Model Petra Nemcova is bouncing back from her broken engagement to British actor Jamie Belman by seeking solace in the arms of Sean Penn, according to a report.

The Czech beauty was due to exchange vows with Belman this summer, but the couple called off its wedding and split in early April.

The runway stunner has since reportedly turned to Oscar winner and fellow humanitarian Penn for comfort - and the pair, which was first romantically linked in 2008, was spotted enjoying a cozy dinner date in New York just days after the news of her break up from Belman hit the headlines.

An eyewitness tells the New York Post's Page Six gossip column, "Petra was all over him (Penn) like crazy. She was rubbing his shoulders and rubbing his leg. She was hanging all over him. Sean looked like he was playing it cool."

"But they did leave the restaurant together."

Penn previously claimed he and Nemcova were "just friends" in 2008, when he was in the midst of a divorce from actress Robin Wright. He went on to date Scarlett Johansson.

Nemcova was also engaged to photographer Simon Atlee, who died during the 2004 tsunami disaster in Thailand.
