Richard Gere might have a new woman

The budding romance between Richard Gere and Padma Lakshmi could be over.

The “Pretty Woman” star, 64, was spotted holding hands with a brunette who a witness said “was definitely not Lakshmi” at Tutto Il Giorno in Southampton on Friday night.

Gere and the comely “Top Chef” host, 43, began quietly dating in April following his split from his wife of 11 years, Carey Lowell, six months earlier.

But a source close to the couple said they’ve been traveling a lot internationally and saw each other last week.

A Buddhist, Gere was in the Himalayas this month for a ceremony delivered by the Dalai Lama, who was celebrating his 79th birthday.

Lakshmi’s been in London.

Their reps didn’t comment.
