A month after an alleged shoving match in their New Canaan home, music legend Paul Simon and his singer wife Edie Bickell appeared to be feelin’ just groovy Friday — holding hands and walking arm-in-arm as they breezed in and out of their latest court appearance.
A lawyer for Simon, 72, and Brickell, 48, told a judge at Norwalk Superior Court that neither spouse felt the other was a threat, and no protective order was issued.
The pair smiled and appeared to whisper together affectionately before their case was called; they clasped hands while facing the judge at at the defense table, and Simon stretched his left arm around his bride protectively as the two bolted for a chauffeured black SUV.
They’d been less than happy with all the Kodachrome at the brisk proceeding, however — asking unsuccessfully through their lawyer to have media cameras barred from the courtroom.
The allegedly slammin’ Grammy winners had sparred on April 28 inside a cottage on their property that houses a recording studio. Court papers say Brickell — best known for her ‘88 hit “What I Am” — told cops Simon had shoved her during an argument, and that she slapped him.
Simon suffered a small cut to his ear, and Brickell, who cops said smelled of alcohol, had a bruise on her wrist.
They two are due back in court June 17 at 9 a.m.
