Dating actor Billy Zane on and off before finally going their separate ways for good, Kelly Brook apparently has ended her single status as she is reported to have been secretly dating England rugby player Danny Cipriani. The twosome have no single word on the dating speculation, but The Sun claimed they have been on a string of dates after their first meeting late last month.

"It's early days but the romance is definitely on," a close friend of the movie actress told the publication. "She's said how she likes Danny but is a bit worried he's eight years younger. I expect he can't believe his luck."

Brook, however, was unwilling to discuss her new romance with Cipriani presumably due to their age difference and her recent split from Zane which has become wide media consumption. Appearing on Jonathan Ross' chat show on Friday night, September 5, she avoided discussing her love life, telling the talk show host, "I haven't had that many offers, I haven't been out all that much. I'm open to meeting someone but I'm enjoying being single."

Brook and Zane were longtime lovers and they even have got engaged. She called off her wedding to him in April 2008 after deciding she wasn't ready for marriage. The couple did reunite soon thereafter, but split for good this summer.
