Agyness Deyn's romance with The Stroke's guitarist Albert Hammond Jr., appears to be heating up.

In scenes which will no doubt come as a blow to former boyfriend, The Paddington's rocker Josh Hubbard just two weeks ago, Agyness cosied up to Hammond on a bench in front of the Bowery Hotel in New York City.

Model du jour Agyness, 25, was dressed in a short striped minidress, and scuffed boots as she sat close to Albert, chatting on her mobile and showing him messages on her Blackberry mobile.

Last week Agyness tidied up her signature messy student look to accompany  the Strokes guitarist to the Songwriter Hall Of Fame Awards in New York, where his father was being presented with an award. 

The pair were inseparable for the whole evening and left the event holding hands.

But when asked by a reporter how the pair met, a coy Deyn replied: 'That's a bit personal, sorry.'

Agyness first let it slip that she was seeing someone new in an appearance on Channel 4 show The Nokia Green Room.

A source on the show said Agyness was raving about her new guitarist beau after the cameras had stopped rolling. The source told The Sun: 'Agyness’s eyes lit up when she spoke about Albert.

'Our production team guessed it was Hammond when she mentioned The Strokes in another conversation.

'She’s normally very laid back but I don’t think she was too happy with her bandmate for landing her in it during filming. She knew she had been busted.'

As well as finding a new boyfriend in record time, Agyness has recently turned her attentions to the world of music.

The 25-year-old has collaborated on a music project with friends the Five O’Clock Heroes and has performed a number of gigs of late including an appearance on the Sunday Night Project for Channel Four.

Meanwhile, Hammond has announced a one-off show in Los Angeles to support his forthcoming album.

The Strokes guitarist will perform  at Spaceland on July 11, debuting tracks from his second solo album 'Como te Llama?' which is due out in the US July 8.

Hammond is expected to announce additional summer tour dates throughout the US in the coming weeks.
