Sofia Vergara and Lewis Hamilton looked very cosy as they headed out for lunch in New York.

The Modern Family actress, 52, set off a swirl of romance rumours with the F1 megastar, 40, after they stepped out together on Tuesday.

The pair were grinning from ear to ear at each other as they said goodbye before the Colombian-American star headed into a car.

Sofia looked as chic as ever for the lunch as she sported a pair of relaxed wide-leg jeans with a black one-shouldered top.

She also draped a white wool coat over shoulders and accessorised with a black leather bag.

Meanwhile Lewis kept it low-key in a pair of baggy paint-splattered torn jeans with a brown tartan shirt and overcoat.

He finished off his look with a typically quirky brown fluffy bucket hat and tan suede boots.

The pair were seen dining with friends at Breakfast by Salt Cure in the West Village on Tuesday.

The outing sparked some buzz as the pair enjoyed their meal at the trendy New York City spot.

Sofia and Lewis were seated next to each other at a restaurant table where they were joined by friends.

Observers claimed that Sofia hardly ate any of the food in front of her, as she was so engrossed in the table talk, according to TMZ.

Outside the restaurant, she and Lewis chatted to one another before she slipped into an SUV and left.

Both of the celebrities appeared to be in bright spirits as they spoke to one another on the sidewalk after the lunch, which is said to have lasted two hours.

The day after her lunch with Lewis, Sofia was spotted stepping out solo as she headed to dinner at the upscale American restaurant The Corner Store in Soho.

She showed off her ᴀssets in a plunging burgundy jumpsuit that emphasized her enviable hourglᴀss frame to full advantage.

Throwing a wine-colored coat fashionably over her shoulders, she added a splash of contrast to the look with a white Yves Saint Laurent clutch.

Over the years, Sofia has romanced a number of younger men, including her second husband Joe Manganiello, 48, and ex-fiancé Nick Loeb, 49.
