The British director-who has been romantically linked with Elle Macpherson and Jemima Khan since his split from his wife Madonna in November last year-dined at the Marmalade Cafe in Los Angeles before taking a stroll along the beach with the unnamed woman.

The ‘Snatch’ film maker appeared to be content and relaxed as he walked in his jeans and T-Shirt and a knit vest alongside his stunning companion, who was wearing a white maxi dress, cardigan and high-heeled shoes for the date.

Guy’s date with the mystery brunette fell on the same day Madonna was accompanied by her 22-year-old boyfriend Jesus Luz and sons Rocco, seven and David, three to the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic in New York.

Meanwhile a nude portrait of Madonna and Guy has failed to sell.

Created by acclaimed Scottish artist, Peter Howson in 2005 and titled, ‘Madonna and Guy,’ the painting was put up for sale by a private collector at auction in Glasgow but it failed to meet the £15,000 reserve price.

The artist has painted several pictures of the ‘Vogue’ singer in various states of undress.

Brian Clements, Director at McTear’s Auctioneers, said, “The auction was very successful, however, suprisingly, Peter Howson’s controversial piece of Madonna and Guy did not sell on the day.

“The painting is still for sale and we would be delighted to hear from anyone who is interested in this much talked about piece of Scottish art history.”
