(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Lindsay Lohan appears to be "smitten" with new love interest Spencer Falls.

The 25-year-old US actress has been photographed with handsome Spencer, who plays one half of Virgin Mobile spoof couple "Sparah". The pair were snapped leaving Lindsay's home in Venice Beach, California, earlier this month, with the images appearing in the latest issue of Star magazine.

Apparently the couple went for dinner at Hollywood's iconic Chateau Marmont. According to an onlooker, Lindsay and Spencer indulged in cocktails and a tasty meal.

"Lindsay seemed totally smitten by him and just really happy," a fellow diner told Star.

Insiders believe this could be Lindsay's most promising romance since she split from long-term lesbian lover Samantha Ronson, who she began dating in 2008.

One source claimed the actress appeared to have regained her sparkle during the meal.

"It was really refreshing to see her back to her old self again," added the onlooker.

Spencer had recently been linked to The Hills star Stephanie Pratt. (C) Cover Media
