Another dinner date: Katie Price and model Leandro Penna head out for dinner at Hakkasan in Mayfair


She has claimed they are just friends but Katie Price has certainly been spending a lot of time with model Leandro Penna.

The pair stepped out for their third dinner date since he arrived in London on Monday, this time dining at Hakkasan in Mayfair.

Their date comes as news emerged today that the model has filed for divorce from Alex Reid, 35, and that their marriage could be over as early as next month, if the cagefighter does not contest.

The 32-year-old is understood to have cited 'unreasonable behaviour' as the grounds for ending their one-year marriage.

Katie, aka Jordan, is being represented by Sir Paul McCartney's lawyer Fiona Shackleton, 54.

A source told the Daily Star: 'Kate is worth £40 million and the financial settlement could be the toughest part of the case.

'If the cash is agreed upon by both Kate and Alex, then this could be a real quickie.

'If he consents to the grounds she has put forward then the divorce could be finalised as early as April.'

The legal papers have been filed at the High court.

But her 'quickie' divorce from Reid looked like the furthest thing from Price's mind as she enjoyed her dinner date with Leandro tonight.

As usual, they were accompanied by her friends Gary Cockerill and Phil Turner, and it seems that Price is keen to keep romance rumours at bay by making their dates a group outing.

While the pair have been happy to pose for a number of home snaps they made sure they weren’t photographed together as they made their way into the West End flat earlier today.

The 25-year-old model was wearing a flat cap pulled down over his face and had a pair of aviator sunglasses covering his eyes.

He kept his hand to his face as in what seemed to be an attempt to keep covered as he was followed by Katie’s close friend Phil in an all-denim outfit.

Next, Katie emerged from a car in a fluffy white coat, ripped denim jeans brown boots and a furry headband hat.

But while she has been keeping her distance from him in public today, last night the pair enjoyed a meal with Katie’s sister and a friend.

The picture, which the glamour model posted to her Twitter page, sees the mother-of-three cosying up to Leandro with her hand holding his.

Hours earlier Price had claimed that she and Penna were just friends on her Twitter page but admitted he was ‘a good looking guy’.

Meanwhile Katie’s estranged husband Alex Reid has spoken of his devastation and according to The Sun said: 'I have spent the day crying. How can she do this to me? The bed is still warm.'

Miss Price is said to have paid for Penna’s flight to the U.K. after meeting him at Elton John’s party in L.A.

After hitting it off the pair left the bash in a taxi together.
