Australian actor Jai Courtney has been photographed sharing an intimate moment with an unidentified brunette during a night out in Los Angeles. The sighting comes shortly after the star left a flirty 'marry me' comment for his long-term partner, actress Dina Shihabi, on social media.
A Casual Dinner Takes a Personal Turn
The 39-year-old star of The Suicide Squad was enjoying a meal with friends at the popular Los Angeles pizza restaurant Jon and Vinny's on Tuesday. Following dinner, the group was approached by what appeared to be an acquaintance or a fan.
Courtney seemed delighted by the interaction, engaging in a lengthy and cheerful conversation with the woman on the street while his friends looked on. The actor was not shy about physical contact, happily offering the mystery brunette a warm hug.
As the chat continued, the Dangerous Animals actor stood in close proximity to his female companion. At one point, he wrapped his arm around her, resting his hand comfortably on the lower part of her back.
Stylish Outing and Recent Romantic Gesture
Jai Courtney cut a sharp figure for his casual pizza outing. His ensemble consisted of a crisp white shirt, left unbuttoned at the top, tucked into navy chinos secured with a belt featuring a large silver buckle. He added a vibrant red denim jacket and completed the look with brown snakeskin-patterned boots, sporting a closely cropped hairstyle and a thick beard.
This LA rendezvous follows a very public display of affection for his partner, Dina Shihabi. Just recently, Shihabi posted a photograph of herself relaxing on a daybed, which prompted Courtney to comment 'Marry me' on the post. Shihabi responded with a simple 'I do', sending her 85,000 followers into a frenzy.
A Growing Family and Career Highlights
The couple, who began dating in July 2022 after meeting on the set of Catching Dust, welcomed their first child in May 2023. In an interview with the West Australian last September, Courtney spoke profoundly about the importance of family, a perspective deepened by fatherhood.
He stated, 'It's only family that matters... if the wheels fall off, no one's gonna take that away from you.' He emphasised the value of being present for one's family as the ultimate gift.
Courtney's career trajectory saw him rise from Australian television shows like Packed to the Rafters to Hollywood blockbusters including Jack Reacher with Tom Cruise, A Good Day to Die Hard, and the Terminator franchise. Dina Shihabi is recognised for her roles in series such as Jack Ryan, Daredevil, and Altered Carbon.
