Ashley Olsen is dating Bennett Miller.

The fashion designer and former child star has been spotted with the Moneyball director numerous times in recent weeks and even accompanied him to Philip Seymour Hoffman's funeral in New York on February 7.

Bennett was close to Philip - who died of an apparent heroin overdose on February 3 - after directing him in 2005's Capote, for which he won the Oscar for Best Actor.

Ashley, 27, and Bennett, 47, have previously been spotted at Dan Tana's restaurant in Los Angeles in January, where he was working on editing his film, Foxcatcher. "They were introduced and have started dating," a source said.

Ashley previously dated businessman David Schulte for around a year until the beginning of 2014 and previous to that she was with The Hangover actor Justin Bartha between 2008 and 2011.
