Butler and Aniston holding hands?

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler's rumoured romance appears to have gone public - the couple was spotted holding hands during a Saturday night (22Aug09) date in New York.

The pair, currently shooting comedy The Bounty in the Big Apple, spent Saturday night at The Jane Hotel.

A source tells People.com, "They had cocktails and... they were hand in hand."

But the actress' publicist, Stephen Huvane, insists gossips are taking the couple's friendship too far, insisting Butler and Aniston were not dining alone; they were out with friends including Kirsten Dunst.

He insists, "They were not holding hands and Gerry was one of the many people there."
