While Derek, 30, partook in a leisurely stroll, Kate, 36, made a beeline for the Greenwich Hotel once she stepped outside of her car.

Kate was photographed arriving to her hotel in a tangerine orange tank top dress that flattered her slender figure. 

The Almost Famous actress, who was also celebrating her son Bingham's fourth birthday that day, let her blonde locks fall in a wild hairdo.

She added a casual touch with her comfortable sneakers, which no doubt aided her as she dashed out of her car and in the direction of her hotel.

Elsewhere, Derek wore his favourite messenger hat, which he teamed with an unbuttoned flannel shirt and dark jeans. 

Previously, Derek was seen exiting a local Japanese restaurant in New York's East Village following a lunch date with Kate.   

The genetically-blessed duo are said to have formed a close bond when Derek gave Kate dancing lessons last year, and it was claimed that they became more than just friends.

A source revealed to Us Weekly that the pair 'were totally kissing' as they hung out at West Hollywood hot spot The Nice Guy in December, days before the actress confirmed her split from Matthew Bellamy.

Kate has son Bingham with the Muse frontman, who is now dating 25-year-old Blurred Lines music video star Elle Evans.

The Good People star is also mother to 11-year-old son Ryder from her marriage to Chris Robinson. She separated from the Black Crowes frontman in 2006 after five and a half years of marriage.
