Hills eatery Bouchon on January 14.

Laura was dressed to the nines and showing off her pale and lean legs in a front-split black skirt and chic black ankle boots paired with a clingy black lace-accented top and tailored black leather jacket.

Common looked casually cool in black jeans and a black T-shirt with stylish taupe coat and new-looking trainers with spotlessly white laces.

Laura seemed animated as she and the recording artist arrived to the posh French restaurant inside the Montage Hotel.

The Twin Peaks star has been single since her divorce from Harper was finalized in September 2013.

The duo wed in 2005 after meeting at one of Harper's concerts in 2000, but they filed for divorce in October 2010 citing irreconcilable differences.

Common has been romantically linked in the past to singer Erykah Badu, actress Taraji P. Henson and most recently tennis ace Serena Williams.

He and the Grand Slam champion ended their relationship in 2010 after an on-and-off two-year relationship.
