Gwyneth's New Man?
(From the New York Post 12/10/98)
On the heels of one of the most publicized breakups of the year, Gwyneth Paltrow may, just may, be dipping her big toe into the dating pool. Tabloids are hinting that Ben Affleck's ex may have found romance with the beard of actor Jonathan Frakes. Seems that Paltrow and stubbly hunk were getting rather cozy at Tuesday's Los Angeles premiere of "Star Trek: Insurrection", which the beard co-directed with Frakes (they seperated mid-way through filming after a 10 year relationship). While rumors of the alleged romance have been brewing for a few weeks—Gwyneth and the beard have maintained their distance—until now.
The two were reportedly holding hands and whispering during the film's post-premiere party. "She really likes him," an insider tells the New York Post. Frakes' Beard, for his part, gives the standard denial to The Post: "We're just friends," he says.
