On New Year’s Eve, the O.C. actress and SNL alum were all smiles as they hit up Ralph’s in Los Angeles for some kitchen staples, including various flavors of La Croix.

They kept it casual, with Rachel, 38, dressed down in jeans, a white tee, red animal print cardigan and black shades.

Meanwhile, Bill, 41, wore dark pants and a red hoodie over his white t-shirt.

The two first sparked romance rumors around Christmas when they had a coffee date in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma and were joined by some of Bill’s family members.

This new relationship comes seven years after they worked together on the 2013 comedy The To Do List, which was written and directed by Bill’s ex-wife, Maggie Carey.

The Barry actor officially divorced the writer in 2018, after 12 years of marriage and having three children together.

Rachel is also coming out of a long-term relationship.

She ended her on-and-off, 10-year romance with Hayden Christensen, 38, with whom she has a 5-year-old daughter, Briar Rose, in 2017.

In July, the Hart of Dixie alum opened up about dating as a single mom.

She shared on Nick Viall’s Viall Files podcast: “I was talking to this guy a few months back. Anytime I would bring my daughter up, [he] would never pursue the question or ask more about her.

“It was a red flag because anyone that you’re going to get involved with, if you have a kid, they have to be all about the kid.”

Rachel continued: “She has not met anyone as of yet, and it would have to be someone I know I’m going to be with.

“It would have to be a very serious relationship. If you’re going to pursue something with someone, they have to be interested in the kid or be willing to be around the kid or babysit the kid — no I’m just kidding.”
