The Without A Trace actor started dating his new girlfriend – who is from Melbourne - after divorcing his wife of 17 years, Gia Carides, in March.

Posing for the obligatory red carpet shots, Alexandra flashed her best smile, whilst Anthony kept a straight solemn face.

Looking smart in a black suit, Anthony off set his crisp white shirt with a black and white spotted tie as he swapped his typically clean-shaven appearance for a beard.

However all eyes were on his younger beauty who dared to bare, going bra less in a revealing plunging V-neck blazer.

Matching her beau's attire, she wore an all black ensemble, pairing the cleavage baring look with a more modest pair of loose black pants.

She paired the sultry number with a pair of strappy stilettos and wore her mid length hair in tousled waves.

Sticking to the all-black theme, Alexandra wore a dark noir shade of polish on her feet and hands, as she opted for a natural makeup look, just circling her eyes with thick dark liner and painting her lips with a nude gloss.

The pair initially went public with their budding romance as they attended the Los Angeles premiere of Mad Max: Fury Road together in May.

The couple walked the red carpet together and a source told Daily Mail Australia at the time that things were getting serious between the actor and his new love interest.

Meanwhile, Anthony and Alexander were spotted holding hands in Adelaide in February, one month before Anthony and Gia had officially announced their split.

Since going public with their relationship, the brunette has posted several photos of the couple together on Facebook, and another image shows a brand-new Mercedes-Benz with a large red ribbon on top. 

The pricey present may well have been a gift from the Hollywood star, as Alexandra was celebrating her 26th birthday at the time.

The Lantana actor filed for divorce from wife Gia in the US in March.

The pair married in 1998 after starring in film Lucky Break together, and share a 12-year-old daughter, Bridget.

According to the publication there was no prenup and Anthony was seeking for joint custody.

Anthony has already been through one divorce after his marriage with Cherie Michan ended.

Like Gia, Cherie also worked as an actress and had a small role as a dancer in the 1982 film, Annie.

Anthony is best known for portraying Jack Malone on drama series Without A Trace, a role which won him a Golden Globe Award in 2004.

The South Australian-born talent also won an Emmy in 2002 for playing Simon Moon on the long running program, Frasier.
